The unique Anglo-Chilean collaboration taken at Fylde in September 1994
Described as one of Sweden's greatest popstars. Marit transcends boundaries and manages to effortlessly bridge the gap between the indie and mainstream crowd. She is seen here supporting Kathryn Williams and Neill MacColl on their March 2008 tour.
Aly Bain, Ale Möller and Bruce Molsky
Aly, who I first came across playing with the Boys of the Lough. is Scotland’s supreme traditional style fiddler, his playing is unique – driving, impassioned and pure. He is seen here accompanied by Swedish multi-instrumentalist Ale Möller and Bruce Molsky who his one of the most influential old-time fiddlers around.
Eric Bogle the prolific singer/songwriter taken at The Free Trade Hall, Manchester in 1982. Although Scottish by birth has been resident in Australia for the last 30 years.
Singing here with Golden Bough at Fylde in September 1986.
I had the good fortune to see Harry on a number of occasions, from the late 70's until his untimely death in 1981, as a solo performer, in the company of his brother Tom and with his great band. An unforgettable 'live' performer adored by his fans he wrote short, poignant, biographical novels and set them to music. Every year at least half of his concerts were either for charity or as a benefit. A wonderful man who left so many memories that I could never do him justice here!
After two and a half years of recording and touring with the Wailin Jennys, Annabelle finally released her much-anticipated solo album, Resilience and receives consistent rave reviews around the world inspiring audiences wherever she goes. Having always enjoyed her with the Jenny's, her solo show was equally enjoyable allowing the audience to appreciate the full spectrum of her talent.
Jim Couza
An American hammered dulcimer player born in Massachusetts
and resident in England since 1982, he also played guitar and had a wonderful
singing voice. Seen here playing guitar at Fylde in September 1987, sadly
we lost Jim in August 2009.

Cathryn has a voice to die for and Brian has played lead guitar with the Strawbs over the years. Together they provide an evening of 'top notch' self penned songs that leave an audience longing for more. Catch them if you can!
