IAN W BROWN |
|
|
|
In 1999, when farming became as precarious as the record business, Ian answered the call for Britain’s farmers to diversify and went back into the music industry full time. Ian is a singer songwriter and guitarist from Hampshire. From Folk, Country, Dance to Pop and beyond. He has written songs for Fisherman’s Friends, Show Of Hands and many others beside. 2018 saw Ian return to the road to play a few of his songs that have graced the charts and so many more that haven’t. His finely-honed every man tales and self-deprecating musical outings are interspersed with tall tales from the music business, life, love and the universe. |

VICKI SWAN & JONNY DYER |
|
|
|
Vicki & Jonny effortlessly blend traditional material with contemporary interpretations whilst equally creating original self-penned tunes and songs that are entirely at home in the tradition. Out of this combination they have developed a sound that is both familiar and fresh. Vicki is well known for the traditional playing of Swedish bagpipes and runs workshops and teaches the nyckelharpa around the UK. Jonny’s outstanding technical ability coupled with a wide-ranging musical taste has made him a tireless and forceful musical innovator. Jonny has been singing and playing choral music, soul, jazz, playford and folk for as long as he can remember. He plays a myriad of instruments from guitar, sazouki and digital harpsichord to a “Bors Anders” Cow Horn. We may need a bigger stage tonight! |
