Wednesday 3rd December 2014 – Wildwood Kin £5

Here’s something new and exciting for you. This trio of females from Exeter (2 sisters and their cousin) will blow you away. The most stunning harmonies interspersed with lovely guitar and great rhythm from the cajon. Andy & Malc saw these quite by accident at another venue and booked them on the spot. They’re that good!

Wednesday 19th November – Mike Scott

Keeping up his reign as the most booked performer at Seend Acoustic Club, our old friend and everyone’s favourite Grandad returns to the top slot with a whole heap of new material as well as all his old classic singalong tunes. Prepare to weep, laugh and quite positively wet yourself!

Wednesday 5th November – Thornbridge

A welcome return for this fine trio who last appeared here in January 2011.

Thornbridge simply make beautiful music, taking inspiration from the folk song tradition throughout the British Isles as well as more contemporary sources. They write and arrange their own songs too. They’ve appeared at clubs and festivals from Minehead to Grimsby and Swanage to Penrith.  The line-up of Barbara and Andy Rusbridge and Guy Hawthorn bring three quite different voices together to make a distinctive “Thornbridge” sound that is rich and complex, injecting new life into old songs with expression, subtle harmony and gentle instrumentation.  

Support act this week is Si Barron.

Si Barron is a folk singer, songwriter, and superb self-taught musician based in Somerset. He has a deep relationship with English traditional music and a gift for turning time-honoured melodies into foot stomping anthems on guitar, dulcimer or pedal organ.

Wednesday 15th October – My Sweet Patootie

Complete with tall tales & corny jokes, My Sweet Patootie is an acoustic roots group from rural Ontario, Canada, bringing twining vocal harmonies, monstrous finger-style guitar, fiddle, percussion and abundant charisma together in one perfect package.Complete with tall tales and corny jokes,

My Sweet Patootie delivers a modern-day Music Hall show that Driftwood Magazine describes as “two parts exemplary musicianship, one part vaudeville comedy”. Terry Young, Sandra Swannell and Bradford Nowak are skilled performers using a ditzy-like-a-fox approach to their craft. Their upbeat show is a carnival ride with good-time finger-snapping tunes and carefully placed heartfelt ballads.

Support this week from local accomplished guitarist and singer Graham Ball.
