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.

Derek has gained an international following as a fine singer of traditional songs as well an astute interpreter of contemporary material. He has a warm personality which he uses to win over his audience. Added to all this is his gift of fitting tunes to other people’s stories and poems and there is many a song being sung on the folk scene with Derek’s tune attached.
Bob Fox ‘Just an Old War Horse Tour’ ***Ticket Night*** Fresh from his success on stage as Songman in War Horse. When Bob sings a song about his beloved North East he imbues it with a magic that makes it his alone. Expect songs of love, joy, work and humour, sometimes all four in one song all accompanied by a wonderful guitar style that can both drive or embellish a number. This man has served his time at his craft and it shows. Get your tickets early as I am polishing the house full sign.
