Profile of Dave & Julie Evardson Folk singers Dave & Julie hail from Cleethorpes on the North Lincolnshire coast, adjacent to the once great fishing port of Grimsby. 'Lincolnshire Family' was written by Dave which is based on a Latvian refugee's view of starting a new life in Lincolnshire in the late 1800s. It won first prize in the 2002 BBC Radio Lincolnshire "Write a Song for Lincolnshire" contest. The duo have been singing and playing in their own locality for many years, but are now following up invitations to perform further a field Much of their material is derived from the lives and work of people they have known who earned their living from fishing and its related trades. Dave's own songs "The Forty Thieves" and "The North Wall" have been taken up and recorded by well-known singers such as Vin Garbutt and Johnny Collins. Loncolnshire singers John Conolly, Bill Whaley and Dave Fletcher also have Dave's songs in their repertoires. Dave & Julie like to inject humour into their performance, and choose songs with listenable melodies and singable choruses. They will have with them copies of their CDs "One More Trip", "Crosby Road" and "A Ramble On The Viking Way", containing (like their act) a mixture of original and traditional songs. Dave will also have copies of his songbook, with lyrics and music to 24 of his songs.
