GUEST NIGHT
MONDAY 27TH JULY 8-00PM £7
COHEN BRAITHWAITE-KILCOYNE
Our special guest for June is 2 time Radio 2 Folk award noninee Cohen Braithwaite-Klcoyne.
Described in The Living Tradition as ‘captivating, bold and striking’, Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne is at the forefront of his generation of English folk musicians as both a powerful and commanding singer and a masterful player of the Anglo concertina and melodeon.
Cohen’s music is rooted in the English folk tradition, celebrating the age-old musical heritage of this broad and diverse land. Traditional ballads, songs and tunes form the basis of Cohen’s material, but with a smattering of early music, ragtime, and music hall thrown in for good measure along with regular forays into the music of the Caribbean. We look forward to having him as our special guest at Runcorn Folk Club
Very sad news of the passing of Christine Hanslip who passed away peacefully at home on Monday 23rd July.
Christine along with her husband Roger was a founder member of the Prospect/ Runcorn folk club. A lovely singer and guitarist she often accompanied many club singers with her guitar playing and mainly as a duo with long-time friend Carol Coxon producing beautiful harmonies together. A talented musician also on piano or accordion and very funny writer of some great monologues. One of the loveliest ladies you could ever meet, always with a smile and nothing phased her. She will be sadly missed by lots of people that have had the pleasure of knowing her and there will be a very big hole left on the folk scene that she has graced with her presence for so many years. Tony & Anne Toy.
