St Patrick’s Night Celebration
March 12, 2025
7:30 pm Free entry
As always, we’ll be celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in true Irish style. Watch this space for news of the great Irish musicians who’ll be crossing the sea to come and play for us, along with a few home-grown Irish afficionados. All curated by our own resident (half) Irishman, Brian Burke.
John Ward Trio + Vic Lennard
March 26, 2025
7:30 pm Free entry
We’re delighted to welcome the John Ward Trio to the club. Many of you will remember that John and Lynne played a fantastic set for us last May, supporting Odette Michell, and we were super-keen to have them back. This time, we have the full trio, who deliver powerful 3-part harmonies, with acoustic guitar, bodhran, harmonica, double bass, mandolin, accordion and recorder to bring a fuller sound to John’s excellent songs.
The Trio also draws on its wider repertoire of traditional and contemporary folk tunes and songs, many of them suited to communal singing. The Trio’s performances are authentic and heartfelt, engaging audiences with their choice of material, thoughtful arrangements, versatility and humour, not to mention John’s blistering bodhran solos, which all blend to delight and entertain folk audiences in intimate venues and bigger stages alike.
Vic Lennard writes with a passion about everyday topics that listeners relate to, with playing
styles that have been compared to a number of classic acoustic guitarists such as Paul Simon,
James Taylor and John Martyn. He covers songs by artists as diverse as Marc Cohn and
Coldplay, with intriguing back stories accompanying each song.
