The Gerry Colvin Band

By now a firmly established and regular favourite at Uxbridge Folk Club. Gerry and his band will, by popular demand, again be taking over the whole evening (apart from an out of the ordinary floor spot!) giving us a much appreciated opportunity to listen to more from his extensive back catalogue. Here are a couple of tracks from his new album 'Past Present And Crescent' to keep you going in the meantime.

Yet another banger of a gig. This month we bring you Banter – "the world’s smallest big band" – Their sound blends English folk roots with bold, contemporary spirit, soaring harmonies, and infectious rhythm. This legendary British Folk band features Simon Care - melodeon, Nina Zella - keyboards & vocals, Tim Walker - drums, percussion, brass & vocals, & Mark Jolley - bass, fiddle, guitar & vocals. Together they have wowed crowds at Glastonbury and around Europe with their unstoppable live energy. Four fine musicians with traditional English roots, who enjoy stretching the limits. They are renowned for being bold and powerfully unique. They are in huge demand at many of the UK’s folk and roots festivals & internationally at European festivals. So we are privileged to be able to bring them to you.
