Fo'c'sle Programme May 2000


5 Carrie Jones

Carrie Jones, Welsh-born singer, songwriter and accordionist, well-known at one time as a duo with Adrian Postle, now a full time musician and increasingly going out on her own, based here and in Cornwall; also part of Sideline (Southern Lights musicians) and of Whiffle & Scratch Band.

During the 1998 Fieldworks Productions tour (inc Salisbury, Whitby and Southern Ireland) she acted and sang the part of 'Rose Ealey' and assisted with the musical direction of Mick Ryan's wonderfully evocative musical drama "The Voyage". In November that year, she performed with guitarist and songwriter Barry Wake as the support act to Rolf Harris in Tredegar, South Wales (her home town). In January 2000, Carrie was presented with the 1999 SCoFF Ron Myles Award, recognising that she has "made a significant contribution to the promotion of folk music and dance in the Southern Counties".

Folk on Tap accurately describes Carrie as having "a lilting Welsh voice" and "a (lovely) clear vocal style".

12 William Pint & Felicia Dale

Headed up from Puget Sound and Seattle with vocals, guitar, mandola, pennywhistles, percussion and hurdy-gurdy, William & Felicia bring a taste of the Pacific to this English seaport; you'll hear some landlubber's songs and very few shanties. "They feed on the ancient melodies and tastefully embellish them with their instrumental wizardry" said Rock'n'Reel - a good description, as enthusiastic members will remember from their last visit. Stunning harmonies and irresistible music.

19 Anything Goes

Saturday 20 May

Winchester Folk Day [Reduced Festival - details on Woodfidley web site].

26 Anything Goes

This is part of BBC Music Live and appears to be the only regular non-PA non-Special Guest Folk-Club 'open stage' event in the whole programme! Refugees especially welcome - come and find some good company and enjoyable music in informal surroundings.

"This event is organised by the Fo'c'sle Folk Club and is part of the UK festival supporting BBC Music Live. The BBC is the catalyst and host for the festival, however, it is not responsible for mounting this event."
