Thursday 27 February, 2020 We are pleased to introduce our new ‘Double Deal’ evenings.  Peter Atkins David Phillips These sessions are aimed at offering our own members a chance to step into the spotlight in a ‘professional’ capacity. Each performer will be asked to perform for half an hour. | Peter Atkins is a singer/songwriter who has
been on the local folk scene for over 40 years.
He accompanies himself with a guitar but is equally at home singing
unaccompanied. Expect a dry sense of
humour! Peter will perform during the first half of the evening.
David
Phillips chooses his material by two criteria;
firstly does he like it? Secondly can he play it? A lot of stuff gets over the first hurdle but
not the second! Despite this he somehow
manages to scrape together enough English folk, Americana and interpretations
of classic pop songs to perform at various local folk clubs, festivals and pubs and even gets asked back again! They’re all there: traditional and contemporary; melody
and harmony, passion and rhythm - if only he could remember
where he put them! David will perform during the second half of the evening. |
