Folk In The Chapel, The Westgate Chapel, 92a High Street, Lewes, East Sussex BN7 1XH Sunday 26th March at 2,30 Concert will include:- MARK ORCHIN & BONNIE FLITNEY Click here to see a photo of them. Bonnie Flitney and Mark Orchin have been members of Sussex Folk Rock band touchstone since 1990 and are currently about to release their 6th album. They draw their musical influences from many styles and genres of music but primarily folk music. Mark & Bonnie have been the main songwriters for Touchstone throughout their career and their original compositions have a unique twist as most songs are based around Sussex historical events, e.g. the Lewes snow avalanche, shipwrecks and so on. In 1995 the pair entered the best new artist competition at the National Folk Festival and beat all other entrants to win the contest going on to play many UK festivals both as a duo and with Touchstone. Mark was the music teacher at Lewes Old Grammar until he retired recently and ran a successful folk band who performed 3 times at Lewes Folk Festival - Expect a feast of Sussex flavoured songs and tunes.
