Live music in Brigg gets a real boost next month with a
great new concert at The Angel.
Grimsby-based John has toured all over the world and
appeared at all the major festivals where his mellow voice and lilting guitar
and melodeon accompaniment have brought him wide acclaim. He has also written
songs for radio, TV and the stage, perhaps most memorably for ‘The Northern
Trawl’. His best known song is undoubtedly ‘Fiddler’s Green’, which has become
so much part of the folk fabric that it is assumed by many to be traditional.
Robin Garside hails from South Yorkshire
and has often performed alongside his old friend John. A master musician, he
plays fiddle, guitar, mandolin and banjo to accompany his singing, and
describes his style as blues, jazz and bluegrass as well as traditional folk. He
too has appeared at a host of major festivals and is a regular at the North’s
biggest folk festival, Whitby .
The pair are playing at The Angel Suite on Saturday 29th
November at 7.30pm . This promises to
be a terrific night, so don’t miss it. Tickets are £9 in advance (£10 on the
door) from Brigg Tourist Information and Scunthorpe Central Library.
