Jess and Richard Arrowsmith - 30th June
It is a real pleasure to welcome this delightful duo to Wessex
Acoustic for the first time.
Jess and
Richard Arrowsmith are singers and musicians
(fiddle & melodeon) and well established in the traditional
English music scene. They bring you powerful vocals, subtle
accompaniments, lively tunes and a broad range of material that
will have you laughing, weeping, tapping your feet and joining in
the choruses. Jess's self-penned songs have been performed, and
recorded, by a range of other artists and are entering the
tradition in their own right. Jess & Richard's latest project
in conjunction with James Fagan & Nancy Kerr as the Melrose
Quartet has earned them a nomination for "Best Group" at the 2014
BBC Folk Awards. Other projects include Hekety, Glorystrokes,
Crucible and Pecsaetan.
Supporting
Jess and Richard we are delighted to introduce to you Anne-Louise Richards,
a local north Dorset girl, based in Shaftesbury. She has always had
a love of music and is a classically trained singer, but grew a
love for folk and traditional music in her teens. Anne-Louise
particularly loves the storytelling element of so many folk songs and
hopes to entertain you with her favourites.

We are all very sad to have lost our dear friend and favourite
performer Vin Garbutt recently. The observant amongst you will have
spotted that we had Vin booked to appear at the club on March 2nd
2018. We had much discussion about that date and felt it highly
appropriate to change it to a special patrons night featuring PJ Wright and Guy
Fletcher with support from our own Andy Stone.
We will raise a glass to Vin on that night. More details will
follow nearer the time.
Remember that the upcoming concert with the Arrowsmiths on 30th
June is the last one of the season so make sure you make the most
of this opportunity.
We will be taking a break through July and August so we can get
away to Folk Festivals and enjoy our favourite artistes, along with
'window shopping' for new-to-us acts. We hope you will be doing
the same so keep your eyes open for us in off-duty mode -
just head to the bar to find John!
Hope to see you on 30th June and back on 1st September with Charlie
Dore & Julian Littman.
