Photos of the guests and singers for 62st Season.
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.

They sing & play traditional Portuguese tunes on pipes and side drum as well as repertoire from the UK and the rest of Europe too; Miguel plays Gallician and Irish pipes as well, and Andres is a wizard on just about every form of percussion I've ever seen.
Matthew price and Nathalie Fischer (Ireland, somewhere in County Clare...) sing and play folk and blues.Looking for common narratives in songs (Hard Times of Old England/Hard Time Killing Floor Blues for example), and imagining how songs that didn't reach the States may have sounded if they had.

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.
