09 Feb 24 - 07:11 AM (#4196812) Subject: Book promo's in Dorset and Hampshire From: GUEST,Nick Dow Just a quick post to extend an invitation to you. We are presenting an evening of Folk songs from Dorset and Hampshire in Bridport and Lymington respectively, on the 4th and 5th of April. (Details Below) There is a really strong lineup of singers for you and of course, there will be a selection of folk songbooks for sale, from Francis Boutle Publishers. Clive Boutle will be there in person, and I think they will be a memorable evenings. The lineup includes The magnificent Steve Turner, Cohen Braithwaite -Kilcoyne, Nick Dow, and we are really glad to welcome Annie Winter, John Waltham and Sophie Wright. Steve Turner is known as a pioneer of highly sophisticated English concertina song accompaniments, stretching the boundaries of traditional forms, with one of the best voices in the business. He is a multi-instrumentalist, who also accompanies himself on the cittern, and also plays mandolin and tenor banjo. Annie is a lovely singer of predominantly traditional songs, and has been heavily involved with the promotion of George Gardiner’s song collection, and making a name for herself in clubs and festivals around the country. Cohen needs very little introduction Described in The Living Tradition as ‘captivating, bold and striking’, Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne is at the forefront of his generation of English folk musicians as both a powerful and commanding singer and a masterful player of the Anglo concertina and melodeon. John Waltham and Sophie Wright are well-known singers and liked and respected throughout the southern counties and beyond. There is an event bright link for you and the details are as follows:- AN EVENING OF FOLK SONGS FROM DORSET featuring Steve Turner, Nick Dow, John Waltham, and Sophie Wright.

Could I ask your permission to request that you copy the link above and send it out via your mailing lists if you think it is appropriate? The more viable the book sales the more chance there is of getting further books published to promote our Folk Music. (Not just mine, by the way, take a look at the Francis Boutle website) There have been encouraging ticket sales, so thank you for your support. |

I have watched his development with interest since he was a teenager. Never miss a chance to see him. He is one of the best. |
