Jan 20th       PETE COE               £8 adv/ £9 door

We're always delighted to welcome Pete back to Twickenham. "A One-Man Folk Industry!" was how Jim Lloyd famously described him. With a vast repertoire of traditional & original songs, dance tunes & dances playing bouzouki, melodeon, dulcimer, banjo & step percussion, he's been a professional musician since 1971. Pete looks to the tradition, but doesn't shrink from adapting and reinventing in order to move forward. He is essentially a storyteller, equally at home with lengthy traditional ballads as with pithy self-penned songs. He has recorded ten albums, broadcasts regularly on local and BBC radio and has appeared in several television programs. Pete has frequently worked and recorded with other musicians throughout his career ... with Chris Coe as a duo... with Chris, Nic Jones and Tony Rose as Banddoggs ... with the legendary New Victory Band and with Red Shift. However his main work is solo. Pete is a prolific songwriter and his songs include "Joseph Baker" (performed by The Chieftains), "The Wizard of Alderley Edge", "The Alimony Run", "Sold Down the River Again", "The Jackdaw" and "Waves of Tory" (a comment on Thatcher-era Britain)

"He explores the heartland of the English folk song revival with an ease and honesty that invests traditional songs with a simplistic beauty"   Mojo
