*************************************************
FRIDAY 15th JULY
BARTRAM, BROOKES &
WEATHERALL
English songs and tunes
from Shropshire. Lavish praise from fellow musicians ! -
Chris Bartram is "one of the few people today who can sing
the old songs in a way which is utterly convincing." Rod Stradling "Chris's singing is stylish and
compelling whether unaccompanied or with the wonderfully-crafted accompaniments
by Neil and Tony." Mary
Humphreys "On their album of Shropshire tunes The
Whitchurch Hornpipe, Neil Brookes (fiddle) and Tony Weatherall (melodeon)
showed that they are absolute masters of playing English dance tunes. New Midsummer's Day has an even wider appeal now they have linked up
with the delightful singer Chris Bartram
who has that very pleasing, engaging way of singing that makes every
song that he sings a delight." Vic Smith
With The Pigeons : Paul Gross, Paul Quarry, Sarah Crofts
