folk weekend oxford

So Pedal Folk, the cycling music tour I am doing late April is now all sorted and we will be ending our two wheeled jaunt by performing at Folk Weekend Oxford which I am super excited about.

I will be playing with Tim Graham and Katie Stone Lonergan on Sunday 21st April at Cafe 1071 at 3pm. There may be bubbly to celebrate the end of the tour.

On 5th April at Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub in Walthamstow, I am putting on a show called ‘I’ll Be Good To The Land; A History Of Land Rights And Protest In Folk Song And Story’ as part of the Community Food Growers Network spring events series.

I will be joined on the evening by many friends and a special guest called Hugh Lupton as we unpick the people’s history of this fair isle.

Hugh is one of the most brilliant and widely respected story tellers in the country. You can catch a sneaky peak of him below on youtube.

 

pedal folk – spring cycling tour of south england

Pedal Folk
So i love cycling and I love playing music.

This spring I am going to combine the two with a cycling tour joined by my fine musical friend Tim Graham and a lovely Irish violin playing lass called Katie.

We are doing shows in Bath, Bristol, Swindon and Oxford. I will put up more info on the shows in a bit but for the time being here is a sneaky peek of what our trip should look like:
