Mat Green and Andy Turner are part of the very successful Magpie Lane. As a duo they play mainly traditional English dance tunes. They specialise in little-known tunes from eighteenth and nineteenth century village musicians' tune books. The tunes are interspersed with songs, again, mainly from English traditional sources, but with the occasional surprise.
Dave and Anni are in demand both here and across the pond. Come and hear some lovely harmony singing coupled with Dave’s own songs that sit comfortably with the traditional material. They are at ease either singing solo or together. Bring your chorus voice.
We welcome back Keith Kendrick and Sylvia Needham from Derby who can be relied upon for fine harmony singing, coupled with some wonderful concertina playing They are equally at home with a ballad, shanty or a Music Hall ditty. They will be lots of opportunity for you to join in. This replaces Mal Waite who has had to cancel due to illness.
This is our annual Christmas Ceilidh at The Holy Name Parish Centre, Birmingham Road, Great Barr B43 6NR.
With our excellent band Captain Swing and their genial caller Mike Griffiths. This is always a sell out so get your tickets soon
A much respected song writer Jez’s songs are loved and sung throughout the folk world but we have the man as well as the songs. Come and be mesmerised by the skill and ease that he conveys stories of the ordinary people and trades of his beloved north-east. A long time favourite of the club.
