Irish musicians John Garvey, Jessica Harris and Hugh Murray were in town on Sunday the 19th June for an afternoon of music at Woolfson & Tay. John and Jessica performed several duets, some of them original numbers written by John, as well as some old favourites, including the Irish number, The Galway Shawl -- apt really as John's originally from Galway :) Hugh Murray did some bluesy bluegrass numbers which showcased his deft guitar work. It was awesome and truly beautiful. Stay tuned, the trio may make another appearance at W&T in the near future! Check out the video below for a flavour of what the audience experienced.
Nigel of Bermondsey and actors Kim and Carl from Inner Sanctum Theatre Company were on hand to entertain the noon crowd at Woolfson & Tay on 21 Dec 2010. Mulled wine and minced pies were served while Kim and Carl enthralled the public with a dramatic reading from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, while Nigel got everyone in the holiday mood with a sing-a-long Christmas carolling session. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone!
These are one of those moments when I wished I had a video on me. What a night! We had a small group at the last poetry open mic session for the year and it was fun, fun, fun!
How to describe the headline acts Meryl Jones and Anti-Poet? Meryl delighted the crowd with very adult themes we could all identify with, incl her thoughts on 'democratic porno' while Anti-Poet got the crowd all riled up with their 'punk poetry' (my words, not theirs) that was both irreverent yet astutely observed. Watch this website for next year's sessions :)
Thank you to Daniel Cockrill from Bang Said The Gun for another fantastic session and the open mic-ers who dared to share!
