Dates & Guest Details
Here you will find details on our upcoming events and links to our guests pages.
Friday 25 September 2009 - Steve Turner
Steve comes from a family of singers and concertina players. (His Grandfather sang and played the instrument in the 1890s). Steve’s performance is powerful, authoritative and commanding, producing definitive versions of many traditional songs, with accompaniment on concertina, mandolin and tenor banjo. The folk scene’s finest performers hold him in high regard.
Friday 30 October 2009 - Steve Tilston
Steve is a celebrated British singer-songwriter, winning as much praise for his superb guitar playing as for his songwriting and rich vocal style. Many of his songs are considered modern folksong classics, such as The Slip Jigs & Reels, The Naked Highwayman, and Here’s To Tom Paine. He is also renowned for taking traditional songs and making them his own.
Friday 27 November 2009 - Trio Threlfall
The beautiful voices of sisters Jane & Amanda Threlfall blend exquisitely, and their renowned vocal harmonies are accompanied expertly by Roger Edwards on Anglo concertina and guitar. Their superb interpretations of the best traditional English folk songs are presented with the respect, passion and integrity they deserve. Last seen at the Everyman in January 2003.
Friday 29 January 2010 - Brian Peters & Gordon Tyrrall
Brian is a top melodeon and concertina player as well as an accomplished guitarist, while Gordon contributes brilliant guitar and fine flute playing, and both are strong singers. Together they create rich arrangements of classic folk songs, blistering instrumentals, original material and the occasional startling cover version. This is a rare opportunity to see the two perform together.
Friday 26 February 2010 - Isambarde
Isambarde is a Coventry-based folk band with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. With Chris's driving guitar, Emily's incisive fiddle playing and Jude's lyrical oboe, coupled with great full-on vocal harmonies, Isambarde reworks and breaths fresh air into a collection of mainly traditional songs. We can expect infectious enthusiasm, lively sense of humour, and excellent musicianship.
Friday 26 March 2010 - Tom Lewis
Tom last visited the Everyman from his home in British Columbia, Canada five years ago. A retired British Navy sub-mariner, Tom has a formidable body of mostly-seafaring songs and stories of the sea – new and old – and accompanies himself with button accordion and ukulele. His warm character combines with his rich, compelling voice to capture your imagination. A big voice, a big repertoire and a great guy.
Friday 30 April 2010 - Janet Russell
Janet is known for her interpretation of Scottish traditional material, as well as for her challenging and charming presentation of humorous and poignant material about today’s social and environmental issues. Accompanying herself on guitar, Janet is a superb performer of a great breadth of material. We are delighted to welcome her back to the Everyman after nine years.
Friday 28 May 2010 - Jim Causley, Jackie Oates & James Dumbleton
We are delighted to present three representatives of the upcoming generation of excellent younger performers. Fine and expressive baritone singer, Jim (last seen at the Everyman as part of The Devil’s Interval), will be performing with Jackie –virtuoso fiddle player and haunting vocalist, and James – great guitar and mandolin player with a surprising knack for whistling.
