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

   FRIDAY 28th OCTOBER JIMMY CROWLEY

Known as the "Voice of Cork", legendary singer / musician Jimmy Crowley has been a central figure in the Irish folk scene since the enthusiastic reception of "The Boys of Fairhill", the debut album of his band Stoker's Lodge in 1977. Since then Jimmy has been travelling the world as a professional musician. No-one sounds like Jimmy, and few can match him for the humour, joy, tenderness and sheer storytelling craft which he brings to his repertoire of songs.  Now available Cork Urban Ballads, a unique compendium  of songs from oral tradition collected by Jimmy since the late sixties. http://www.shamrockirishmusic.org/id36.html We are pleased to present this event in association with RETURN TO CAMDEN www.returntocamden.org Adm. tonight ?10/concs. ?8 (mems. ?8/concs ?6)  Available on the door or from  https://www.wegottickets.com/event/375306 or 375307

FRIDAY 11th NOVEMBER   PETA WEBB and PETE COOPER

( well known duo in the '80s) play a rare gig to celebrate Peta's 70th Birthday. "Peta & Pete sing with power and passion. Peta is admired for her ability to put across the emotional heart of a song and Pete for his brilliant and versatile fiddle playing . Brought together by their shared love of Appalachian and Irish music, their 1986 LP The Heart is True explores the continuity of these traditions," Keith Summers.  "A winning combination of two strong voices and twin fiddles," Maggie Holland, fRoots.  "Tough, straightforward, gutsy and human", Folk On Tap.   When Peta and Pete get together on special occasions the power and passion is still there ! www.petecooper.com
