Louis Killen
Sharron
Kraus
Wednesday 25th
March
The Old Queen's Head
7:30pm -11pm, £6 adv, £7
OTD
To introduce the Opening night of Folklahoma, two supreme beacons of
folk.
Louis Killen hailing from Newcastle is the grand master, grandfather
and veritable
god of the art-form and has been for almost 50 years. He
simply spellbinds listeners
with a voice and musicianship that transports
you from whaling boats to lone prairies
back to the streets of his native
town. Louis is surely the singer’s singer, not often
performing in London,
this promises to be a rare treat. Krauss’ songs whisper a darker
more
avant-garde dialect of mystery and intrigue, a unique visionary with subtle
power.

St
Georges Day Special
Thursday 23rd April 2009 £10
Cecil Sharp
House
The
Folklahoma, the EFDSS and fRoots presents a celebratory gig at Cecil Sharp House
on St George's Day, 23rd April. It showcases some of the great English folk
artists now
emerging from outside the established folk scene - Ian King,
Nancy Wallace, Mary Epworth
and Olivia Chaney – all of whom will be amongst
the subjects of a cover feature on the May
issue of fRoots magazine
published on the same day.
Headliner
Ian King is, for example, looked after by Bobby Marshall (manager of Asian
Dub Foundation), produced by Adrian Sherwood and has Little Axe's Skip
McDonald in his
sometime band - playing English traditional songs with a
brass section. Shirley Collins is a big
fan. Nancy Wallace has a new solo CD
and is on leave from being singer with The Memory
Band. Mary Epworth was
considered by many to have been one of the hits of the South
Bank's Sandy
Denny tribute last December and her single "Saddle Song" caused quite a
stir.
Also on the
bill will be storyteller Debs Newbold, Suffolk Howler Mummers, the C# House
Choir,
a brawl in the bar and much more. It starts at 7.30 pm and costs a
very modest £10.
