16 Sep 10 - 10:49 AM (#2987975) Subject: RE: London Folk Clubs, 19-24 Sep From: evansakes Depends what type of stuff you like, JJ. You might be trying to avoid American bands while you're over here but we've got Brother Mule in Twickenham on Sunday 19th and you'd be more than welcome to join us. In addition to the three musicians mentioned in the bio below they'll have a fourth member in the shape of British banjo wizard Leon Hunt www.MySpace.com/BrotherMule "Brother Mule in concert is a musical conversation between three of America's most gifted acoustic musicians. The bandmates share the spotlight in a three-ringed circus of extraordinary talent and variety. Brian Wicklund ignites the stage with his fiery fiddling, Ben Winship plays tasty mandolin as he croons one of his finely crafted songs, while Eric Thorin pushes the boundaries of bass playing as an extreme sport. Their debut recording, Big Twang, earned them the Indie Music Award's Best Americana CD of 2005. It's a showcase of original and traditional vocals and instrumentals spanning genres of swing, old time, Celtic, old country and acoustic funk. |

And, as mentioned on the other new London folk clubs thread, try checking Folk London . Plus, on Monday a choice of the London commuters' singaround or the Herga folk club! Kitty |

17 Sep 10 - 01:29 PM (#2988793) Subject: RE: London Folk Clubs, 19-24 Sep From: Herga Kitty Guest - nearest tube to Herga is not Northwood, it's Northwood Hills, the station between Northwood and Pinner. But - assuming both posts came from the same guest, not that anyone can tell - I agree that Camden is nearer to Bloomsbury (or Inmidtown as it's apparently being re-branded). Kitty |
