his loves - American music - plus the usual mix of Irish and English
guests.
Also we hope that many of our previous guests will join us again, along

style, renowned both for his technical virtuosity and his great feeling for the
old style music.

of his songs were learned, he later added Gaelic songs from the

singer in both English and Irish.
Friday 4th July
Dearman, Gammon & Harrison
Annie Dearman, Vic Gammon and Steve Harrison perform English
traditional songs and tunes in a robust and firmly rooted English style,
accompanied on various squeezeboxes, banjo and mouthorgan. Their repertory comes
from traditional singers and instrumentalists; from folk song collectors
of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; from manuscript tune and
song books , ballad sheets and songs they just happen to hear and
like.
Their CD Black Crow, White Crow (EFDSS CD11) has had great
reviews.
