FRIDAY  13th JUNE   JEFF WARNER

One of America's foremost performers of traditional music.  Songs from the lumber camps, fishing villages and mountain tops of the Eastern seaboard, many from the collection of his parents Anne and Frank Warner.             "Jeff's one of the most welcome of the visitors to these shores from the US, and his gigs are always eagerly awaited  by those in the know. Quite simply, he's one of the most charismatic, enthusiastic and genuinely versatile performers on the whole scene, with a warm and approachable personality to match his encyclopaedic knowledge of traditional song."?David Kidman, Netrhythms (UK)
