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)
with Roger Digby (anglo concertina) and Liz
Giddings (fiddle)
New CD out The
Passing Moment ."This music is inspired by
traditional players, it shines like a lovingly polished old wooden
chair which remains fit for purpose through the centuries. No flash,
no fancy arrangements, simply lovely musical playing which inspires you to
dance or just sit and enjoy." Peta
Webb

You missed: FRI
30th MAY- SUN 1st JUNE 2014 10th KEITH SUMMERS GATHERING at which the 3rd & 4th volumes of
Keith's 1980s Fermanagh recordings were launched by Paul Marsh (compiler) and
Rod Stradling (Musical Traditions Records).
We had a weekend of great music and brilliant moments
in an informal pub setting, just as Keith would have wanted it. Keith died
in 2004 leaving a bequest with the instructions to "put on a festival that I
would have enjoyed". ******************************************************************************************************
About our Guests : We are
pleased to welcome for the first time Rita

cherished collection of Donegal songs, many from the Tunney family. Many times
a Fleadh winner, Rita loves joining in song and music sessions. Grace Toland, a singer of great
individual style, specialises in continuing the rich song repertoire of
Clonmany,
We are lucky to
know so many excellent musicians who regularly play as RESIDENT BANDS at the Musical Traditions

Liz Giddings. *********************************************************
**********************************************
KEITH SUMMERS is fondly remembered by many of us here as a good old
boy who loved the excitement of a traditional singing and music session.
Although he never regarded himself as a folk song collector, since his untimely
death in 2004 the importance of his work has increasingly been
recognised. Keith's extensive recordings from 1971-1990 (transferred
to 60 CDs) are housed in The British Library Sound Archive and are now
available digitally. http://sounds.bl.uk/World-and-traditional-music/Keith-Summers-Collection See Andrew King's article in Folk Music Journal (FMJ) Vol. 9 (3),
2008. There is also a set in the EFDSS Sound Library at Cecil Sharp
House, now fully indexed by Martin Nail for easy access and also integrated in
the Roud Index.
Many of Keith's
recordings are available on CD: A
Story to Tell: Keith Summers in
Good
Hearted Fellows: Traditional Folk Songs, Music Hall Songs and Tunes from
Suffolk, 1971- 77 on
John Howson's Veteran label,VT154CD,2006 www.veteran.co.uk

handout plus this appreciation by Paul Marsh http://www.mustrad.org.uk/ks_obit.htm and
