Apr 18th. The Askew Sisters

The Askew SistersHazel and Emily are on their third visit to the club. Fiddle, melodeon and voices are what you get from this young duo whose star is very much on the up, and when they visit, it will be in the middle of a major tour. These sure-footed performers cram a lot into their lives, Hazel as part of Lady Maisery and Emily playing early instruments for theatre productions. They are also very involved in Dartington International Summer School each year. Look out for their new CD.

Apr 11th. Ron Taylor and Jeff Gillett

Ron Taylor and Jeff GillettWe’ve booked Ron in various guises over a long time and it is a pleasure to welcome him back with Jeff. One of their CDs is called “Both Shine As One” and is a very apt title. Ron’s huge repertoire of ballads is always being added to and it is a joy to listen to him, while Jeff’s excellent accompaniment seems tailor made (no pun intended). I have heard Jeff’s work with artists such as Jim Causley and the late Sarah Morgan, always with the same expertise and passion.

28th Mar. Judy Cook

Judy CookWe welcome the return of Judy Cook who is on tour from U.S.A and is one of its finest singers in the tradition. Quite often we can see that a song hailed from here and has retained the story and some of the characters but has evolved to embrace both cultures.Others are completely home grown and she gives us an unique opportunity to hear them.They are all delivered with love and some times humour. There will be choruses so bring your voices.
