Saturday 26th May 2012                    Churchfitters in concert

10  tickets left as at Friday May 18th 2012

Left to Right Chris Short - Rosie Short - Boris Lebret - Topher Louden      Website http://www.churchfitters.com/ebio.phpL

This flamboyant group of musicians from England, Ireland and France is taking UK audiences by storm with their unique and energetic perfomances. Four dynamic personalities present a fast-paced infectious show full of fresh, original songwriting as well as rearranged songs and tunes from the British Isles, uniting the rhythms of rock, pop and jazz with the universal appeal of traditional music. Outstanding vocals and an astonishing array of acoustic instruments including fiddle, double bass, bouzouki, flute, saxophone, guitar, banjo, dulcimer, whistle and mandolin allow them to create their unmistakable sound. A large dose of humour, a measure of eccentricity and an abiding sense of fun complete the band's recipe for truly entertaining performances.

Rosie Short (London) Rosie Short's superb voice has been described as "somewhere between husky blues and plaintive femme folk and all stages in between" (Michele Read, FAB promotions) and like that of "Annie Lennox in full flow" (Folking.com). A great songwriter, she is also a veritable 'one woman orchestra' playing a selection of wind, stringed and percussion instruments including whistle, flute, saxophone, banjo, dulcimer and ukulele.

Chris Short (London) Chris is a fiddle wizard whose inventive playing is enough to conjure any audience up on to their feet dancing, but he has more than one string to his bow - he writes most of the group's instrumentals, plays the mandolin and whistle, and sings great vocal harmonies too! Not to mention of course his mastery of that rare instrument, the musical saw.

Topher Loudon (Belfast) With his charismatic personality, Topher's quirky Belfast wit and stage antics help keep performances fresh. His lead vocals, songwriting, and driving rock-influenced guitar and bouzouki rhythms are an essential component of the band's foot-tapping sound.

Boris Lebret (France) Boris's unique collection of instruments is as remarkable as his bass playing! He has made himself a double bass out of recycled bits and pieces including a saucepan and has invented a six string 'frying pan' bass banjo and even a bass thumb piano made from hacksaw blades! He combines all this with his selection of home-made percussion instruments to create hot rhythms for the band.

Churchfitters are one of Faldingworth Live's favourite bands. This is sure to be a sell out, so make sure you reserve your tickets early, for payment on the door.

Saturday 23rd June 2012               -  Shep Woolley In Concert

Folk Singer / Comedian / Maritime Entertainer / MC / After Dinner Speaker / Radio Presenter

To define Shep Woolley is not an easy thing. To some he's a folk singer who tells funny stories, to others he's a standup comedian who writes great songs and parodies.

 He, himself, is equally at home in a pub or club or on stage at the Albert Hall.

He can sing a traditional song, a protest song or belt out Long Tall Sally.

In 1960 young Mr Woolley exchanged his civvies for a suit of blue, strapped his guitar on his back and toured with the Royal Navy, still finding the opportunity to entertain alongside such international stars as Liza Minnelli, the Dave Clark Five and Matt Monroe.

Then in the 70s he found he had a talent for standup - that most dangerous of all entertainment games - but thirty years on, and no longer signed up to the RN talent agency, Shep is a master of the one liner and the shaggy dog story and he's even done after dinner speeches in the company of Prince Charles.

'It takes a great comedian to hold an audience for two hours. It takes an even greater one to do the same without one blue, racist or sexist joke. Shep Woolley did just that!'
