Sarah Matthews and Doug Eunson make a return visit. They have been here in many guises down through the years but tonight we have them as a duo. Sarah on fiddle, viola and vocals and Doug on melodeons and vocals. Expect some lovely harmonies  as well as superb solo singing. Rattling  good tunes and a very good stage presence. They are at home on both the festival and folk club scene . They are proud of their Derbyshire roots, singing both trad and self penned songs and tunes. Lovers of chorus singing will not be disappointed.

A special night for us a local lad made good, it will be great to see him back at the club again this time as a solo guest. Put a squeezebox or concertina in his hands and it seems to become part of him. Lively jigs, slow airs, tunes from England, Scotland and Ireland move from his head to his hands effortlessly, but speak to other musicians and they will tell you of the effort that is needed to make it look so. With a good strong voice and an eclectic store of songs you will be spoilt for choice. Get here early he has a huge following.

We welcome this talented duo back to the club where they have made many friends down the years. You will hear some of the finest songs in the tradition, sung both as harmonies and solos. Each of them is more than capable of carrying a night single handed, but then you would miss the gentle humour mainly directed at each other and the harmonies that flow from it. Dave with his song writer’s hat on is well respected by the folk community, so I know we will benefit from some of those as well. Bring your vocal chords.

Lester Simpson. We welcome back Lester, former member of Coope Boyes and Simpson , for another solo visit. Composer, writer, broadcaster and singer. he will regale us with a fine collection  of both Traditional and self penned material. His easy stage presence and humorous anecdotes  coupled with his melodeon playing makes for a great evening.  Plenty of opportunity to join in.
