Martyn Wyndham Read can charm an audience with the range and quality of his voice. One of the most frequently requested guests he has become a firm favourite at the club. His passion for Australian songs and stories is coupled with his love of traditional material. He is also a great admirer and exponent of the late great Graham Miles material. His fund of stories are delivered with a dry wit. Again, a very popular guest so come early for a seat.

We open with Nancy Kerr and James Fagan. Combine two fine singers with Nancy on fiddle and James on guitar, add a love of the tradition and a growing body of self penned material and you are only scratching the surface. They have a natural affinity with performing live and making the audience part of something very special. You have been warned so come early.
Mal Waite is part of the Waite Collective but we welcome her back to the club tonight to do one of her rare solo bookings. Her repertoire ranges far and wide and encompasses traditional and self penned numbers and she may even throw in a Music Hall ditty.
Eric, Eileen and the gang are back with their latest play. Expect songs, stories and musical sketches about what goes on in the rustic environment of allotments both past and present, with plenty of audience participation. As this performance uses about a dozen people including lights and props it curtails the amount of room we have, so come early as the last show was a sell out.
We welcome back Hissyfit for their second visit to the club. Hazel Richings and Linda Kelly, are based near Hull, and have been singing together for about 14 years. Linda also writes songs as well as collecting stories about the lives of the people involved in the fishing industry around the Humber which they have added to their repertoire. She is delighted that her songs have been absorbed into the folk scene and are recorded by other artists.
