Master Irish fiddler Tommy Peoples from Donegal has again accepted an invitation from Beau of KentFolk and Valmai of The Lewes Saturday Folk Club to visit the South East of England in the Autumn of 2009, as a Fiddlers Various special event. Tommy Peoples is, quite simply, a living legend, the greatest exponent of the driving Donegal style which is his hallmark. Tommy Peoples was an early member of the Bothy Band, and has recorded numerous CDs (discography: a, b). His remarkable self-produced CD "The Quiet Glen" (1998) earned him Ireland's highest accolade as "Traditional Musician of the Year", the first person to be so honoured by the Irish Government. In spite of this he is an intensely modest man.

Kent drummers in Guinness World Record attempt 13th July
Phil Wilson and Matt Gibson
- Drumming up support for MS PHIL WILSON lives in Rochester and has played with a number of bands including Brian Poole, Screaming Lord Sutch, Brian Connolly’s Sweet, Les Gray’s MUD, Edison Lighthouse, MUD II and The Sharpee's. Phil has made numerous appearances on TV both in the UK and Europe, he has also played many of the top venues including the NEC Arena, Wembley Arena, Hammersmith Apollo and the Sport Paleis in Antwerp. Medway musician Phil Wilson, former member of LES GRAY'S MUD and drummer with MUD II, will be joining fellow 70s drummer DON POWELL from Slade to try and smash the current Guinness World drumming record in Birmingham on Monday 13th July 2009 and raise money for Multiple Scelrosis at the same time Phil, a professional musician for more than 30 years and a regular on the medway music scene, is taking part in Stick it to MS, which will bring together more than 600 drummers under one roof at the National Indoor Arena. The world record attempt, which takes place next week, aims to raise thousands of pounds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The existing record is 533 drummers which was achieved at Woodstick USA in 2006. Although there will be 600 drummers taking part, Phil is honoured to have been selected for one of just 50 VIP places, which means he'll be keeping the beat with a number of celebrity drummers including Don Powell from Slade and former Status Quo drummer John Coghlan
