SUMMER 2016

*****************************************************

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
