Whats on at the Folk Club:

7th July 2010

Change from programme: Tim Van Eyken couldn't make it so we have Belshazzars Feast instead - not a bad alternative!

Belshazzars Feast with support from Little Sister

“Paul Hutchinson and Paul Sartin play like no-one else you've ever heard. Their music is breathtaking and wickedly inventive and the between-tunes interchange as intelligent and hilarious as the music. But don't let me give you the impression they're a lightweight comedy act: they finish the set with a haunting piece of oboe and accordion magic which has the audience spellbound.” – Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2

Heres what Peter Arnold thought of Little Sister - "The girls takle klezmer, celtic and English folk with aplomb and bring something new to each genre. The arrangements are simple but effective, the instrumentals exude class and the vocals and harmonies set your spine atingling. Don't miss and chance to hear this brilliant young group."

Doors open: 7:30pm

Tickets: £10, £7 students

A night of Americana: The Toy Hearts and Dan Walsh

Since the release of their first album in 2006 and having just finished their third Birmingham based bluegrass and swing outfit, The Toy Hearts, have gained an enviable reputation as one of the UK's hottest acts on the emerging acoustic scene.

As if thats not enough we've combined this with Dan Walsh, who is touted as the finest banjo player in the UK: an eclectic and exciting musician with a unique style taking in folk, funk, bluegrass, jazz, rock and even Arabic. Need we say more?

Doors open: 7:30pm
