17 May 11 - 04:39 AM (#3155559) Subject: Tom Lewis Lewes Sat Folk Club 21 May From: Valmai Goodyear Our guest performer at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club on Saturday 21st. May is the delightful Tom Lewis. Admission is £7, no membership is needed and everyone is welcome, particularly if you'd like to sing or play. If you like songs and stories of the sea, new and old, you'll certainly enjoy Tom's singing, his stories and his recordings. Tom is a 24-year veteran of Her Majesty's Royal Naval diesel submarines; although now he's comfortably located on dry land in British Columbia, Canada. His songs cover a wide range of nautical topics, from life on board H.M. ships, through the loneliness and lure of the sea, to traditional shanties and classic nautical poetry, set to his own, and others' melodies. He accompanies himself with button accordion or ukulele, and tells wonderfully funny stories as well. Valmai (Lewes) |
