Subject: [SCoFFnews] Hants songs
at Petersfield 18 Sept
A unique concert of our
wonderful heritage of Hampshire traditional songs will take place on Saturday
18th September at 8pm:
HAMPSHIRE SONGS CONCERT at Petersfield Community Centre, Love
Lane GU31 4BW.
Pitchpole Jack and guests, and Tangle and Anne
Winter.
The concert will feature a variety of songs collected from all over
Hampshire, but focusing on Petersfield and the surrounding area. Many of
the songs were collected by George Gardiner 100 years ago. More recently,
Gwilym Davies, of Pitchpole Jack, tape-recorded local singers, so we
will also hear some of those songs in their home area again. Among the
guests, we should hear a song from a descendant of a local traditional singer,
a rare appearance of Paul Marsh of Forest Tracks and step dancing from
Simon Harmer. It will be a unique concert featuring a variety of
songs from a range of artists. Pitchpole Jack are a three-piece
band who sing and play various instruments including fiddle and
melodeon. Tangle are a couple who sing and accompany
themselves on guitar and keyboard. Anne Winter has a beautiful
voice and sings unaccompanied like the singers of the old days.
Gwilym Davies will be launching his new book A Hampshire Collection at
the Concert. It contains words and music to songs he collected locally in
Hampshire.
Tickets for the concert are on sale at the One Tree Bookshop, Lavant
Street, Petersfield. They will also be sale from 7.30 on the door at the
Community Centre: email
bob_askew_at_hotmail_dot_co_dot_uk if you want to reserve a
ticket.
View these details on
the web , where there is also a pdf-format
poster for download - please
