Tom Lewis is no stranger to the club and it is great to have him back. For songs of the sea he has very few equals, but he is just as adept with songs of the land. Tom has a warm personality and is at home both in a club and on a maritime festival stage. He is no slouch at song composition, with most of his songs going straight into the folk cannon. His accompaniment on button box or uke is first rate and his sense of humour is a joy to behold. Bring your lungs you’ll need them.

This is an exciting new collaboration between two leading lights of their generation of traditional singers, George Sansome (Granny’s Attic) and Matt Quinn (Dovetail Trio) sing traditional folk songs from the British Isles, both unaccompanied, and accompanied by mandolin and guitar.Their well-blended voices and close harmonies create a warm, enthralling sound and their English folk instrumental styles complement each other perfectly. Quinn is known for his solo work focusing on traditional songs from Sussex, and is a skilled performer with a distinctive voice and sprightly mandolin style. Sansome, who also performs solo, is a deft guitarist with a rich, sweet voice.

Lynne Heraud and Pat Turner, Two ladies with alot to sing about. You never quite know what to expect from a Lynne and Pat night, will they dress up, it stands a chance, will their songs make you laugh, definitely, but they might make you cry? Each one of them could easily carry the night on their own but together they are something very special. Lovely harmonies, audience participation and excellent accompaniment, a class act and a night not to miss.
