CLUB DEBRIS! ​
​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Club Debris dance workshop at 4.30 (£10)
Folk Club gig at 7.30 (£15)
Workshop /gig dual entrance (£22)
​​
Going to a Club Debris gig has been described as "the most fun you can ever have in a folk club" and this is your chance to find out why! Because they are a phenomenal dance band, before the evening they are holding a percussive dance workshop at 4.30 led by their dancer the amazing Jessie Collins
​
Not surprisingly when Club Debris played here before they packed us out. Basically they play Quebecois music which is (mostly) dance music from northern France transported to Canada and modified by American and Irish/Scottish influences.
​​​​​
The band were got together by fiddle player Maisie Greenwood, who fell in love with Quebecois music after visiting Montreal. The band also includes fiddle/accordion player Will Allen of Brown Boots fame, Duncan Menzies who has also played at Dulwich with Copper Viper and the Clementine Lovell Trio, keyboard player Will Chamberlain with Jess Collins on percussive dance .
​​​​​
This is genuinely thrilling music ; you'll usually find them in much bigger venues or at festivals so we are really lucky to have them .Get here early!

5 October STEVE TURNER
​​
Steve is acknowledged as one of our very best concertina players and is a terrific singer of (mainly) traditional songs. Steve has been around for a long time but he is and has always been a great live performer -( Nancy Kerr is quoted as saying he did the best gig she's ever seen).
​​
Steve started playing in the 60s dropped out of performing in the 90s and returned in 2004. He has made nine albums of overwhelmingly traditional material . His albums are all highly praised ( "every album Turner makes is magnificent" Nygel Packett).
​
Steve doesn't play in London nearly often enough, which is puzzling as he is much in demand all over the country and abroad ( he has toured Australia and the USA this year already). He is widely respected and acknowledged as a real tradition bearer. Check him out on https://steve-turner.co.uk/

When Errol isn't playing in Jazz festivals he plays regularly in Brixton, so it's completely appropriate that he is the first blues act that we've booked. This is black British music with roots in Mississippi and New Orleans, Kingston and London. Widely regarded as the best British blues harp player expect ace harmonica, keyboards and double bass from the blues king of Brixton. Check him out at www.errollinton.com
