Programme

We regret that owing to loss of venue all further 2008 events have been cancelled. The club relaunches in our new venue mid-January - see you there!

(All days are Mondays unless otherwise stated.)

19 Jan 09	Liz Randall & Mick Lynn Stalwarts of the local scene with a wealth of English traditional songs, Liz and Mick combine to bring an evening to savour. As many different instruments as can be squeezed and carried. Two fine voices presenting an eclectic variety of byways and heritage.
2 Feb 09	Musicians' and Singers' night - audience welcome (free admission)
16 Feb 09	John & Di Cullen We've tempted them out again from the Beacon with their delicious mix of guitar, bowed psaltery and harmony vocals. On the menu are ballads, wit and flying fingers, so book your table now! No jacket required...
2 Mar 09	Musicians' and Singers' night - featuring John Hills & Iris Bishop (from Elsie's Band). John, a singer, song-writer and string musician is joined by Iris, a superb concertina and accordion player.
16 Mar 09	Mike Nicholson Much-loved Sussex singer with a vocal range deeper than Amberley Chalk Pits. Mike has a warm way with contemporary folk song which keeps the rafters ringing.
6 Apr 09	Musicians' and Singers' night - audience welcome (free admission)
20 Apr 09	Derek Gifford Widely known as a purveyor of song from ornithological airs to stormbattling shanties, Derek is a versatile entertainer whose rapport with the audience is not to be missed. Catch him while you can, before he hauls back up the M6...
18 May 09	Wholehearted John Bartlett and Pete Luscombe from Hampshire have a fine reputation for performing traditionally-flavoured original material - some of the strongest choruses ever to hit the Neptune contrasted with songs which make you sit up and listen. Great evening last time, sure to be popular.
1 Jun 09	Musicians' and Singers' night - audience welcome (free admission)
15 Jun 09	Will Duke and Dan Quinn Nationally renowned traditional singers and outstanding musicians on various button instruments.

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.)
