We're having an Old Time concert in Doncaster on Saturday, 13th July, Starring Pete and Ellen Vigour of Charlottesville, Virginia on fiddle, mandolin, guitar and vocals
with guest Ray Banks (me)on 5-string banjo. Support artists are Roy Machin and Mike Miller who are well known in South Yorkshire for smooth performances of great old American songs, with guitar and Dobro accompaniment. The evening will end with an open jam session, so if you play fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin or bass please come and join in!

Venue: The Ukrainian Centre, Becket Road, Doncaster
Time: 7:30 for 8:00 PM
Price: £7 or £5 concessions.

Pete and Ellen are very experienced players and teachers of Old Time music from the Southern Appalachians of the United States who are touring in the UK, and are currently in Penzance for a sold out concert tonight (Wed), a jam session in the Blue Anchor, Helston on Thursday before heading North to Doncaster.

Cheers
Ray

Ray, do you know any of the other dates they'll be playing while they're over here? I can't find a listing on the Internet and I can't make the one in Doncaster. Something a little closer to Merseyside would be ideal.

Many thanks.

Well Fred - they'll just be doing an afternoon gig in the village hall, Clapham in the Yorkshire Dales on the 14th. They'll then be travelling back to the States after a few days rest with Pete's sister who lives here. The nearest one to you would have been the Conwy Bluegrass Festival last weekend - great fun.

My apologies Ray.   I made a note of it when you mentioned it in Epworth the other week but my responsible adult had already made other plans and the need to know principle works well in Mather Towers.

Have a great night,

Ian.

Pete and Ellen (and Ray and Ray's buddy) were very impressive at Epworth last week. Great playing, great songs, and extremely nice people. Loved everything they did, and thoroughly enjoyed playing with them.

I'd love to come to the Ukrainian Club on Saturday but, alas, Mrs. Fenswoman will be out with the girls on the lash, and I'm required to dog-sit! Boo!

Unfortunately this coincides with the Bluegrass Dalesfest at Silsden, otherwise I'd have been there.

Is that Silsden as in Sislden and Steeton, Roger? If so I guess the Clapham gig fits quite neatly in. I am committed to going to Skipton for the Clogfest that day but may be able to pop by with a bit of luck. We are indeed well blessed in the South Dales :-)

Dave,
yes, Silsden as in near Keighley & Skipton. It's out of the village at a campsite.

Latest News:
Roy Machin and Mike Miller will be opening the concert. They've been delighting audiences at the Rock (in both Wentworth and Maltby settings) for many years as very smooth performers of classic old songs on vocal, guitar and Dobro.
