Graham Dixon continues to be a great ambassador for the fiddle music of North East England. His books on Robert Whinham and James Hill are among my favourites and I would recommend them to anybody. He is also a lovely, lovely man. So when he asked me to play some of James Hill’s tunes to…

Next outing with George! Sat 1st Feb at the The Davy Lamp Folk Club, Arts Centre Washington.SATURDAY 1st of FEBRUARY
George Welch & Stewart Hardy
Together for more than ten years, George & Stewart have been delighting audiences with the characteristic spontaneity which is the hallmark of their unashamedly shambolic (but in a good way) show.
George’s hilarious stories give way to lilting melodies, driving tunes and moving songs, delivered with a baritone voice that has the richness of molasses.
Once you have heard George perform his songs, accompanied by his own guitar playing and Stewart’s fiddle, you will not be left in any doubt that the success of this highly entertaining duo is built on solid musical foundations.
The Davy Lamp Folk Club.
Just for your information:
There are often other events in the Arts Centre at the same time as the Davy Lamp so the car park is full at times. There is other parking available nearby. Please come early. You can always have a bite to eat in the Courtyard Bar.
Door opens at 19:00 or 7PM in old money
