27th February Tom and Barbara Brown.
A reservoir of fold songs and wit that goes down a bomb. A night of treats, a kind of musical baklava from a twosome of great renown. Tom and Barbara are singers although Tom also plays English concertina, guitar, melodeon and Mandolin. They are artists of the best kind, ever eager to spread the music and the word and to encourage participation. So you are in for a real treat.

25th June Marie Little.
Marie Little , here is a lady with so much talent, I just don't know where to start. She has an amazing voice and the ability to sing with such passion, she has you mesmerised. Marie's sense of comedy is brilliant, she reminds me of a young Gracy Fields, with the comedy timing of Victoria Wood. I could go on and on singing Marie's praises, why not just come along and see and hear for yourselves, you will not be disappointed. 8:15pm start.
