Workshop No 145
The Claque BALLAD FORUM
Places £20
Saturday 9th. April 2011
10.45 a.m.- 4.45 p.m.
Elephant & Castle , White Hill, Lewes BN7 2DJ      
        
        The Claque blends four voices of depth & maturity with serious folk pedigrees: Tom Addison, Barry Lister, Dave Lowry & Sean O'Shea. All have been in one or more of the legendary groups The Songwainers, Hollinmor & Isca Fayre. They sing mainly traditional songs in rich, striking, inventive harmonies which vary from sweet & solemn through bright & cheery to dark & dangerous.

        Tom, Barry & Sean are also distinguished & well-informed solo singers of ballads. Barry's solo CD Ghosts & Greasepaint features several classics. (Unfortunately Dave cannot be with us on this occasion.) In the forum they will sing & discuss some of their choice.

    You are invited to bring at least one traditional ballad to sing & talk about. To avoid clashes with other contributors, please state your preferred ballad in advance. If your choice has already been taken we will let you know so that you can choose another. If in doubt about what counts as a ballad, please use the contact email or phone to ask.
