Friday
18th May
Sara Grey
and Kieron Means
New Englander Sara is a remarkable singer
of the old ballads, prefacing the songs with fascinating background stories.
Her distinctive frailing style on the banjo shows just how this instrument
should be played. Kieron,
Sara's son, a brilliant guitar player, has a strikingly individual sound.His
material draws from the deepest wellsprings of North American culture and the
work of latter-day songwriters steeped in the old traditions. Both
perform with rare passion and enthusiasm
