FRIDAY
28th OCTOBER JIMMY
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.

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
