Jane and Amanda Threlfall possess a rare talent. They breathe new life into traditional songs in a way that makes you feel that it was always meant to be like this. Although accomplished musicians, they’re aided and abetted by the group’s third member, Roger Edwards, is a musician who can do sensitive song accompaniment or positive English music with equal relish. Their new CD “Sweet Nightingale” has had rave reviews.
We welcome back Colum for his second visit. He is a member of the internationally renowned Sands Family from County Down and he writes and sings about the lives and foibles of ordinary everyday people but he imbues them with a warmth and sincerity that transforms them in your mind so that you feel you know and love them as much as he does. His songs are covered by the great and the good but he is the best exponent of them.
Janet escapes from JigJaw to do a solo evening for us. She combines songs of social comment with Scottish ballads and diddling (that’s mouth music to you). She can make you laugh or cry but you will be spellbound by her voice. She also has a new CD out called “Love songs and fighting talk”.
John and Will have been singing together for over twenty years and they take delight in songs from their beloved Yorkshire many of whom have been handed down to them through the generations. It has been said that they are two honest singers singing honest songs and after hearing them I am sure you will agree. They will be plenty of opportunity to join in the choruses.
We open with John and Nicole who are on tour from Australia and we are delighted to have them. Expect wonderful harmonies superb solos and fabulous music all served up with bags of energy from this young duo. They really set the place alight with their performance at the last visit. Come early for a seat and be prepared to sing.
