More Folk Stuff at Lingfield
VSSC
Victoria Sports and Social Club, 84 High Street, Lingfield,
Surrey, RH7 6AA
Friday
27 October - Paul
Downes. Paul's
sensitive and yet fun approach to his live performances puts him
among the most respected artists on the British acoustic music
scene today. He's been introduced (much to his embarrassment) as
one of the greatest acoustic guitarists in the world. It is easy
to see why when you see the dazzling array of styles he performs
with effortless brilliance, but he considers himself a singer of
songs, rather than a guitar technician. Paul has a rich musical
background that has progressed through working with Phil Beer, The Arizona Smoke
Revue, Pete Seeger and,
currently, The
Joyce Gang. Paul Downes Web Site YouTube Performance
Friday
17 November - Sloe
Gin. Sloe Gin

traditions, their accomplished musicianship and strong
vocals deliver a dynamic and lively sound... all the ingredients
you need for an entertaining night out. Sloe Gin Web Site

the London cabaret venues . He and performed his One Man
Show in Hong Kong, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and
Botswana as well as the UK. With the advent of the Hot Rats
in 1992, further tours to Russia, Europe and Australia emerged.
Doug is also currently the musical director of Rochester Sweeps
Festival.
Ian started playing at the age of 7,
classically to start with, then going on to play folk
music. He joined a band called "Hockett", which in
1972, played the music for the cult film "The Wicker
