The Home Growns
A showcase for some of our regular singers and musicians who often get invited to play at village halls, garden fetes and the like. They're not exactly a band, more of a rabble, but they promise to entertain.
Wednesday 6th March
Joe Topping
Joe last appeared here in 2016 and this return is overdue. He's a charismatic singer who was a semi-finalist in ITV's The Voice, no less.

Wednesday 3rd April
Huw Williams
Huw is a gifted songwriter many of whose songs have become folk standards. The Summer Before the War and Rosemary's Sister are two examples. Ralph McTell says "the number of cover versions of his songs would make many seasoned songwriters jealous."

Wednesday 5th June
Union Jill
Otherwise known as Helen Turner and Sharon Jagger. Their all-original material embraces historical themes and contemporary issues; personal experiences and protest songs. They have an on-stage banter that you only get from two women sharing a stage. And two Yorkshire women at that.

Very exciting NZ/Australian duo, who have twice been nominated for Artist of the Year in the Australian Folk Music awards. They mix a few trad numbers with their own songs, all performed with superb singing and musical backing on fiddle, mandolin and guitar.
