THIS WEEK: Make Yours a DOUBLE SCOTCH |
CASE IS COMING !!! |
||
Scottish
folk singer and songwriter Allan Johnston makes his folk club debut at The
Avenue this Saturday, 20th April. Accompanied by fellow Scot Paddy "The Hat" Duncan on fiddle, they'll play a mixture of traditional songs and tunes from Ireland and Scotland as well as many original compositions. Allan's most recent CD "VoiceCall" has received much praise and local band Craobh Rua have recorded one of his songs. |

The Folk Club has managed a big scoop -
bringing cult American singer Peter Case to The Avenue Bar venue on
Saturday 11 May. Case's songs and powerful presence bring to mind the intensity of Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen, a raw bluesy voice, crisp guitar and wailing harmonica. Top local music writer Colin Harper claimed Case's last gig in Downpatrick in 1997 was one of the best he'd ever heard. |
