Monday 5th September promises to be no exception.<br />
<br />
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Anthony
John Clarke was born in Belfast on 18th October 1956. He started
songwriting at the age of nine inspired by the sixties but it was
only when he left Ireland and came to England that he pursued his
passion for writing with any vigour. Lacking belief in his work he
languished in the shadow of others for too long but the creator of
"Irish Eyes" and the beautiful "Seven In Ireland"
was destined to make a mark on the British contemporary music scene.
Living in Liverpool and being managed superbly by Sheelagh McGovern
for many years afforded Anthony John the opportunity of performing
his songs far and wide. Seven tours of the East Coast of the USA
ensured him a small but loyal following there which remains loyal to
him to this day. Bookings at clubs up and down the UK and recent
developments including the vocal collaboration with Elizabeth van de
Waal increased his popularity and made him an established folk name.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
There
are very few places in the UK and Ireland that Anthony John has not
played. His supporters are loyal and many, and the tributes he
receives from his peers bear witness to the talent and hard work of
one of the folk scene's nicest guys. He retains his reputation as one
of the top songwriters on the scene and his hard work and dedication
to his craft are a credit to him. For him, songwriting is indeed a
craft.</div>

<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>"The
songwriter has a responsibility. It's not enough to put a tune to
some words or some words to a tune. The song is a vehicle for a
notion that the writer has about something. If it wasn't, then the
song would have no beginning, middle or end. It's not complicated.
The notion is what starts the process and the completed song is the
fruition. It invites others into the notion, the idea, the feeling,
the celebration, the private moment. And if you can provide a laugh
or two along the way it gets my vote." </i><br />

4th July we welcomed Geoff Higginbottom back to the club. It proved to
be a wonderful evening from Geoff (as always!) who entertained the well
attended gathering with his wealth of traditional songs and music
presented in his own inimitable style. The audience responded by joining
in the great choruses and jovial banter!

Turner, is known as a pioneer of highly sophisticated English
concertina song<br />
accompaniments, stretching the boundaries of
traditional forms, with one<br />
of the best voices in the business.
He is a multi-instrumentalist, who also accompanies himself on the
cittern, and also plays mandolin and banjo.</span></div>

the last Monday in June in memory of John Collinge.<br />
<br />
John was a stalwart of
the club for many years, and enjoyed nothing better than a good
Shanty sing-a-long and songs of the sea.<br />
<br />
Here's a wee sample, from a Shanty Night a few years ago (I've tried to find one of Feet In Mouths doing the Club's unofficial anthem, 'The Little Pot Stove', but without success.) All the same, here are a few more Club stalwarts raising the rafters in style.<br />
<br />
So come to the Club on Monday and help do the same!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Our third guest night of 2016 will be this Monday, featuring the great <a href="http://www.stanleyaccrington.me.uk/">Stanley Accrington</a>!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="style231">"Stanley emerged from
the dark days of the late 1970's and has been terrorising the cultural world
ever since.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="style231">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.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="style231">Apart from the silly
and very silly material, Stanley has always been writing serious songs to
confuse the situation further. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="style231">Stanley has been
performing all over UK and occasionally beyond at a wide variety of locations
and events. The <span class="SpellE">pigeon</span>-hole to put this stuff in
is 'miscellaneous-<span class="SpellE">ish</span>'."</span></span><br />

The King of the Salford Bluesmen, Dai has a truly awe-inspiring repertoire of classic Mississippi Delta Blues classics, featuring tracks by Skip James, Charley Patton, Blind Willie Johnson, Papa Charlie Jackson, Charlie Poole, Clarence Ashley, Henry Thomas and many, many more.<br />

If you love the blues, a night with Dai is a must. Here's a little sample of what the man can do.<br />

Our first Guest Night of 2016 has been confirmed. Our guest will be <a href="http://www.jonbrindley.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jon Brindley</a>!<br />
<br />
<span class="style1">"My fiddle was handed down from my Grandma and I
could well play you one or two of my compositions. I was inspired to
take it busking all round Europe after reading Laurie Lee. I’ve explored
music through many forms. Celtic melodies, blues, contemporary folk,
country, rock, popular songs and traditional ballads can all be picked
out of my repertoire and it’s usually my own interpretations. Expect the
unexpected!"</span><br />

laughter and quality music.<br />

They became full time professional artists in April 1974. Their
experience and performance content has, over the years, taken them to
many varied venues at home and much further afield. They are very valued
friends of Swinton Folk Club and engaging with the audience is
important in each of Gary & Vera Aspey’s performances, when
presenting their songs (some as singer-song writers) combining the

<a href="http://www.bensands.com/" target="_blank">BEN SANDS</a> who hails <br />
from Northern Ireland -singer/songwriter/musician/
storyteller - all in one lovely character.<br />
<br />
Ben Sands lives in Newry, County Down, close to the mountains and the
sea and not far from the small farm where he and his six siblings grew
up in the 1950s and 1960s. <br />He sings songs - mostly his own. He
writes songs - about life and love and the ways of the world. Some are
whimsical, some are sad and some are very humorous indeed. In between
he tells stories, some of which are true!<br />He plays quite a few
instruments as well - guitar, banjo, mandolin, whistles, keyboards, and
fiddle - he has even been known to wrestle a tune from the uilleann
pipes.<br />Ben has been touring and recording with his sister Anne and brothers Tommy and Colum since the late 1960s. <br /><a href="http://www.sandsfamilyfolk.com/" target="_blank">“The Sands Family”</a>
have recently released their 17th album - "Home for Christmas" and a
splendid "live in concert" DVD . They have made countless television
appearances; performed extensively in Ireland, UK, Europe, Canada and
USA (including Carnegie Hall); shared microphones with such folk
luminaries as Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Tom Paxton, Harry Belafonte and
Arlo Guthrie ….....<br />These days the members of the “Family” still
greatly enjoy getting together for special tours and festival
appearances but are more likely to be found scattered far and wide,
pursuing very successful solo careers. <br />Ben writes and performs with a natural ease and his songs are finding their way into many repertoires and recording studios.<br />To
date, Ben has released five solo albums, including the highly acclaimed
“Take My Love WIth You”, (Spring Records, 2010) - its title track was
written for and sung to his daughter Kellie on her wedding day.<br />Ben's most recent album, "Live in Berlin" was recorded at a concert there in March 2013.

<br />
My apologies we've been so long without updating the website; last year I moved up to Liverpool so opportunities to attend Swinton Folk Club have been sadly few and far between. I'm still the webmaster here though until I find some poor devil to take over, so I will do my best to get things up to date!<br />
<br />
Last night, Monday 2nd Feb, saw a cracking gig in which Tom Travis & Dave Howard with Dai Thomas certainly entertained a
very receptive audience. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening of blue
grass and bon ami and banter.<br />
<br />
Our next guest night will be Monday 2nd March 2015, with Ian Goodyear and Tom Brown.<br />
<br />
I'll add more to the What's On section as news of further bookings comes in.<br />
<br />
Keep the faith!<br />
<br />

was down to everyone who attended, either performers, suppliers of the
wonderful array of food and the great atmosphere generated by the whole
company. It's the people, as well as the music, that make the Club what it is.</span><br />
