Toby Shaer, Archie Moss & Jack Warnock - LIVE IN CAMBRIDGE

NCI Club · Cambridge

A brand-new trio formed by three seasoned session musicians, this collaboration between Archie Moss, Toby Shaer, and Jack Warnock was born out of a shared love for traditional music from the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe. Since meeting in 2019, the trio have established themselves not only as dynamic performers but also as sensitive re-interpreters of the tradition. Each artist is well respected in their own right: Archie Moss (accordion) is a BBC award-winning musician, a celebrated composer, and one of the most in-demand button accordion players in the UK, has performed alongside Seth Lakeman, Sam Sweeney, and Eliza Carthy. Toby Shaer (fiddle, flute, whistles, cittern) is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer from the southeast of England. Over the past ten years, he has toured extensively across Europe, Australia, and China with revered artists such as Cara Dillon, McCusker, McGoldrick, Doyle, and, alongside Archie Moss, with Sam Kelly & the Lost Boys. Jack Warnock (guitar, vocals) hails from Co. Derry in Ireland. An award-winning guitarist and singer, he is also an avid Gaeilgeoir (Irish speaker), performing songs in both Irish and English. His compositions and rep...

Terry Hiscock + Tim Mellor - LIVE IN CAMBRIDGE

NCI Club · Cambridge

When he’s not touring with folk-rockers Hunter Muskett, Terry performs acoustic songs from the band’s repertoire both old and new and is now a sought-after musician on the circuit in his own right. Having played up and down the land in countless clubs and festivals, he has accumulated a wealth of stories and anecdotes to delight his audiences yet it is the performances of Terry’s own songs which stay long in the memory. Often accompanied by Rog Trevitt from Hunter Muskett on guitar and mandolin, these two evoke both the golden age of folk music in the late ‘60s while performing songs relevant to today. Tim Mellor is a skilled Northumbrian piper, singer and guitarist. His repertoire of songs and tunes breathes new life into traditional music from the UK and beyond. As a founding member of the Black Fen Folk Club, it's a real treat to hear Tim for an extended set for the first time in a number of years.

Aidan Thorne and Jason Ball, David Ian Roberts

The Globe at Hay · Hereford

Aidan Thorne & Jason Ball Invoke nostalgia, and rekindle a memory of a time and/or place. The pieces are engulfed in a fog of guitar ambience and measured 6 string bass textures. Deeply rooted in jazz, the style carefully glides between written and improvised elements. Some of the compositions were realised and refined from recordings of loose jam sessions. One may hear nods to influences from 70’s ECM records such as Terje Rypdall or Bill Frizell. "A fantastic deep dive into lesser-known Welsh folk tunes” Jude Rodgers, The Guardian “An unforgettable musical experience” **** Ian Mann, Jazzmann Blog “a beguiling instrumental set" - Tim Cumming, Songlines David Ian Roberts will be performing a new set of unreleased instrumental electric guitar pieces ahead of recording his new album. Owing as much to Jeff Buckley's solo guitar work as to folk influences Nick Drake or Bert Jansch, Roberts uses the simplicity of just a telecaster and a reverb pedal to intimate but dazzling effect. "A quiet masterpiece” Mark Radcliffe BBC Radio 2 "A performance of astounding artistry - guitar patterns that match even the legacies of a Nick Drake or Sufjan Stevens" RnR "Quietly Exceptional" U...
