Our third guest night of 2016 will be this Monday, featuring the great Stanley Accrington!
"Stanley emerged from
the dark days of the late 1970's and has been terrorising the cultural world
ever since.
He has written
hundreds of songs in a range of styles on a vast rake of subjects. There are
old-style songs on current happenings and modern style songs on ancient
events. There are poems, pastiches, parodies, and possibly anything.
Apart from the silly
and very silly material, Stanley has always been writing serious songs to
confuse the situation further.
Stanley has been
performing all over UK and occasionally beyond at a wide variety of locations
and events. The pigeon-hole to put this stuff in
is 'miscellaneous-ish'."
Here's a little sample:
Welcome to Swinton Folk Club, established 1972! Due to circumstances beyond our control, we're currently unable to update the Club's old website, hence this blog to share news of forthcoming events.
