 Forthcoming Events 2005

Claude Bourbon
Thursday May 5th
Claude's roots were in the Blues but that is like saying Leonardo de Vinci
was a painter. Inspired by music from around the world including Spanish,
Middle Eastern, Russian and Europe. He takes these sounds and weaves them
into songs and melodies that may be Blues but can be ballads, rock, jazz
or pieces that cannot be labelled.

Emily Druce & Steve Jones
Thursday June 2nd
Acoustic blues played to a fantastically high standard. Emily Druce &
Steve Jones' roots style blues playing is a seriously classy bit of finger
picking quality, with wonderful slide to go? every note, every overtone
and, of course Emily's voice, is a treat to be savoured.

Anthony John Clarke
Saturday July 2nd
One of the most interesting songwriters around at the moment. He has
penned songs which are socially aware and of the moment and he performs
them excellently.

Mundy-Turner
Thursday July 14th
An internationally-touring acoustic, original song writing duo based in
Brisbane, Australia. Jay is a versatile acoustic guitarist, alternately
driving and delicate. Cath plays lyrical violin and piano in a cross
between classical, folk and rock styles. Together their live performances
are characterised by strong original material, intricate harmonies,
humorous story-telling and powerful arrangements.

Rod Clements
Thursday August 4th
At 21 Rod Clements was a founder member of Lindisfarne, playing bass,
slide and fiddle. As the writer of "Meet Me On The Corner" Rod not only
supplied the band with its first top 5 hit, but also gave British folk
music one of its true enduring anthems.

Nancy Kerr & James Fagan

warmth and stage presence.

 Mel McLellan BBC Radio Two Folk and Acoustic Website

Les Barker
Thursday December 1st
Les hails from Manchester and is on his own admission a 'professional
idiot'. He writes books (64 of them to be exact) featuring such colourful
characters as Jason and the Arguments and Cosmo the Fairly Accurate Knife
Thrower. He is simply brilliant!

Oh, and Hi there to Edith and Ally

Morning Gnome,

Thank you and the same to you. Bout time you came out of the wood-work :0)
Lots of info there. I'll just go see if my canoe is still
log-tight-water-proof  and pop in every Thursday during the rest of the
year.Will they let a woman in with muscles like Popeye the sailor man? I
don't have a beard. Honest.
Well, just a little one considering.

Edith

ps. Hey, Ally. It's our Pete out and about again.

Aha! Nice to see you, Pete. Wish I had time to nip down Ulverston way. Lots
of good stuff on.  Oh well, I'm still recovering from the Georgian fair....

Hope the fair went OK, I'm doing a rent-a-yokel thing at Bowness on
Sunday, but I don't need to get dressed up 'cause I always look like a
yokel! Just as a matter of interest which newsgroups have you posted
events to in the past, I've done this one and uk.music.folk, do you think
there are any other relevant ones that we can use to publicise the gigs?

Pete

Well I'll let you have some of my beard if you'd like, although it's even
more grey than it was when we last met. Which leads me nicely into: The
picture that Orly took of you, Sam and I at Brantwood now has pride of
place on the window cill, it's one of the few I have of Sam in his normal
mode (being a right pain in the butt, tugging someones arm off with a
stick). As to the music, we do have some really great acts on and all
credit goes to the hard work of SLMP who organize it.
This must be some sort of record. More than two posts in a year.

Pete

That's about all I do, too. There should be others, shouldn't there?

I'm on your window sill with Sam and yourself. I consider that an
honour-thank you very much Pete. As for your beard, eeeerm, no thank
you.It's probably full of fleas and egg and ale, chuckle.

Edith.
