⊕ Folk at the Falcon is a recently established folk and acoustic music evening which takes place in the atmospheric setting of the Falcon Mews. The Team bring you a selection of excellent local and national artists, monthly on a Friday. [new member 19/7/21]
🄵 Herefs FOLK AT THE FALCON, Bromyard : Friday 13th August, 7.30pm. The Falcon Mews will echo once again to some of the country's finest and most entertaining acoustic musicians.
Journeyman play a unique blend of folk, pop, rock, Irish and country music. Brilliant and lively repertoire, and renowned for their laid back, tongue in cheek presentation! They are: Paul Beadle, vocals, guitar, mandolin, flute, percussion, playing and singing with amazing vigour; Andy Lindsay, vocals, guitar, mandolin, whistle and harmonica, and a fine songwriter; brilliant bass player Marc Miletich (The Roving Crows, Babajak and Worcester Symphony Orchestra); and Kimberly Turnbull (Flatworld), a superb singer and brilliant violinist.
Supported by Koppelli, Ludlow duo: Nathan Edwards, guitar, harmonica, vocals, and Sheena Wieckowicz, keyboards, accordion, percussion, handpans, vocals. They met two years ago at an open mic and have been together ever since, playing mostly their own original material. Sheena says: 'We play thoughtful, romantic and fun original songs, written by both of us, but predominantly Nathan.'
Audience numbers may continue to be limited by Covid restrictions, so it's advised to book early. Tickets are £10 from Roger Pugh at pugh<at>live.co.uk / 01885 483425 / 07779 694615

🄵 from Derek Lovell
Some of you will already know that over the last 18 months, I have been writing my own songs, some of which have been performed via folk club Zoom sessions Over the years I have composed many guitar instrumentals but this is a new venture for me. I did write a number of songs in my youth which were generally a lovey-dovey kind of stuff so it's best we don't talk about those! Anyway, as I was getting more than the occasional favourable response to my songs I was persuaded to get some of them recorded. The songs I have written will, I hope paint pictures in your mind as that was my intention from the very start. Some of the topics include tin mining in Cornwall, chain making in Cradley Heath, a visit to a fun fair and even Bonnie Prince Charlie's Battle Of Culloden Moor. Recordings have now been completed and I am pleased to say that the CD, which comprises of all my own material is called Flat Caps, Bowler Hats , Bonnets and Scarves and is now ready for you to purchase, if you are so inclined that is. All profits from the sale of the CD will be going directly the the charity Midlands Air Ambulance So, for less than the price of a couple of posh coffees and some sticky buns, you can buy this brilliant (not my words by the way) charity CD which won't make you hyperactive or fat but can always double up as a coaster if you don't like it. The CD will only cost you £10. It will be available for sale at Rushwick Folk Club sessions and also at our fellow Worcestershire folk clubs Quite a number of copies have already been sold and yes, people are still talking to me! In the meantime, take care, stay safe and I hope to see you soon. Best wishes, Derek Derek Lovell, 01299 824908, derek.lovell<at>yahoo.co.uk |
