On Sunday August 31st Punch The Horse were due to play the Sun Inn, Beverley but have had to cancel. I, together with my friend Gifford Rolfe, will be playing there as a replacement under the name "Thin Ice".

Gifford has been writing, performing and recording since the 1970s and has appeared on national UK radio and TV as well performing at the Edinburgh Festival.

On the night he will be playing 6 and 12 string guitars and harmonica and I will be playing guitar, mandolin and harmonica – we will share lead and backing vocal duties. We also expect to be joined by a spoons player.

The repertoire will consist of songs either written by or associated with the following artists:

Sam Cooke, Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers, Townes van Zante, John Prine, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Louvin Brothers, Uncle Dave Macon, Gifford Rolfe, Mickey Newbury, Ewan MaColl, Jez lowe, McGuinness Flint, Neil Young, Jesse Fuller, Trad, Steve Earle, and more.

We start playing at 8.45pm and will finish around 10.45 – hope to see some of you there, if it is not too far to travel.
