Next club night – Friday January 2

Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer

We haven’t had Vicki and Jonny at the club for many years, so it’s great that they are starting off the new year for us. They a class act who effortlessly blend traditional material with contemporary sounds. Their performances showcase new interpretations of old songs alongside original self-penned tunes and new contemporary songs that are entirely at home in the tradition.  You’ll be intrigued the haunting sounds of the nyckelharpa, amazed one of the worlds earliest communication devices: in this case at the cow horn, and hear some bagpipes that don’t come from Scotland. Vicki and Jonny’s evenings are packed with toe tapping tunes and songs of love, death, dancing  and dressing up  all presented with sparkling gentle humour, lots of smiles and skilful musicianship. There is more information on their website HERE.
