Join Chloe, Sophy, David and Stewart in their spiritual home at St Mary’s for the launch of their debut CD, “Bottle Bank Band”. After much acclaimed appearances at the Scots Fiddle Festival and Fiddles on Fire, the band of four fiddlers return once again to the venue where they played their first full concert, this time to launch their long awaited first CD. It promises to be a fun packed evening with an eclectic range of music, firmly rooted in the traditions of the North East of England.

After a very successful Launch Tour for their debut CD, join Chloe, Sophy, David and Stewart in a much anticipated concert in the wonderful Embleton Village Hall. The band takes its name from the one-time residence of Tyneside’s most famous fiddling son, James Hill. Their repertoire is firmly rooted in but by no means limited to the North East of England – a region which enjoys a centuries old tradition of fiddle playing. Individually the members of Bottle Bank Band have all established reputations as outstanding musicians. By coming together in this combination, they create an exciting and exhilarating musical landscape: the glorious sound of four fiddles, rich in harmony and captivating arrangements, is underpinned by an instinctive understanding of traditional playing, which gives voice and space to the musicality and talent of the individual players.

I will be joining Lee Maddison at this relaxed and informal venue for an evening of Lee’s wonderful songs.

SOLD OUT – The official launch of the new Maddison’s Thread CD, “Sixty Minutes an Hour” will happen over two nights in the cozy and intimate surroundings of the Hartlepool Cricket Club. Friday 6th and Saturday 7th January 2017, doors 7 pm.
