Waveney Folk Club - What's On

Local folk performers and visitors entertain on an evening before Valentines Day so performers are encouraged to play a romantic song or tune. Expect a wide range of styles but hopefully the romantic song choice will be a constant theme of the evening. Singers Nights are always popular so come along to perform or simply to listen to the music on offer.
There will be no door charge tonight just a collection to cover the cost of hiring the hall.

 

Silmor are a talented five piece folk band. Silmor enjoy playing Folk, Americana, and original songs and tunes. You can expect to hear foot tapping reels, jigs, polkas, and waltzes performed by this Suffolk based folk band. Silmor have gained a reputation for playing lively songs and tunes, which are always well received when they perform one of their brilliant gigs in folk clubs, village halls and traditional pub settings. Whether it’s Celtic tunes, folk rock or Americana the audience are never disappointed as they get into the foot-tapping grove generated by this traditional folk music band. Yes Silmor demonstrate their musicianship as they skilfully play a wide range of musical instruments.
The Waveney Folk Club looks forward to the return of Silmor on the 27th February.

 

The Medlars were formed in the late 2000’s and were driven by the desire to play and perfect 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, folk clubs and related venues. They are a talented trio well known in and around their home town of Colchester. With guitar, fiddle and vocals they create a distinctive folk music sound, and they are always very popular at the Waveney Folk Club.

 

John and Pauline can be found singing their original songs in folk venues around East Anglia. They have also supported top folk band Show of Hands.
They always enjoy performing their songs in front of a live audience; and without doubt audiences like to hear and see them perform. They started writing and performing their songs in 1979. Their early musical influences are indeed varied.
Writing songs and tunes particularly with influences from the British and American traditional music community. Additionally influences from jazz and music hall are present within their compositions. John and Pauline enjoy writing songs about a wide range of subjects. Always of course preferring their songs to tell a good story, very much in keeping with the folk song tradition. The Waveney Folk Club looks forward to the return visit from John and Pauline Pearce.
