Floor Singers booked to perform on the night …
Dave Fry
Dave started by playing a Chad Valley tin banjo, when he was 10 years old, till he blistered his thumb and he was hooked! He bought his first home-made guitar at twelve. He played in beat groups in Cumbria in the swinging 60s, then found folk at 17. He fell in love with twelve-string guitar at 18 and has been playing one ever since.
Dave will be the MC on the night.
Pete McParland
Pete performs regularly, and with acclaim, at numerous folk clubs in the Midlands. Songs from the 60s and 70s are his forte, but he wanders into other areas, too, with great success.
Malc and Gill
As a duo, Malc & Gill, not surprisingly with their backgrounds, have a wide diversity of material, both traditionally and contemporary based, and ranging from clever harmony work to humour and even a serious ballad or two, performed either a-capella or with Malc’s pleasantly understated guitar accompaniment.
Chris Marklew
Long-time singer and club organiser, Chris is based in Redditch. Ran a Tamworth based club in the 70s.
He is a Bert Jansch style guitarist.
Urban Fox
A folk trio comprised of 12 & 6 string acoustic guitars, two fiddles, whistle and cittern as well as 3 part harmony.
After The Flood
Folk duo with Corinne Lucy and Woolford Scott.
Your hosts for the Summer Singers Night are Dave Fry and Pete McParland
… and there are still floor-spots available!
