Ruth Notman Trio
21 Nov 08
location: Ring 'o' Bells, Nailsea
Ruth Notman is causing quite a stir. She is just 19 and from Nottingham. A finalist in the Radio 2 folk awards in 2007 she was quickly signed to a record label. On stage she is bubbly, at ease, enjoys a joke and likes to banter. In addition to her wonderful voice (which has been compared with Sandy Denny) she plays piano and guitar. The trio includes the versatile Saul Rose (melodeon: Waterson: Carthy and Whapweasel) and sublime cello from Hannah Edmonds.
Ruth's pure and powerful voice conveys stories of love, loss, adventure and heartache, weaving through simple stripped down ballads and soaring above complex arrangements.
"A new voice in British Folk" The Independent - ALBUM OF THE WEEK"

"Hard to see how she can fail." ****Mojo
"What sets Notman apart is the disarming beauty of her voice" ***** Rock n Reel
This is a night not to be missed!

The Johnny Coppin Band
19 Dec 08
location: Ring 'o' Bells, Nailsea
We put on this event two years ago and it proved so popular many people have asked me to repeat it. West Country’s Johnny Coppin is well known for his song writing and his association with Laurie Lee. His winter concert tours include stories, songs and carols which recall days gone by and gets everyone in the mood for the festive season. The beautiful environment and acoustic of Holy Trinity Church adds another dimension to the evening.
For a treat we will be serving free mulled wine and mince pies.
Its simply couldn’t get any better.

Fougere Rouge Christmas Bash
20 Dec 08
location: St james' hall, Wimscombe
Every year we hold a barn dance at St James’ Hall, Winscombe, in aid of Macmillan nurses and in memory of one of the band's founders, Ken Redfern. It’s always a riot and it always makes a lot of money for a very good cause.
Come along and join in the fun!
