Sunday 11th March Wendy Arrowsmith  
www.wendyarrowsmith.com
Born and raised in the suburbs of Glasgow, Wendy has been singing for as long as she can remember. Her musical influences as a child were mostly Trad Jazz or Church hymns! Although she learnt Burns and other traditional Scottish songs at school, it wasn?t until she moved to England to marry that she began to delve deeply into traditional folk music.
In just over two years performing on the folk music scene, Wendy has delighted audiences across the UK from as far a field as Aberdeen to Kent. She is not only recognised for her fine interpretations of traditional songs but also for her own award-winning song-writing. Wendy accompanies herself mainly on guitar, and also plays accordion, mandolin, whistles and bodhran although she really sees herself as "a singer who plays some other instruments!"     
Admission ?5 (members ?3) Under 21s free.


Sunday 18th March   Dave Webber & Anni Fentiman
www.oldandnewtradition.com/daveandanni/
Dave and Anni made their duo debut on stage at the Eisteddfod Festival in Dartmouth Massachusetts in 1993 to begin a very successful career as a harmony duo, working largely acapella and featuring mainly traditional and traditional idiom material. They have worked extensively in the UK and the USA to much acclaim and now have five albums of their own to set alongside the Beggars Velvet recording, which is still in demand after many pressings.
As well as touring concert venues, clubs and festivals Dave and Anni have also been involved in a number of special musical and dramatic productions on both sides of the Atlantic. They toured provincial theatres in England in 96/97 taking substantial singing and acting roles in the stage musical "The Widows Uniform" a fully dramatised production of Rudyard Kipling's Barrack Room Ballads. And more recently, in the USA, they took the parts of Henry and Susannah in Peter Bellamy's Ballad opera "The Transports".
Dave and Anni have featured on both local and national radio in Britain and also performed a live concert (with studio audience) for Radio WGBH in Boston, USA.
Although Dave and Anni perform substantially at home in the UK they also make at least one trip each year to the United States, where they have an established following and have also performed in Holland, Denmark and Finland.
Anni has developed a specialist repertoire of songs originating from her native North East, and Dave has been writing songs in traditional vein since 1982 many of these are widely sung and have become part of the general song repertoire of singers all over the world. Dave Webber has that rare gift of writing songs that sound traditiona
