Dick Miles on Friday 12 April

Concertina performer Dick Miles has been singing and playing traditional music since he was 13. He lived for many years in Suffolk and some of his favourite songs are based on the superb traditional tales of East Anglia. Now living in the South-West of Ireland, Dick finds himself incorporating the local traditional music style into his own.

During the last 30 years, Dick has been singing at maritime festivals, folk festivals and clubs all over the British and Irish Islands. He has also written two concertina tutors, one of which is on song accompaniment.

Tickets £11 (£8 club members) can be reserved by emailing via our contact page. Bring your own drinks. Teas and coffee available in the kitchen.

 

Showcase guests Sound Tradition on Friday 22 March

The special showcase guests at the song session on Friday 22 March will be Sound Tradition, an a cappella folk foursome (David, Linda, Catherine and Moose) singing in glorious harmony. Their varied repertoire ranges from lively chorus songs to lilting ballads, and from medieval times to the modern day, but always with an ear for the English folk tradition.

The quartet have proudly supported such luminaries as Martin Carthy, Dave Swarbrick, Chris Wood and Roy Bailey, but also enjoy the main stage in their own right. Hailing from East Anglia, Sound Tradition is building a reputation that has garnered bookings at clubs and festivals across the country. Powerful and rousing traditional songs with lovely harmonies. Go and see them!Pete Morton

This is a free event. Bring instruments and voices, and your own drinks. Teas and coffees available in the kitchen.
