4TH ? VIN GARBUTT - CLUB?S 43RD BIRTHDAY
(http://www.vingarbutt.com/)
We hope that you can join us on this very
special evening, which will mark 43 wonderful years of live acoustic music at
the Club. Vin Garbutt, one of the most
sought after performers on the folk scene, will be there to help us celebrate. Vin discovered folk music while still at
school and, at the age of 21, threw caution to the winds and became a
professional musician. Early on, he
established himself as a singer and songwriter of fine socially conscious, and
environmentally aware songs and is renowned for his intertwining of
anecdotes. He is a real must see!
