SS Shieldhall
Joint Concert with Woolston & Netley Folk Club
Lively fourpiece band (Jane & Amanda Threlfall, Martin Ellison and Roger Edwards). Recognised as brilliant ambassadors of English traditional songs and music, their lively and refreshing approach, coupled with considerable skill, passion and respect, has earned them a remarkable response from the traditional music establishment. Since their debut album "Morning Tempest" (September 2000), they go from strength to strength and Mike Harding's enthusiasm for their quality performance meant regular exposure on his Radio 2 Show and an immediate nomination for the Horizon Award for Newcomers in the 2001 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. "(They are) terrific performers of English traditional material," he declared. "A great delight to come across music that's got that edge of authenticity - very traditional, very English, but also wonderfully done." Their second album, "Gown of Green", launched at Sidmouth 2002, also got the Radio 2 treatment. CD sales remain strong, and regular postings on radio playlists throughout Europe and America, together with positive reviews from fROOTS, The Living Tradition and innumerable regional folk magazines, confirm them as "one of the brightest stars in the folk firmament". Joint Concert with Woolston & Netley FC. Tickets £5 advance only from either Club.
The SS Shieldhall is now at Berth 48, approached through Dock Gate 4. This gate (at the end of Queen's Park) has a security man on duty - just tell him where you want to go. 2nd right down Cunard Rd; Parking near the silos about 50 yards short of the boat.

Pamela Ward & Paul Cherrington have had to call off twice because of ilness - the more reason to welcome them now (3rd time lucky)! They have emerged back onto the national scene after confining themselves to Northampton while the family were young. A breath of fresh air with their wide variety of musical styles - ranging through folk, blues, ragtime, contemporary and unaccompanied traditional - Paul's guitar mastery and Pam's delightful melodic voice have captured audiences everywhere (including the BBC).
