Another Special Guest ( in absentia ) evening coming up. An Acoustic "Bruce Springsteen" this time. Performers sometimes find obscure covers Bruce has performed somewhere or other...I found a "Shane McGowan" classic....LOL. Someone asked me to put on a "Johnny Cash" evening soon....we'll see?

First ad for the next outing of Four Rivers Folk Club.
We are very pleased to have as our headline act "Harmonica Lewinsky".
Phil Leiwy, aka Harmonica Lewinsky has been playing cockney music for many years, in pubs, clubs and festivals around London & the South East. Over the years he has collected a large number of cockney singalong classics as well as less well known, hilarious gems of East End working class life; songs full of wit, innuendo and dark humour. He’s passionate about keeping what is effectively a branch of English folk music heritage alive. Throw in some Bernard Cribbins, George Formby and John Cooper Clarke, a driving rhythmic guitar, some delicious harmonica pyrotechnics and a dry stage personality and you’ve got a fully formed entertainment show.

What's not to like then and Phil will be more than adequately supported by Peter Hart, Ellie Walker, Whiskey Dreamers and Old Remedy For The New World.

I know I'm behind with previous meetings descriptions and I hope to catch up sometime but things running away from me ....many apologies.

I'll review previous outing some other time but busy with current stuff.
Next coven is on Wednesday 12th March with club favourites Causton and Walker headlining.
"Fuelled by Penni McLaren Walker’s guitar work and beautiful songs accompanied by Bryan’s exquisite mandolin playing, Causton and Walker have amassed a popular following with their foot-tapping and moving music." This is their blurb but it is really a very much understated description of their great performances.

Support will be from "Why Not?", "Peter Crossley", Hardcore and Rubble" and "Gary "Guitar" Lammin". It'll be a full, or maybe fool night of great music.

Cheers Pat

A huge thanks to all performers at last weeks Four Rivers Folk Club and especially our headline act of "Drywood" who performed a long set of outstanding and varied music. Great musicianship and vocals.
Our support performers of Peter Crossley, Dave Artus and The Larks.

Next time out on the 22nd July we have as our headline act The Coplin Nesbit Trio ( I gave the a name so my fault if I've upset any egos. Support will be from Peter Crossley Singer Songwriter, Whiskey Dreamers, Steve Warner and Julie Simpson. I may persuade Peter to back me on fiddle on some of mine.

Colin Nisbet Trio....
From the pubs and folk clubs of 1970s Glasgow to becoming a staple of the Hertford music scene for the last 30 years, Colin’s musical journey has spanned Rock, Country, and Blues—but his heart has always remained in acoustic folk. Tonight, he steps away from Hertford’s favourite Irish Band The Banter Boys to deliver a set that crosses genres and features several original songs. Joined by the legendary Chris "the Hat" Harvey and the virtuoso fiddle and guitar of Jo Axton, Colin promises a medley of musical styles designed to surprise and delight.

What's not to love......see you then..Pat Crilly Music

Hi here is the first poster for one of our Special Evenings on the 23rd July. This Evening will be an Acoustic Neil Young Evening. So far we have 5 acts and therefore are one act short of our normal line up.
The attached poster lists the songs that have been selected by the performers and for those who know these things you can see that there are songs that Neil Young has performed but not necessarily written or composed . If you are interested I performing let me know...no duplication of songs needed. Cheers Pat....After the Goldrush. corrected from After the Goldfish. which I think is a better title

I should have posted this earlier but busy, busy, busy with other "music things".
Tomorrow 3rd and 4th July Hertford Club runs its annual Literary Festival in Lombard House, Bull Plain, SG14 1 DT. This event has an outdoor stage and has a marquee covering audience from inclement or (as forecast) clement weather.
Musically on Friday 3rd we have as a 'Kick off" event at 1pm local songwriters Peter Crossley Singer Songwriter Mike Excell and myself , Pat Crilly Music, performing sets with two songs that have inspired us and an original song that has resulted from the inspiration.
In the evening , at circa, 7pm we will have 30 minute sets from Peter, Mike and Pat performing whatever they wish and a concluding set from The Junkyard Dawg Jugband...what's not to like and football free...thank goodness!
On Saturday evening at circa 7pm Kevin Saunder will be providing the music and it will definitely be a bit "rockier" than Friday's music.....something for everyone then!
