About this event

Damien Barber with Mike Wilson at the Cutty Wren is on Tuesday 13 July 2027 at Borough Park Bowling Club, Redcar, with doors at 19:15. Tickets start at £11, including the booking fee.

MIKE WILSON & DAMIEN BARBER Nominated Best Duo in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards A proud Norfolk man and heavily influenced by such earlier Norfolk singers as Walter Pardon and Peter Bellamy, Damien is a stylish and distinctive singer, be it unaccompanied or alongside his guitar or concertina. Though he has now resided for some time in West Yorkshire, his roots remain firmly planted in his beloved East Anglia. Mike Wilson is the youngest member of the inimitable Wilson Family, the powerful Teesside singing siblings who have raised the rafters at many a festival or folk club event over the years. His musical heritage remains emphatically that of the North East – an evocative mixture of rural and industrial folk songs, both traditional and modern. Together, Damien and Mike share an incredibly rich repertoire of traditional songs from around the country, as well as drawing on the work of modern folk writers such as Peter Bellamy, Ewan MacColl and Mike Waterson.

Steve says, “Last Call is an album I’m very proud of and in my opinion contains some of my best work.” “...great stuff...great fun, wonderful playing and top songs, what more do you want from an evening.” Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 “The more you listen, the more there is to discover.” Bob Harris “A great narrator on top form.” **...
