Folk Jun 2021 – Katie Grace Harris, Colin Pitts & Mike Weaver
Katie Grace Harris
Katie Grace Harris made her Folk singing debut in a rusty Triumph Toledo accompanied only by her Dad, It’s no doubt that these early experiences have influenced the sound that she makes today which can best be described as earthy, piano accompanied English Folk; gentle new arrangements of traditional songs alongside raw and exposed original compositions which draw attention to historic stories with a smattering of social justice to temper the mix. https://www.katiegraceharris.com/
Colin Pitts
First performing in folk clubs while a student in Swansea in the late ‘60’s, Colin was to become a very popular performer in Midlands folk circles in the first half of the 1970’s.
Colin re-emerged as a singer/songwriter in the 1990’s with a reputation for writing songs that sometimes make you think, sometimes make you laugh and sometimes just make you feel good. http://www.colinpitts.co.uk/
Mike Weaver
Mike is a singer-songwriter originally from Cheltenham, but now living in Worcestershire. He is a writer and illustrator by day and an acoustic performer by night, presenting his own melodic songs which draw upon both contemporary and traditional influences. https://www.mikeweavermusic.com/

Folk Jul 2021 – Sarah McQuaid
Her award-winning musicianship, distinctive chocolatey vocals and mastery of the songwriting craft have led reviewers to describe Sarah McQuaid as a “triple threat”. Add to that a warm, charismatic stage presence, five critically acclaimed solo albums and a battery of instruments including acoustic and electric guitars, drum and piano — and you’ve got a one-woman powerhouse who defies categorisation because there simply isn’t anyone else out there quite like her. Not to be missed!

“I’ve attended hundreds of concerts of all kinds, and her subtle mastery onstage launches her straight into my fave shows ever.” —Huffington Post
