 Friday 4th  APRIL           
 Alison McMorland and Geordie McIntyre
Alison & Geordie sing their traditional Scots ballads with passion and intensity. Renowned for their feeling for the songs and their work collecting and passing on Scots tradition, Alison's soaring rich voice is complemented by Geordie's dry wit and rhythmic delivery.... â€œ scrupulous traditional fidelity with versatile and creative artistry.â€ð        (Hamish Henderson)

Friday  May 9th - Sunday 11th  2008  The Musical Traditions Club presents  at the King & Queen :
 
Fourth    WEEKEND  CELEBRATION IN HONOUR OF KEITH SUMMERS
 
Bayou Seco, USA (Jeanie McLerie and Ken Keppeler); Slieve Gullion Traditional Singers from Mullaghbawn  ( Patricia Flynn, Mick Quinn, Miceal Quinn, Len Graham , Gerry O'Hanlon);

In previous years we have concentrated on guests relevant to Keith's collecting in Fermanagh and Suffolk and his enjoyment of the Sheffield Carols. Last year we had a strong Scots contingent . This year we focus on another of his loves - American music -  plus the usual mix of Irish and English guests.                      
Also we hope that many of our previous guests will join us again, along with Musical Traditions  residents who give the club its special quality. Keith co-founded the club with us in 1990.
 
 Pre-booked ticket holders only    -    space is limited. No admission unless pre-booked.  Weekend ticket £30 or  £7.50 per session.
 
 separate email with Priority Booking  Form for MTC Club members coming soon

Friday 6th June 
Brendan McGlinchey and Oliver Mulligan : two All-Ireland champions
 
Fiddle- player Brendan, from Co. Armagh, is  a master of decorative style, renowned both for his technical virtuosity and his great feeling for the old style music.
Oliver  is originally from Co. Monaghan  where his style and many of his songs were learned, he later added Gaelic songs  from the West.   Long resident in London, he  is a much respected singer  in both English and Irish.
 
 
Friday 4th July    Dearman, Gammon & Harrison
 
Annie Dearman, Vic Gammon and Steve Harrison perform English traditional songs and tunes in a robust and firmly rooted English style, accompanied on various squeezeboxes, banjo and mouthorgan. Their repertory comes from traditional singers and instrumentalists; from  folk song collectors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; from manuscript tune and song books , ballad sheets and songs  they just happen to hear and like.
Their CD Black Crow, White Crow  (EFDSS CD11)  has had great reviews.
