The family line up is Paul, Liz, Gavin & Amy (Gav's fiancé). On a good night it may include their younger son, Gareth. They draw on a body of songs from family and childhood recollections. Paul also has a knack of being able to write new songs that focus on local traditions and ways of life but never sound like mere pastiche or book larnin'. Paul plays guitar or melodeon, Gavin plays guitar, cittern, mandolin, Anglo concertina and clawhammer banjo as well as performing unaccompanied.

Your chance to sing, play, read peotry and even tell corny jokes.

The Roaring Forties, our very own Geoff Turner  with Jim Hancock, Dave Hoy & Geoff Miller will perform Icebound during the first half of the evening and the second half will be a collection of sea songs and shanties from around the world.   Icebound is the true story of the whaling ships "Dee" (Aberdeen) & "Grenville Bay" (Newcastle) which, along with the "Norfolk", the "Thomas" and the "Advice" were trapped in the ice of Baffin Bay over the winter of 1836/7.

Enjoy an informal night of music, poetry, tune and the odd story and joke.
