We are delighted that our guests on 5th March will be another hugely talented returning duo: Celandine. As far back as pre-Covid time (remember that?) we saw Celandine perform at a mini folk festival at the First Site gallery in Colchester. We were struck by their lovely harmonies and arrangements. We thought then that we must book them sometime, but for one reason or another (not the least of which was Covid) it didn't happen for a long time. When we finally managed to book them for the first time at our May 2024 Club night they won the hearts (and ears!) of our audience. We now eagerly anticipate their return.Celandine consists of Carys, Rosemary, and a guitar (unnamed). Both classically-trained vocalists, Carys discovered folk and folk-rock after being dragged to a Fairport convention gig back in 1996. Rosemary advertised for someone to sing folk songs with in late 2010, and didn’t realise what she was letting herself in for until it was much too late. They perform their own arrangements of traditional folk songs, originals (mostly written by Carys) and a few covers. Not only are they superb musically, they are also quirky and highly entertaining. Carys' tale (or should that be tail?) of 'Max The Pirate Cat' is just one example! This is definitely an evening not to be missed.
The first part will start with a number of floor spots (which MUST be pre-booked) followed by Celandine's first 45 minute set. After a short interval we'll have one or two more floor spots to warm up then Celenadine's second 45 minute set.
Don't miss this great duo.
