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.
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.
Noreen hails from Liverpool of Irish stock and this shows in the presentation of many songs from her repertoire. She has a lovely light style that can be serious or comical when a ballad needs it. A joy to listen to so folk clubs take note.

It gives us great pleasure to welcome back Tom the wonderful Geordie fiddler and vocalist with the young talented musician and singer David Newey. The onstage rapport between these two and the joy of working together shine through their performance. Tom’s humour is a bonus both for us and David. Come early for a seat.
