We’re looking forward to welcoming local singers Paul Gill, John and Pauline Pearce, and Adam Clark to contribute extended spots at a Norwich Folk Club song session from 7 pm on Friday 14 August. There will also be spots for other local singers during the evening.
Suffolk-based Paul Gill enjoys the challenge of singing unaccompanied with narrative focus and tonal control ‘so simple-seeming and yet profound’.
Paul’s digital album ‘Rigs of the Time’ focuses on unaccompanied traditional folk songs, especially from Norfolk and Suffolk sources.
Originally from Surrey and the Mersey, John and Pauline Pearce are now based in East Anglia. They enjoy writing songs based in real events, telling stories of real people and places. Inspiration for their tunes often comes from British or American traditional music.
Musician and singer Adam Clark grew up in a musical family. He has enjoyed performing, recording and writing with various bands in many international genres. These days, as a solo artist, his focus is on folk music that originates closer to home.
Adam is interested in the ways that music, people and place intertwine in music that explores themes of our relationship to the natural world, our land and each other – traditional British and Irish songs and tunes that continue to speak to generation after generation.
The evening begins at 7 pm. Entry is free, but we appreciate cash contributions of £5 towards our costs. It would also be helpful if you could let us know that you are planning to come along, to give an idea of numbers – see our future events page for contact details. Bring your own drinks. Teas and coffee available in the kitchen, 50p.
