🄵 THE SILLERTIDES is Doug Huggins and Linn Phipps, singing conversation songs together. The unique feature of our singing is that - through the magic of Zoom – we live-sing together across the Atlantic Ocean, over a distance of 5000 miles. Every week, we live-sing our conversation songs at singarounds, based in the USA, UK and Ireland. These days, distance is no object! The first song we ever sang together is Norland Wind. And when we were seeking a name for our duo, The Wind’s line about sillertides seemed to us to fit us best.

We are a friendly, informal singers’ session, meeting on the third Tuesday of every month at 8pm. We work on the principle of going round the group, taking turns. Anyone, of any ability or degree of confidence, is welcome to join us: our ‘mission statement’ has always been:
‘Live Music by Real People in the Community’
We welcome singers, instrumentalists, story-tellers, poetry reciters and anyone who would just like to sit with their pint and listen! The music you will hear might be a tune that Wellington’s soldiers whistled as they went off to fight in the Peninsula, or a song about the Border Reivers, but it’s just as likely to be a music-hall number or ‘here’s one I wrote last week’.

🄰 MARK DOWDING,
Mark’s roots are in Lancashire and he sings many songs from the area, including those reintroduced by Harry Boardman who encouraged him to ‘keep singing the songs’, when he was a resident at Harry’s club in the 1980s. Mark’s wider repertoire is varied and enhanced by songs from many genres, including those written in traditional style by people such as Peter Bond, Bernie Parry, Keith Marsden and others, and songs from the Music Hall and Variety eras of the early 20th Century.
Mark’s accomplished singing and musicianship, alongside his knowledge of the history of the songs he sings, has earned him an excellent reputation at folk clubs and other events. His mellow voice has been likened to a ‘chocolate box’!
Mark’s CDs include “Dreams of the Past”, "Brown Photographs”, "Travelling Tales”, “The Well Worn Path”, and, with Chris Harvey, (Cock Robin Music), “A Mon Like Harry”, a Harry Boardman tribute, and “Manchester Ballads” based on the book edited by Harry Boardman and Roy Palmer'.
Mark has done session work and has appeared on BBC and Local Radio Folk Programmes as guest and stand-in presenter. TV work includes “The Real Mill with Tony Robinson”, “Britain’s Most Extreme Weather” and “Gardeners’ World”.
