Fo'c'sle Programme November 2005

4 Lynne Heraud & Pat Turner

The owners of very attractive voices, Lynne and Pat say they have "trespassed, touted, marshalled, organised and performed at Clubs and Festivals in careers spanning two millennia"! To be found anywhere between Whitby and Cornwall, not to mention the 2005 Voice Tour in Bournemouth, they offer a wide range of songs - traditional, Victorian, Edwardian (no they're not that old), contemporary, rude, silly and self-penned - all sung with their unique blend of harmony and cheeky humour!

Their latest album "The Moon Shines Bright" is available now on WildGoose Records. Featuring traditional and original works including The Moon Shines Bright, Autumn Is Down, There’ll Never Be Peace Until Jamie Comes Home, Odd Sock, Where The Seeds Of Love Grow, Cupid’s Garden, Man In Grey, Fair Maid Of Islington, Regret, The Golden Wheat, Spanish Dancer, My Bonnie Bonnie Boy, Bright Fine Gold, Bonny Labouring Boy, No More, I Just Want To Be Like The Other Girls.

During the 1970's Lynne sang as part of a successful duo with Sue Ashby when they performed at many of the major clubs and festivals in the United Kingdom.

In the early 1980s she sang with Frank Lee and John Lambert as Tom, Dick and Harry. Lynne is also one half of a very successful duo with Keith Kendrick which has appeared at The Fo'c'sle. They released a highly acclaimed CD Stars in my Crown in 2001.

Pat sang for six years with the harmony group Filigree with Pete Cunningham and Chris and Roger Jeffreys. They performed at most of the major festivals, recorded two albums and even released a single!

As well as guitar, Pat plays English concertina and has been know to run the occasional spoons workshop! In april 2004 Pat and Lynne released Parallel - their first CD as a duo which has been very well received by the local and national folk press.

18 Malcolm Bishop

One of those quiet under-valued souls, well-known in the Bournemouth area (was resident at the Free Xpress Folk Club and its successor the New Xpress) singer/guitarist Malcolm has performed as support act to Jez Lowe and Vin Garbutt (among others) as well as performing solo at many Clubs in the SCoFF area (south of England). He delighted audiences at Solent Folk Festival (and Folk Under Aries previously) as well as at Talbot Village Festival, Wimborne Folk Festival and recently at 2005 Fylde Folk Festival in the prestigious Cabaret Club. His musical singing and ‘looks-easy' guitar arrangements are underpinned by early admiration for Gordon Lightfoot, Tom Paxton and Ralph McTell and later for Mike Silver and Jack Hudson and his material ranges widely from ‘Clare to Here' and ‘Affair on 8th Avenue' to ‘Circle of Steel'.

Malcolm was at Solent Folk Festival Sunday Concert in 2003 when he brought along Jack Hudson, another subsequent Fo'c'sle Guest on the Shieldhall, where Malcolm is seen above left in support). His personally produced CD recorded live at the Blue Boar encompasses 'If You Could Read my Mind', Second Cup of Coffee', 'Sit Down Young Stranger', 'Affair on Eighth Avenue', 'Clare to Here', Circle of Steel' and 'Barges'.
