Dan McKinnon makes his first visit to the Diamond. No stranger to the UK folk clubs Dan has toured here extensively from Nova Scotia. Expect songs of the land and the sea, some of which he has written himself, as well as songs of other Canadians writers like Stan Rogers. A warm rich voice ably accompanied on guitar.
You’ll get plenty of opportunities to join in the choruses.
A night at the Music Hall is right up our street. It is great to have Dave Sealey back at the club who, along with his son Dan and Adam Barry, have dusted off Dave and Al’s repertoire and breathe new life in to the old songs. Get here early as we know they are very popular. Bring your voices they will do the rest.
We welcome back Rosie, Who has escaped from the Dovetail Trio to do a solo evening for us. Rosie hails from Wiltshire and her love of the area and its people are reflected in many of the songs that she sings. A fine interpreter of traditional song, all performed by a mature and strikingly beautiful voice.

Jude Rees, Oboe, Vocals, Woodwind ,TomKitching, Fiddle Mandolins, Jon Loomes, Cittern , Hurdy Gurdy, Concertina. With a line up like that you can expect anything and everything. The answer to your question is I don’t know where they are going to put all the instruments either?
Don’t forget to come early as our new start time will be 8pm.
Robin Laing is making a very rare visit to the Midlands from his beloved Scotland. He has an enviable reputation for his knowledge of whisky both in song and story but there is a lot more to him than that. He can make a song his own whether it is from the Scots tradition or a more contemporary source. You feel he is singing a song just for you and is at home in a club setting. We are lucky to get him so be early.
