FOLK
MUSIC _at_
The
Hawth
This year's Crawley Folk
Festival sizzled in the summer sunshine as thousands of
people from as far afield as Austria and France got into the
festival mood at "one of the must see events on the folk
calendar" (BBC South Today on Crawley Folk Festival
2009).
Highlights of the weekend included
performances from Adrian Edmondson and his band The Bad
Shepherds, folk legends Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick and
Eliza Carthy who had hot footed it from Glastonbury in order
to perform in Crawley.
Further high points were the
stunning vocal harmoniies of the Carrivick Sisters and the
performance of hot young folk band Mawkin:Causley both of
who you can look forward to at The Hawth this coming
season.
Never fear, Crawley Folk
Festival may be over for another year but The Hawth has
plenty of great music planned to see you through to next
year. Read on to find out what's in store this
autumn:

Jeff &
Vida with
The Carrivick Sisters
Fri 11
Sept 8.15pm (Spotlight)
A night
of bluegrass from American duo Jeff &
Vida supported by young English twins
The Carrivick Sisters.
Vida's
powerful vocals and driving guitar with Jeff's rock
'n' roll approach to mandolin and guitar has had feet
stomping across America with their bluegrass,
alternative country and acoustic
roots.
Charlotte and Laura Carrivick's passion
for American bluegrass combined with their talents on
a wide range of instruments and superb vocal harmonies
complete the night.

Jacqui
McShee's Pentangle
Sat 26 Sept 8.15pm
(Studio)
The legendary
Pentangle expanded the frontiers of folk in the '60s
and '70s. Since then, the band's evolving styles and
various line-ups have continued to make groundbreaking
music. One thing has remained constant, however -
Jacqui McShee's unique
voice.
‘Glorious stuff, deeply atmospheric
and immaculately sung and played. The current line-up
kicks up an absolute storm and Jacqui's voice is
gorgeous' Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
Tickets: £13.50 (discounts:
£12.50)
