MUSICAL TRADITIONS CLUB AUTUMN 2017 plus Tom Paley RIP
Hi Members and Friends,
Sad news that Tom Paley died on 30th September 2017, aged 89. A
familiar figure with his fiddle at "his" table at The
King & Queen, he will be much missed.Tom was an internationally
renowned performer of American old-time music (see Guardian obituary).His life
will be celebrated on Tuesday 24th October at Golders Green Crematorium, 3pm
and afterwards at Cecil Sharp House 5 - 7.30pm.
Meanwhile, the music continues.
Hope to see you at our great Autumn dates.
All the best,
Peta &
Ken
