HELL SAID THE DUCHESS
Crowhurst Park
As part of there British tour
accordion trio Hell Said the Duchess arrives
at Mrs Yarringtons Music Club on 1st March, featuring Karen Tweed with Hannah
James & Becky Price they present an elegant, eccentric and effervescent
concoction of traditional and original music, bringing together their various
influences for a Grand Girls’ Night In, featuring dance music and airs from
Ireland , France , Scandinavia and 18thC England , plus songs and dances from
the Northern English repertoire performed by clog-stepping virtuoso Hannah.
Karen Tweed, once a teacher at Bexhill High and with many local
friends, is now highly respected and almost iconic on the folk circuit,
formed this accordion trio in 2009 for a one-off show and enjoyed it so much,
they decided to do some more, not least for the chance to wear lovely frocks
and prove that the accordion can be a highly expressive instrument, capable
of great beauty and subtlety and not just a large noisy box designed to drown
out bagpipes; although that can be useful sometimes!
Hell Said the Duchess have been whirling around the UK bringing their
beautiful and wacky arrangements to a host of intimate venues.
Tickets available form www.mrsyarringtons.me.uk

Sunday 6th March
Sarah McQuaid
Sarah is a versatile and beguiling
performer of her own elegantly crafted originals, traditional Irish and
Appalachian folk songs, Elizabethan ballads, 1930s jazz numbers, surprise
covers and lively guitar instrumentals with panache and poignance.
Her deliciously earthy voice delivers a powerful emotional punch that’s
matched by her distinctive, eloquent guitar style. Add this to a real rapport
with her audience, and you have all the ingredients of a great night out.
Born in Madrid and raised in Chicago, Sarah lived in Ireland for 14 years
before moving to Cornwall in 2007. Despite having only been touring as a solo
artist for three years, she’s in high demand on the international folk
circuit, thanks chiefly to her warm and engaging live performances. www.sarahmcquaid.com
Admission £5, members £3, under 18s free.
Sunday 13th March
Gren Bartley
Gren explores the whole range from
traditional English songs to the darkest American blues ballads. Add to this
his impressive songwriting and you will find an artist that is sure to be an
important contributor to the roots scene for many years to come. Gren's live
act is his strongest asset as he believes that the stage is where "real
music happens". His guitar playing is effortless and his lyrics, delivered
in his gently compelling voice, sweep audiences through the spectrum of
musical landscapes he visits. He has an extraordinarily wide repertoire of
both original and traditional songs. He has toured all over the UK and is
quickly building a core of fans wherever he goes.
Admission £5, members £3, under 18s free.
Sunday 20th March
Lynne Heraud & Pat Turner
Lynne & Pat are two of the
most experienced and established harmony singers on the folk scene and we are
glad to welcome them back to Horsham. They lean towards traditional
English material, but also perform their own material and Victorian/Edwardian
songs. Their interpretation of both contemporary and traditional material is
sensitive, moving and has plenty of humour. Lynne and Pat offer a wide range
of musical material, ranging from traditional, Victorian and Edwardian to
contemporary, rude, silly and self-penned, all delivered with their unique
blend of harmony and humour www.lynneandpat.co.uk/
Admission £5, members £3, under 18s free.
Sunday 27th March
Open Floor
A chance to have a go with a song,
a tune, a poem or a silly dance in a relaxed, friendly but irreverent
atmosphere. No going up to a microphone - just do your thing from where
you are and you don't even need to stick to folk. These nights are
always popular.
Admission £2, members £1, under 18s free.
