Hello all

Those lovely people at Chesterfield Folk club have got the amazing multi-talented Phil Beer on stage this Friday 14th December, whilst best know as one half of Show of Hands, Phil is also an accomplished solo performer:

"Phil is one of the most popular ambassadors for acoustic roots music. A dazzling instrumentalist, he is perhaps best known as a top flight fiddler and plays in the all-star line-up, Feast of Fiddles. But his skills don't stop there, he also plays slide, Spanish and tenor guitar, mandocello, viola, mandolin and South American cuatro, not to mention contributing rich vocals.

As a composer, Phil has written many numbers including the stunning instrumental The Falmouth Packet for Show of Hand's album Witness.

Our support spot for this evening is Sunjay Brayne. He was a finalist in last year's BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards and he has also reached the last 10 in this year's competition."

The venue is the Chesterfield Club on Chester Street (those of us over a certain age still think of it as the Miner's Welfare) there is plenty of parking, and beer at pub prices.

THIS LINK should take you to the Club's website, and from there you can buy tickets and find more information out.

Please come and support excellent live music!
