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
