Chris Foster is a master of his trade recently described as “one of the finest singers & most thoughtful, inventive guitar accompanists of English folk songs.” He sings mostly traditional songs accompanied by his distinctive incisive, intricate guitar playing. Writing in fROOTS Colin Irwin wrote “Chris Foster merits legend status, one of the very best in the second wave of the Brit folk revival, in the way he modernised & invested traditional songs with inventive guitar arrangements & potent vocal delivery.” Chris Foster will give us two forty-five minute spots and the rest of the evening is filled by members of the audience performing a song or tune if they wish.
Everyone is welcome, especially if you'd like to sing or play. We mostly sing and play traditional music from the British Isles, but we enjoy other styles as well. We always start off with some English dance tunes for anyone with an instrument to join in.
