ex Willard's Leap and the Endeavour Shantymen, Graham has a strong
voice and a repertoire that includes many old favourites and a few
good songs of his own. |

-- just over a decade ago Florence Malavialle came from
Nimes to teach French at Grangefield School in Stockton. Already
a singer, she discovered the local folk scene at Darlington, picked
up a Tees Valley accent and came back to be a highly acclaimed performer
with a stunning voice, and a great interaction with her audience.

| 6th Feb | Tom
McConville and David
Newey Tom’s visits are always very popular, fully
justifying the publicity quote, "Scintillating fiddle,
a silky smooth voice, a wide grin and a dry Geordie wit".
We booked him as a solo act but have just found out that he’s
bringing David who accompanied him last time: David is an excellent
singer and guitarist and the duo gave us a great night in 2010.
Get there early for this one! |
