Forest Folk - a great folk club in Hampshire
 What's on: Monday 10 June, 8 pm - Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys  The group features all–star pickers and singers, trading instruments and styles every song. The Rhythm Boys are Gordie MacKeeman (fiddle, acoustic guitar, feet percussion, vocals), Peter Cann (guitars, banjo, vocals), Thomas Webb (guitars, bass, banjo, steel guitar, vocals), and Jason Burbine (bass, percussion, guitar, vocals). Gordie lives up to his nick-name, "Crazy Legs," hoofing with abandon, or sawing out a solo perched on top of the doghouse bass. Crowds love them everywhere they go, thanks to Gordie's charm (and flying fiddle and feet) and their unique blend of just about every roots genre going. They love it all, old and new, and put on a variety show that has the fans dancing, laughing and singing along. (www.gordiemackeeman.com) Saturday 22 June, 11.30 am to 11 pm - Forest Folk Day Our Forest Folk Day
takes place on Saturday 22 June, starting at
11.30 am and going through to 11 pm. The day will start with song and music sessions, moving on to feature spots
during the afternoon, and an acoustic concert with J C & Angelina Grimshaw
at 7.30 pm. Real ales and refreshments
available throughout the day - free entry with jug collections. J C (John-Claude) Grimshaw is a song writer/multi-instrumentalist, who plays guitars, mandolins, harmonica, ukulele and Hawaiian lap guitar with a deep rooted passion. J C grew up on the Isle Of Wight where from a young age he found himself in the company of artists, poets and musicians of all genres of music, from seaside holiday entertainers through to reclusive old time jazzers and rock stars! With his sister Angelina, J C formed a successful and now long standing duo act, playing acoustic instruments and delivering a high energy, original show, largely self-penned. Their emphasis is old time jazz, folk, country and blues, and heart felt ballads.
