I think he’s a really, really fine guitarist and an even finer interpreter of traditional and contemporary folk songs. The Living Tradition Magazine calls him: 'A true aficionado of the genre'! GRAEME KNIGHTS & HEATHER CHAPMAN 31st October 2019 8-00 pm Graeme is an extremely powerful singer, who for many years, sang with the late great Johnny Collins, then with Johnny & Jim Mageean then, after Johnny's death he sang with Jim. They sang twice at FATD in 2013 & 2015. None of this takes away from the fact that Graeme is an extremely fine solo singer in his own right, he is also highly amusing as a performer! However, that said, the opportunity to give him the chance to sing with his daughter Heather was too good for him, or us, to miss! She has a lovely voice and "folkie" blood flows in her veins!"BORDER CROSSING" 14th November 2019 8-00 pm "Border Crossing" are a local Kent group, not to be confused with the London based group of the same name. The name is due to the fact that the original line up of Dean Tanio and John Matthews had one who was Scottish, John, and one who was not, Dean! They have since been joined by Sean Wholihan, I hope I have his name correct! Dean was a regular at the club but had a long way to travel and he then teamed up with John and they were occasional floor singers with us and finally I have managed to give them a long overdue booking!
Chrissie, Sue and Karen are well known to the club, they are members, and I am delighted that they will be our guests in December! CHRISTMAS DINNER 12th December 2019 8-00 pm More detail to follow.
