💥💥*** Darlington Folk & Acoustic Club has been made an offer by the Manchester Camerata.  They are coming to Darlington Hippodrome on Monday 25th November to do a folk-inspired concert, and they have asked if they could offer a workshop to local folk musicians working on performance skills.  This would be on the morning of Saturday 23rd November at the Forum Music Centre in Darlington. 

The Monday concert is led by violinist Donald Grant and his band.  Their performance of 'The Night Overtook Us' explores Scottish folk music and a new piece by Donald, bringing his band and Manchester Camerata together for what promises to be a wonderful evening of music.https://www.darlingtonhippodrome.co.uk/whats-on/Manchester-Camerata-The-Night-Overtook-Us,  For the Saturday workshop, Donald and the group are seeking up to 30 local performers.  They need to charge a fee for the workshop and have proposed £15, but that includes (I think) free entry to the Monday concert. If you are interested in this, please contact Simon Nicholson (snicholson13P@gmail.com) or talk to him at the Rolling Mills this Thursday 10th October, or on the Singaround on the 24th October. **** 💥💥

DECEMBER 12th

DARLINGTON FOLK ACOUSTIC CLUB

PRELUDE

7.30pm

Rolling Mills Club, Longfield Road DL3 0HX 


PRELUDE, originally a folk trio formed by Brian Hume with his wife Irene and fellow guitarist/vocalist Ian Vardy was formed in Gateshead in 1970.


Fans will recall their inspired a cappella version of After the Goldrush, which was a worldwide success in the mid- 1970s, and they toured with Ralph McTell, Don McLean and Joan Armatrading.


The group, now a quartet, has been compared favourably with Fleetwood Mac..

BELLA GAFFNEY

7.30pm

Rolling Mills Club, Longfield Road DL3 0HX 


SBella Gaffney is a British singer-songwriter, guitar and banjo player who has established herself as a prominent figure in the folk music scene. Born and raised in Bradford in West Yorkshire, Bella's love for music began at a young age, when she would visit her local folk club, The Topic.


Bella's music is characterised by her  distinctive voice, intricate guitar playing, and her knack for storytelling. She draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, including her own life experiences, the natural world, and the rich history of folk music. 


"One of those effervescent albums you’d be happy to recommend to people who might not consider themselves folk fans" - The Sunday Times

Evening starts with floor spots from our club singers before Janice and Jan perform 


Janice Burns & Jon Doran are an award-winning Anglo-Scottish duo who came together after discovering a shared love of traditional music and songs that tell vivid stories about the nature of life and our place in the world.

 

Janice & Jon’s ‘clever and uncluttered musical storytelling’ [Songlines] comes alive through tight vocal harmonies and sensitive interplay between mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar. Their arrangements have a spellbinding presence and an understated energy that transports their songs from the pages of books and manuscripts into the imagination of the listener.

Martyn Wyndham-Read grew up on a Sussex farm. He heard the village blacksmith singing local songs. He later formed a skiffle band with fellow villagers, he "learnt to play guitar and belted out Lonnie Donegan-like versions of 'Down by the Riverside' and other American Negro songs." 


In 1958 he moved from Sussex to Australia where he worked on Emu Springs sheep station, near Burra, South Australia. There he heard, first hand, the old folks songs sung by station hands and was captivated by these.

Fiddle player and singer Tom McConville always attracts a good audience at the Cutty Wren. This time he's joined by Andy Watt on guitar.
Renowned for his musical accompaniments, Tom has played on hundreds of albums. The list includes: Barbara Dickson, Richard Thompson, Allan Taylor and Lindisfarne. Whilst he has shared stages throughout the world with Stephan Grappelli, Sean McGuire, Mark O’Connor, Paul Brady and The Chieftains, Tom has never forgotten his roots and is as happy in the intimate atmosphere of a small folk club as he is at the largest festivals. Tom McConville is a world class act!
"One of the greatest violinists I've ever heard and by far the biggest influence in my music - A true master". Seth Lakeman.

JEZ LOWE

7.30pm

Rolling Mills Club, Longfield Road DL3 0HX 


A double nomination in the 2015 BBC Folk Awards – for best singer and best new song – was a timely reminder of Jez Lowe’s standing in the UK folk and acoustic music scene. Not only he is one of the busiest live performers in the country, but his songs are among the most widely sung by other performers, whether by long-established acts like Fairport Convention, The Dubliners and Bob Fox, or by the new breed of stars like The Unthanks, The Young Uns, Megson and The Duhks.


Jez’s own long-established band The Bad Pennies (featuring Kate Bramley, Andy May and David De La Haye) continue to attract a huge following, and his other collaborations with The Pitmen Poets (with Billy Mitchell, Bob Fox and Benny Graham), The Broonzies (alongside fellow-veterans Maggie Holland, Chris Parkinson and Roger Wilson), Men at Words (with James Keelaghan and Archie Fisher) and with fellow-songwriter Steve Tilston, show a willingness to push boundaries and venture boldly into pastures new.

REG MEUROSS (£10) Click the ticket Icon

Redcar Bowling Club, 1 Thwaites Lane, Redcar TS10 2FD *☎️ 01642- 471769  📨 info@cuttywrenfolkclub.com  


The evening begins with floor spots from a few of our Club regulars 

The breadth and depth of Reg's material is unparalleled in contemporary folk: songs about forgotten heroes, famous names, folk legends, the climate emergency, tales from the kitchen sink and news from the world stage; if something needs to be sung about then Reg Meuross has a song for it.


Mark Radcliffe introduced Reg Meuross onto the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show as a “brilliant singer-songwriter and true troubadour with a social conscience”. And it’s not all protest, as well as story songs which bring characters from history to life and comment on life around him Reg also writes and sings some of the most heart-aching love songs ever written, performed with depth and spellbinding delivery. Reg has that rare gift of being able to touch people through his songs and performance, on a really human level, his words and music painting pictures that remain with the listener long after the song has been sung, accompanying himself masterfully on guitar and captivating audiences with his beautiful tenor voice.

Other Roads are one of the finest contemporary folk bands to emerge in recent years. Based in the UK, they also tour regularly in Holland, Germany, Denmark, Spain and New Zealand, and continue to gain popularity in new countries across the globe.

Pete Abbott, Gregor Borland and Dave Walmisley draw upon their diverse backgrounds in Scotland, England and Africa to create an exciting and original sound. These talented multi-instrumentalists incorporate fiddle, bouzouki, guitars and mandolin with some very fine harmony singing.

With 9 albums to their credit and more to come, their ardent and faithful followers remain enthusiastically loyal and true.

Their music is an eclectic mix of traditional, contemporary and mostly original compositions, ranging from soft lilting ballads to foot-stomping Celtic fiddle tunes and choruses. With expert musicianship, infectious enthusiasm and a touch of humour, their polished performances are highly entertaining and extremely popular.

Redcar Bowling Club, 1 Thwaites Lane, Redcar TS10 2FD *☎️ 01642- 471769  📨 info@cuttywrenfolkclub.com  


Evenings starts with floor spots from Club regulars.

 

Fil and Tom combine vocals, guitar and percussion with a mix of original, contemporary and traditional songs, lots of choruses and the Irish gift of chat and craic. They have become known for their original songs with a quirky look at life.

A night at one of their concerts will send you home with a smile on your face, having sung your heart out for the evening and laughed at the ridiculous stories they pick up along the road, while their sensitive take on life going on around us at the moment will send you home thinking.
