What an excellent evening. Full house and they were not let down.

Stitherum did a very good opening spot which was very well thought out and funny. Set it up lovely for the main act.

What can I say about Jez Lowe and The Bad Pennies, other than excellent. Once again an organisers dream.

Many thanks to Gwenda & Terry for their help and to Mike and Sue for photo's and raffle and Mcing.

Thanks to all that came.

Jez Lowe and The Bad Pennies

Jez Lowe's band, The Bad Pennies, have been one of the high points of the international folk scene for over a decade, frequently touring to the USA, Canada, Australia and beyond! This time they are touring Jez Lowe's new studio album 'Jack Common's Anthem' as well as a prestigious back catalogue of classics.

Jez Lowe was recently described as 'one of our best songwriters' by BBC Radio 2 and his songwriting work for the BBC 'Radio Ballads' series was honoured by a SONY Radio Academy Award. In December 2007 he was nominated for the BBC Radio Folk Awards as 'Folksinger of the Year'.

His lively, toe-tapping melodies and bittersweet lyrics are complimented by the excellent band line-up of Kate Bramley (fiddle/ duet vocals), Tyneside champion Northumbrian piper Andy May (pipes, whistles, piano) and fretless bass supremo David de la Haye (bass/ vocals).

Recent album reviews:

"One of the folkscene's great unsung heroes... His best album for some time." MIKE HARDING, BBC

RADIO 2

"A profoundly impressive new album. Lowe has earned the right to be counted among England's finestcontemporary songwriters." DAILY TELEGRAPH, UK

"An affirmation, and a development! Quintessential Jez!" FROOTS, UK

"Another impressive collection from this very talented songwriter." FOLKING.COM

"You can't go wrong with this lovely album." PENGUIN EGGS, CANADA

Live reviews:

"Definitely a highlight of the year" NET RHYTHM

Support Stitherum

Stitherum are Mike and Sue Dewsbury, originally from Nottingham but now proud to be Lincolnshire Yellowbellies- by absorption (mainly Batemans XXXB).
Although regular visitors to folk clubs in the 70's, they didn't get around to performing in public until being persuaded to attend Gainsborough Folk Club in the early 1990s. They eventually became involved in running the Club and were instrumental in the organisation of the First Gainsborough Folk Festival in 2000

Their musical influences are wide with Mike having a deep affection for the early blues and the playing of John Hurt, Blind Boy Fuller and of course Robert Johnson.
Sue, however prefers a much more 'melodic' style and particularly enjoys the singing of June Tabor, Artisan, Tom Bliss and Bob Fox.

Mike and Sue are equally comfortable taking part in a singaround, a folk club floor spot or appearing as the booked artist and as such have appeared at a number of festivals including Saltburn and Southwell.
They are regularly asked to provide the support act for local performances by artists as diverse as Bert Jansch, Nancy Kerr & James Fagan, Emily Druce, Jez Lowe and Bob Fox.

Stitherum's repertoire is drawn from the full range of traditional and contemporary folk and is always collected in the 'aural' tradition-
we hears it- we nicks it! (only with the writers permission though!)

A typical set will include something thing silly, something sublime, something soppy and probably something slightly saucy interspersed with a fair bit of domestic harmony!
A word of warning though- it is generally thought unwise to encourage Mike to delve into his joke book- (for instance " Did you kow that a recent survey showed that six out of seven dwarves weren't happy…… )..... you have been warned !

"Stitherum" is actually a Lincolnshire dialect word meaning a convoluted tale or rigmarole- some would say it 'does what it says on the tin...."

When the muse is on her, Sue has ventured into song writing and was successful in reaching the final of the 'BBC Write a Song for Lincolnshire Competition' in 2002, 2003 & 2004.
Her song 'Woven Threads of Linen' (about a tablecloth?!) was the winner in 2003 and became the title track of their first CD- "Threads"
This was soon followed by oddly titled second CD: "oh look there's an aardvark" which features this Boulton/Parton classic as one of their most requested songs
