Well known summer visitors offer us a full evening’s music and song with a Scottish flavour. Maggie was born in Aberdeen and Dick grew up in Cornwall. Both came to the music in their early years, which has lead to a lifetime of performing - they joined together as a duo in 1987, and have travelled widely since. Maggie plays bodhran and harp and sings, Dick plays guitar, cittern, concertina and whistles, and also sings. Join us for a guaranteed entertaining evening!

| Sep 10 | Guest Night: Alistair Brown | Tickets £10 book | |
|
We are so lucky to have Alistair Brown as one of our regular singers at the club! Alistair was born in Scotland, and the Glaswegian attitude to life resonates in his stories and the songs he sings. Audiences at festivals across North America, Australia, New Zealand and the UK respond enthusiastically to his performances, which range across comic ditties, songs of struggle against temptation, odes to conviviality and songs of unashamed sentimentality, to outrageously funny stories from a master of the art.
