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)
