| 20 July 09 |
Sandy
Brechin and Ewan Wilkinson
Currently touring south of the Border. Sandy’s superb accordion
playing combines with Ewan’s excellent guitar playing and singing
in a mix of traditional and contemporary folk music. |

Alan Austen
A mix of traditional and self-penned songs, accompanied by a variety of
instruments. A local man from East Malling, Alan has many times visited
the club, and never failed to entertain.

The Kittiwakes
Kate Denny (violin/vocal), Chris Harrison (accordion) and Jill Cumberbatch
(violin/mandolin/banjo). Haunting original songs based on the culture
of the Lofoten Islands (Norway) which will, however, strike a chord with
lovers of British folk music. Something different! |

The Askew Sisters
Emily: Fiddle, backing vocals & cello; Hazel: Vocals & melodeon.
Exciting renditions of traditional music from the talented young duo that
everyone is talking about. |
A hat collection is held on guest nights. A contribution of £5 (or
what you can afford) is suggested. (Note: No meetings first Monday in May, third
Monday in August or first Monday in October because of clashing with local folk
festivals.)
In the old venue with its size limitations, there were serious doubts about
the long term viability of the club. However since we moved from the Ivy House
to the Rose and Crown, we have been very gratified by the level of support we
have received. This is the reason that we have graduated to the larger room
for our guest nights in order to avoid overcrowding. Whilst we realise it lacks
the intimacy of the smaller room, it is an obvious response to the growth of
the club. If you continue to support us in increasing numbers it does give us
the confidence to book the sort of guests you would like to hear.
