Ellie Skinner, Newcastle Folk course graduate and winner of the 2006 New Roots competition, is guesting at Herga Folk Club, Harrow Arts Centre (Weald Room), Uxbridge Road, Middlesex HA5 4EA, on Monday 24th July 2006. Club starts at 8:00 (doors open at 7:30).

I'm really looking forward to listening to Ellie, as her singing on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/ellieskinner) sounds divine.

Ellie Skinner is really, really good; an exceptional voice and intelligent choice of material. I saw her live at Oxford back in April and got her demo which I play all the time. I hope to make it up to Herga. Anyone who can should. They won't be disappointed.

It'll be nice to see you again, Diane. If the weather continues like this you can share my fan.

as long as you wave it as our geo learned on Sunday from non other than Harvey Andrews ! didnt think of him as a fan man

I think Ellie was the hit of the roots comp in St Albans this year, and I am incresingly more difficult to please.

give her a loose rein, there has yet to be a woman who can communicate like Vin Garbutt, she dont do jokes but she does herself o K.



All the best Herga

I was at the New Roots Competition and I'm really looking forward to hearing a full set from Ellie. I'm expecting some great interpretations of the traditional, but also some completely off-the-wall contemporary stuff. Fabulous voice too. It will be awesome.

How sad am I eh? Decided to Google myself and found people saying lovely stuff about me!!

Thanks, that has brightened up a very dull evening at work.

Well done Ellie!

My confidence in you was not misplaced, unlike my confidence in my own guitar playing! (you had to have been there!)

By the way don't take any notice of anyone who tells you to cut down on the chat between songs. Down here we have the master of irrelevant rambling, Breezy himself! In contrast, you were entertaining and enchanting!

Indeed, Ellie, that was a great evening - well done!    A Herga virgin no more!
And I second Steve's comments about the chat. I was also impressed by your perfect pitching of every song without the need for a tuning fork or pitch pipe.

Steve, that fake tan-in-a-can seems to work wonders. Anyone would think you'de been somewhere where there is a heatwave!
