Fiveways Folk 1st Birthday
Venue: Fiveways PubTown: Charminster
Date: 23/10/13
Website: http://www.fivewaysfolk.co.uk/
Hidden away in an upstairs room of the Fiveways Pub in Charminster, Bournemouth, is a little gem of a folk club, Fiveways Folk. Running on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of each month they regularly attract top quality local performers, & even some national names from further afield.
From 'Happy Birthday' to 'Harmony in the Walls', tonight's celebration of their first year gave a warm welcome to many talented musicians, & an appreciative audience too.
They introduced a special guest during the evening, internationally renowned shanty singer Tom Lewis, just back from a festival in the The Netherlands. Also doing sets for them were Pat O'Dea, Angus Todd, & club new comers Richard & Lesley Quayle. Polly Morris did a feature spot & had us singing harmonies, laughing, & just enjoying her unique songs.
In the second half, Sugarhand Dave & Carolan Burke gave us a bit of celtic music with a twist, followed by the headliners, the Walker Broad Band. Was it folk, blues, jazz?........ it was all of those & more! Such a fantastic finish to a great night.
Anyone attending Fiveways Folk is assured of a friendly atmosphere & an enjoyable range of music. Certainly well worth a visit!
