For some years, Neil White (ex-Old Time News editor) has been hosting mainly
Old Time concerts at his local, the Crabshell in Kingsbridge, South Devon.
Now, thanks to the generosity of his previous guests, he has been able to
release a cd sampler.
So, titled simply 'The Crabshell COncerts 2005-2012' it features an hour of
music from the tradition, donated by each of the acts that have featured in
the 29 concert series. They are some of the most admired and respected players
from both sides of the Atlantic who, amongst them, have sold out the Albert
Hall; achieved championship honours; broken audience records; starred on TV,
film and radio and won accolades galore. Superb performers at the top of their
powers, everyone one has earned worldwide acclaim.
The cd is on sale from the Crabshell Inn or from Crabshell Records, 2 Clipper
Quay, Embankment Road, Kingsbridge, TQ7 1SJ at £10 in person or £12 with p&p
(£14.50 abroad), sterling cheques payable to Crabshell Records.
Any profits from the sales are entirely dedicated to promoting live,
professional music of the tradition in and around Kingsbridge.
Featuring tracks from the Orpheus Supertones; Jeff Davis with Brian Peters;
Bayou Seco; Ira Bernstein and Riley Baugus; The Carrivick Sisters; Jeff
Warner; Beverly Smith and Carl Jones; the Albemarle Ramblers; Simon Mayor and
Hilary James; Debby McClatchy; Phil Beer; Julie Felix; Pete Coe; Kate
