Welcome return of a brilliant musician (melodeon, guitar, Anglo
concertina) and passionate singer. Brian is an expert on traditional ballads
and singers from both England and the Appalachian mountains and is a compelling
performer. www.brian-peters.co.uk , https://youtu.be/fwLy_Elj5Yg

*****************************************************
FRIDAY 9th MARCH Celebrate St Patrick's Day (well ahead !) with
MICHAEL SHEEHY (accordion) and ED BARRETT
(fiddle)
Michael learnt his
playing from his father Mick from West Limerick, part of the rich music
area Sliabh Luachra . When the family moved to Manchester in the 1950s
he taught a young Michael much of what he knew, including tunes not
in the common repertoire. Michael's CD The
Cat's Rambles (Veteran VT160CD) had great reviews.Tonight Michael is
joined by fiddle player Ed Barrett who
is featured on the CD

PLUS MARIANNE
McALEER Born into Kilburn's vibrant London-Irish
community, Marianne learned her earliest songs from her Cavan father, Jim
McPhillips. She has a passion for singing and is an award winner at both
the All Britain and All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil. She is also likely to lilt
if the need for a dance arises before the fiddler has reached the
crossroads!
