After a super Hallowe'en workshop (with a third of the appropriately scary songs/poems from participants aged around 25!), interest in our next event on Sunday 28th November is high.
Our guests then are Tom and Margaret Spiers from Aberdeen. Tom has been a significant performer (singing and fiddling -- sometimes at the same time!) since the 1960's and his wife Margaret (a more recent public performer) has absorbed songs from many of the most important traditional singers from the north-east.
Tom's pedigree includes a long stint with one of the most influential Scottish groups, The Gaugers (with Arthur Watson and the late Peter Hall); and more recently with Arthur and Pete Shepheard of Springthyme Records as Shepheard, Spiers and Watson. His repertoire is firmly based in the north-east of Scotland and shows the influence of such famous folk luminaries as Jeannie Robertson, Jimmy McBeath, Lizzie Higgins etc.
We already have a goodly number of advance bookings, but would like to open this out to a wider audience. Booking is essential, so click on the link to ensure a place -

(Have tried the blue clicky but not convinced it has worked, so would be very grateful if some kind techie wizard would make it all happen!)
