English Folk Club Night, featuring Gwillym Davies (Special Event)
When
21 Jul 2005
8:00 PM - 10:30 PM
Location
Home of Dennis Cook, Oberlin, OH
Dennis and Judy Cook invite FSGW members and friends to their home in Laurel, Md., to another English Folk Pub night, featuring Gwilym Davies, the singer of English songs with the Welsh name. He's from Hampshire, and lives in Gloucestershire.He is an experienced singer of traditional songs and, when not singing unaccompanied, accompanies himself on melodeon, concertina, banjo or guitar. For more than 30 years, Gwilym has been tracking down and recording traditional singers, and more that half his repertoire is based on songs from those singers. He sings a large number of songs from the English traveller (gypsy) community which he has learnt first hand. Most of his English songs come from the south and south-west of England, and he also sings a number of songs from his collecting trips to the USA.What's an English Folk Club Night? Expect a house concert with the flavor of an English folk club at a pub, soda and crisps (that's "chips" in American), floor singers (contact Judy in advance if you want to be one of them), even a raffle at the interval (that's "intermission" in American). Bring your own beer, preferably at an appropriate temperature.
