Waveney Folk Club - What's On

The Medlars were formed in the late 2000’s and were driven by the desire to play and perform tunes and songs from the English folk tradition. They aim to revisit and create new arrangements of classic English folk songs with a twenty-first century feel. With original musical influences remaining these compositions have expanded drawing upon ideas from within and outside the folk music tradition.
The Medlars have performed at a variety of venues and events, e.g. folk festivals, and folk clubs and related venues. They are well known and highly regarded in and around their home town of Colchester. They are a talented trio consisting of Emma Hardy, fiddle and vocals, Tom Hardy, guitar and vocals, and Alie Barnes , lead vocals. The Waveney Folk Club looks forward to seeing and hearing the Medlars once again at the club this evening.

 

John and Pauline can be found singing their original songs in folk venues around East Anglia. They were recently chosen to support the British top folk band,Show of Hands, when they appeared at the Pavilion Theatre Cromer.
They always enjoy playing their songs in front of a live audience, and without doubt audiences like to hear and see them perform.
They started writing and performing songs when they first came together in 1979. Their early musical influences are indeed varied. This situation helps them to write songs and tunes particularly from the British and American traditional music field. Additionally influences from jazz or music hall are also present within their compositions.
John and Pauline enjoy writing songs about a range of subjects, always of course preferring they songs to tell a good story; very much in keeping with the folk song tradition. The Waveney Folk Club looks forward to hearing the songs performed by John and Pauline when they make their appearance at the club on the 11th April.
