MACDARA YEATES
Macdara is a brilliant young singer from Dublin coming out of the Cobblestone following in the tracks of Lankum, Ye Vagabonds, Landless and Lisa O'Neill . Last year I saw him take the Traditional sessions at Sidmouth Folk Festival by storm and he has recently released his first album " Traditional Songs from Dublin" and is touring the UK this summer. His singing has been described as "This is no fireside singer crooning shyly to his shoes. Macdara possesses a rare power and projection " Mascara sings either unaccompanied or with a guitar . If you like traditional singing this is the gig for you .
​
Entrance tonight is £12

DUEA
We don't normally have an August gig but I have persuaded Duea to come to England specially ! I invited them because I saw them at Purbeck Valley Folk Festival last year and I thought their act was far and away the best act there. If you're in London come along for a great evening.
​​
Sisters Chiara and Sara are from the Varaita Valley in Piedmont. They are fiddle players who play with joy, brilliance and with uncanny sibling togetherness. .
​​​
DUEA's music has its roots in Italian traditional melodies and dance tunes, supported by their own original tradition based tunes. Check them out on

Entrance Tonight is £12

CLUB DEBRIS!
A warm welcome back to Club Debris who packed us out when they played here before. Five musicians with a wonderfully varied background playing high energy trad/folk music in brazenly major keys; no nonsense tunes (fiddles, accordion mandolin and keyboards) with a pro-nonsense attitude and a no nonsense step dancer!
​​
he band's music draws on the French Canadian tradition, with North American and Irish/Scottish influences; they were got together by fiddle player Maisie Greenwood, who fell in love with Quebecois music after visiting Montreal. The band also includes fiddle/accordion player Will Allen of Brown Boots fame, Duncan Menzies who has also played at Dulwich with Copper Viper and the Clementine Lovell Trio, keyboard player Will Chamberlain with Jess Collins on percussive dance .
​​
They are natural band for festivals given that most of their material is high energy dance music so we are particularly pleased to tempt them back to a folk club gig. It will be a great one. Get here early.
Entrance tonight is £15. ​
