FULL 2024-2025 PROGRAMME HERE
NEXT EVENING – FRIDAY FEBRUARY 7
7.45 for 8.00
Causton & Walker
We look forward to welcoming Causton and Walker. An experienced duo who combine songs and instrumentals. 2024 saw Bryan and Penni undertaking their first tour as a duo for many years, after spending their time concentrating on playing in bands Tin Giants and The Boxwood Chessmen. Fuelled by Penni McLaren Walker’s guitar work and beautiful voice which has been described as “a voice to be heard by the ocean“, Bryan’s Causton’s exquisite mandolin and bouzouki playing are the perfect accompaniment. Causton and Walker are fast growing a following throughout the country.
Our Featured guest for this month is Phil Lyons, Colchester-based guitarist and singer of traditional and contemporary songs.
Phil is a regular visitor to Hadleigh as a solo artist and also as a member of Bof! and Rosewood. Here he is singing the seasonal Halsway Carol to the tune of Nigel Eaton’s Halsway Schottische.
Hadleigh Folk and Acoustic Music Nights are normally, though not always, held on the first Friday of the month – from September to June. Address:
The Ansell Centre, Market Place, Hadleigh IP7 5DL.
We feature folk music in the broadest sense of the word. In addition to “traditional” and “contemporary” folk music, you can expect to hear hints of pop, country, jazz or even classical music.
