Kirkby Fleetham Village Hall, Kirkby Fleetham Northallerton, North Yorks, DL7 0SH, Otober 23rd 7.30pm £5.

Bill presents his amazing song cycle with narrative commemerating the 50th anniversary (in 2009) of the Auchengeich Colliery disaster. He has a cracking band helping him out with this: John Bushby (smallpipes of many sorts, bouzouki, mandolin, whistles, vocals) Caroline Bushby (Celtic Harp, vocals) & Wendy Arrowsmith (guitar, accordion, whistles, percussion, vocals). Bill is a superb singer and guitar player. I suspect a little banjo interference as well.

We did a "live preview" of a couple of the songs from this work at the last KFFC night. Some of this was video'd....The Miner's Widow's Lament

Helping out as M.C. and doing a 40 minute set will be the superlative Stan Graham. Stan has recently toured Australia with Vin Garbutt ..... and sold out of CDs along the way! Expect thought provoking songs from this gentleman of the folk world.

I'll be adding another act to this stellar line-up as well!

No bar tonight so bring your own favourite tipple.

Along The Miners' Rows will also be presented at The Cutty Wren Folk Club in Skelton-In-Cleveland on Thursday 21 st October.
