Hector Gilchrist

We welcome Hector back to the club at a very busy time for him, with the release of his latest CD "Gleanings" garnering some cracking reviews. What to expect is a night of wonderful songs from a master balladeer. He will not forget his Scottish roots as he has many fine Burns melodies, but he is not a man to be tied down to one country or genre. So come along shake off those winter blues and be ready to join in the choruses.

Dec 7th. Steel Songbirds.

Steel Songbirds
Steel Songbirds

Steel Songbirds are Marilla Homes and Emily Eastwood, who hail from Australia and England, forged in Sheffield, tempered in the swimming pool of life and sharpened on the wit of singledom in the folk/pub/archaeology worlds. They sing songs of history and of silliness, songs of their own and songs of others. A comic and poignant musical duo. Blending acapella voices, with occasional fiddle and bouzouki, these girls know how to laugh!

sold out

This is a ticket night and will sell out very quickly.

The Teacups are Alex Cummings, Kate Locksley, Rosie Calvert and Will Finn. They sang for our 50th Birthday where they closed the evening with a barnstorming performance. We are expecting no less tonight. Expect fabulous harmony singing from this quartet and a wide variety of songs and styles. They have a great stage rapport which spills out in to the audience.

Roy Clinging

Roy Clinging brings his skill as a fine concertina player and singer. He can move effortlessly from a traditional ballad to a shanty or a music hall ditty. His programme is peppered with songs from his beloved Cheshire and his self-penned songs sit comfortably alongside the genre and are being picked up and sung by lots of other artists. Roy is well used to the ways of the club so bring your chorus voices.
