Subject: Announcing: Maart Allcock & Gilly Darbey
There's another chance to enjoy the superb music of Maartin Allcock and Gilly Darbey on Friday November 16, when they appear in a special concert in Brinklow, near Rugby.

The duo played a brilliant debut set at the Ride-A-Cock-Horse Folk Club, Banbury in May. They went down a storm at Coventry's Godiva Festival in June. And they delighted the crowds at the Warwick Folk Festival in July.

Their powerful combination of superb voice and stunning acoustic guitar brings out the best of their repertoire – from traditional ballads to Tori Amos with some great blues thrown in.

Formerly with Waterfall and Nothing By Chance, Gilly has established herself also as a fine solo artist both in the UK and Australia. Ex-Fairport and Jethro Tull musician Maart has toured extensively with Kieran Halpin and Steve Tilston.

The show starts at 8pm in the Royal British Legion, Heath Lane, Brinklow and support is provided by two members of The Oddsods, Pete Willow (guitar) and Louisa Davies (fiddle). Tickets are £5 – call 01788 832608 for details.

Kevin Dempsey and Joe Broughton are also in concert at the Legion on Dec. 21st. More details later.
