NEXT EVENING – FRIDAY NOVEMBER 1st
7.45 for 8.00
HUNTER MUSKETT
Hunter Muskett is an acoustic/electric trio playing distinctive original songs in a folky, bluesy sometimes Americana vein. Formed in 1968, the band played at home and abroad until 1974 and produced two, now collectable, albums: Every Time You Move with bassist Danny Thompson, and the Keith Relf produced Hunter Muskett. Doug Morter went on to carve out a career as the ‘go-to’ vocalist/guitarist of the folk-rock scene performing with the likes of: Magna Carta, Albion Band, Maddy Prior, Michael Chapman and Jerry Donahue. Since resuming touring in 2010, Hunter Muskett have released three further critically acclaimed albums of new material: That Was Then This Is Now, Unafraid and Sober and Roll On. They have played for us in Hadleigh on two previous occasions and always gone down a storm. We’re lucky and privileged to have them again. One of the band, Terry Hiscock is a regular favourite at our club. There is more information here huntermuskett.com
Our Featured guests for the evening are Breton singer Gwendal Moële, who you will know from Bof! and Jane Ward, an accomplished accordionist who have joined forces to perform baroque and classical songs from European countries. This will be a first for Hadleigh and a very different kind of music for us.
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.
