WESSEX ACOUSTIC

 

Last week we were royally entertained by the astounding Lucy Ward, along with PJ Wright and Guy Fletcher. Lucy was simply wonderful, keeping us spell bound with her powerful performance and rolling in the aisles with her humour. If you couldn't make it to this concert, you MUST come and see her next time she returns to the club. It was lovely to see a good crowd enjoying themselves so much. Thank you to all who came.

 

The next concert looming on the horizon is yet another evening of delicious music on Friday 17th April at 8.15pm featuring Two Coats Colder, the Essex band that wowed everyone when they performed at the club on a showcase night a little while ago.

Ray's song  writing and performing skills come to the fore, along with Anna's sweet voice, David's amazing mandolin playing, and Chris's trusty guitar playing.

Their freshly released CD,  Unseen Highways, is receiving rave reviews everywhere.

 

"That was one of the best Milkmaid nights we've had for a long time. The atmosphere was amazing, the audience singing incredible and you four were superb" Terry Walden Milkmaid folk club (2015)

 

"Pure, Honest, Beautiful Folk Music": Robin Mansfield, Cambridge Folk Club.

 

"I love how you manage to blend traditional sounding folk with new and exciting melodies and I really love the clarity of your vocals and the high quality music you make."  Chris Brown Radio Wimborne (2015)

 

"UNSEEN HIGHWAY is an excellent piece of work, an honour to play it on my folk show "  Andy Bassett-Scott   Island Folk (2015)

 

"Unseen Highway is a brilliant album. It's one of those albums that transcends both traditional and modern folk music. The musicianship is first class and Anna has one of those voices that stay with you long after listening to it."  Colin Smith WFM 97.2 (2015)
