Fo'c'sle Programme May 2004


7 Craig; Morgan; Robson

Moira Craig, Sarah Morgan & Carolyn Robson.

Moira, Sarah and Carolyn join together in what is far more than the usual three part harmony group. Between them, they have a vast repertoire of songs and ballads from England, Scotland, Ireland and America and their performances always feature a number of solo songs. They are also all very experienced communicators! When they join forces, their voices complement each other superbly, and they can all sing lead and harmony with equal fluency. The end result is a magical evening of individual, duo and trio items presented with warmth, sincerity, humour and of course, top quality singing.

21 Bob Whitley

Bob Whitley singer/songwriter from Poole playing guitar, mandolin, mandola, tenor banjo and harmonicas. Bob has written poetry from a young age and took up playing the mandolin to accompany his words, making the transition to a songwriter and developing his own style of fingerpicking the mandolin. He then progressed to the mandola, guitar and more recently the tenor banjo. Bob adds harmonicas to some songs playing a single note melodious accompaniment. He writes serious and humorous songs on a wide range of contemporary and historical themes with traditional folk music influences particularly in songs on the mandolins using modal chords. Bob used to run the Blue Boar Roots Music Club in Poole and still guests there, as well as being heard around the area with his laid-back and enviably skilful instrumental style and singing voice. Bob recently increased his repertoire of traditional material (after it was pointed out to him that he was rather good at that too). Heard at Solent Folk Festival in 2003, he made quite a hit and we're sure he'll provide an enjoyable and satisfying evening.
