12th Sept Lynne Heraud & Pat Turner always give us a hugely entertaining evening with their combination of humour and song -- "everything from high tragedy to ingenious smut in glorious vocal harmony!" They also, between them, play guitar, recorder, English concertina and a variety of whistles (including Swanee, policeman's and referee's) and are not in the least averse to dressing up or dancing when a song requires it.

3rd Oct Peter & Barbara Snape Welcome back to a Lancashire duo who delighted us when they visited The George & Dragon. Barbara has a terrific voice and a way of getting to the heart of a song and involving the audience. Peter on the melodeon provides sensitive accompaniment. Together they celebrate North West culture from the cotton mills to Gracie Fields and the songs collected by Anne Gilchrist.

12th Dec Alistair Russell began singing at Stockton Folk Club as a teenager, both solo and as one of The Distillers. From a Scottish family, his big break came when he joined the legendary Battlefield Band with whom he toured for 13 years! Back as a soloist, his gigs have produced excellent reviews: ‘Alistair has one of the most distinctive and finest voices in Folk Music..…and the repertoire is top notch…’ Buzz UK
