TOPIC FOLK CLUB, BRADFORD At the Bradford Irish Club, Rebecca Street, BD1 2RX Newsletter No. 131 – April 2013 Hello again everyone, Now that British Summer Time has arrived - with the snow still in drifts! - you'll be wanting a break from all those chores the lighter nights bring. So put down that lawn mower (!), put that spade away and pop down to the Topic to ease your aching muscles and for aesthetic regeneration with the live music we have lined up for you this month. 4th April 11th April Your writing is magnificent, your settings and playing equal to that and the both of you sing with rare assured passion that I oft think has gone – John Tams. Winter Wilson are a superb duo deserving of national recognition – and make no mistake, Dave Wilson is in the very top tier of British songwriters – BBC Radio Lincolnshire. Brilliant! - Vin Garbutt 18th April 25th April To the already full sound of Duncan’s own tremendous guitar playing, Anne contributed some excellent sympathetic bow-stroking and some lovely supporting harmony vocals - Living Tradition Coming in May: Kyle Carey/Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker; Steve & Ruth Smith (USA); Reg Meuross;James Hickman & Dan Cassidy More details in the next newsletter or see http://www.topic-folk-club.org.uk Special Notice: The purpose of running this event is to try to bring something new to those interested in what is the broad spectrum of folk music, it also allows the club to step outside it's comfort zone of just running club nights. If it's successful, we'll hopefully be able to host more different events in the future. So we hope we will get plenty of support. Please tell your friends about it. Tickets are available for this event. Prices are as follows: The workshop will take place from 3 pm to 5 pm and the concert will start at 7 pm.
