Biddulph Up in Arms:

Returns to action this Wednesday night (Mar 16) when Gren Bartley makes his first visit to Biddulph. Described as a ''phenomenal guitarist and singer'' Gren's music mixes folk, blues, country....pretty much anything that comes under the folk umbrella. Hence his playing is often compared to Nic Jones, Kelly Joe Phelps and particularly Richard Thompson with whom her shares a stylistic similarity. He appeared at last year's Shrewsbury Folk festival..

 Support comes from Canadian Chuck Micallef .

A few words from Craig at Biddulph Up in Arms:

"Come along next Wednesday and celebrate Roy Bailey's 75th birthday in the company of two of his best friends. Roy, dubbed by Tony Benn ''the finest socialist folksinger if his generation'' has lost none of his vim and vigour as his last two cds, 'Sit Down and Sing' and 'Below the Radar' will testify. He will be reunited with squeezebox king John Kirkpatrick who has played with just about everybody (Steeleye Span, Richard Thompson, Martin Carthy in Brass Monkey etc) over an illustrious career spanning four decades.

To complete the line up support comes from the Scottish-American David Ferrard; a fellow-activist whom Roy on his recent sleevenotes as a ''singer-songwriter of quality'', covering two of his songs. He switches effortlessly between the English and American folk genres and was a big hit at the 2009 Shrewsbury Folk Festival."

A word from Craig at Biddulph Up In Arms:

"A different kind of evening in prospect tomorrow night when we host a double-bill of two very fine singer-songwriters from either side of the Atlantic. Angie Palmer, hailing from the North West of England, entertained a packed Town Hall when she supported Glenn Tilbrook recently whilst Rachel Harrington, from Oregon, makes a welcome return after a fabulous festival appearance in 2009. Angie will hopefully be joined by guitar sidekick Billy Buckley whilst Rachel's heady mix of country, gospel and bluegrass will no doubt be influenced by the expert blues and slide playing of ex-Lindisfarne man Rod Clements.

Should be good!! "
