QuickSilver gigs

 

On May 10th we are appearing at the CragRats Arts Centre in Holmfirth
as part of the Folk Festival Fringe. This is another matinee
performance and starts at 3pm. This is an ideal time to fit in with
the official Festival programme. Call the Arts Centre Box Office 01484
691323 for tickets.
The following Friday, the 16th, finds us making our debut at Wheaton
Aston Folk Festival. It's always exciting to break new ground and we
are both very much looking forward to the festival. Call 01785 840010
for details.
It seems sensible to also let you know of our other, non-QuickSilver
appearances when they occur. We both occasionally wear other musical
hats and on Saturday 24th Grant will be appearing solo at Chester Folk
Festival. Call 01244 319509 for more details.

CYRIL TAWNEY - LIVE RECORDINGS NEEDED

Recordings of Cyril Tawney's concert and club appearances are needed for inclusion in his Archive, which will be held by the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library at the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, and I wonder if any of your readers/listeners can help. I have already received several very useful items, but there are still some gaps to be filled, particularly by the many traditional songs in his repertoire which were not recorded commercially.

I'm also keen to have examples of his more quirky items, for my own pleasure and for the Archive - here are some examples to jog memories:

Music-hall songs
