Vin Garbutt
It's very difficult to add anything that hasn't already been said about Vin.
In the area of music in which Vin Garbutt performs, there is no bigger star! Vin Garbutt is the funniest and most serious man on the Folk Scene!" He was born in South Bank, Middlesbrough (We won't hold that against him :-) )
In 2001 Vin was nominated for Folk Singer of the Year and also Best Live Act in the BBC 2 Folk Awards. Subsequently Vin was the winner of The Best Live Act! In 2002 Vin was further honoured by Teesside University when he received the Honorary Degree of Master of Arts. Vin was congratulated as "Teessides roving ambassador of folk music" for performing and writing songs for over 30 years, gaining inspiration from the people and culture of Teesside. He was thanked for his services to the arts and the area of the North East of England. During 2001 Vin published the first collection of his songs. The Vin Garbutt SongBook. The collection spans his career from The Valley Of Tees written in 1971 to The Troubles Of Erin written in 1999. The book was very popular and inevitably Vins fans were soon asking Where is the CD which matches the book?. So shortly after, Vin issued The Vin Garbutt Songbook CD. This was Vins first ever complilation CD and was very well received. It is popular as a collection but also very popular as a sampler for people who are new to Vins music.
Vins career has continued to flourish and 2004 saw him take on another world tour. Unfortunately in 2005 Vin became seriously ill, subsequently he had to take 6 months off work. He was supposed to appear at Faldingworth and it has taken until now to get him to Faldingworth Live. Thankfully he soon made a full recovery and got back on the road! An advantage of Vins recuperation period was that he was able to work on his long awaited new album PersonaGrata which was launched at The Sage, Gateshead on October 6th 2005. Vin continues to perform to sold out shows all over the world!
Support The Blues Connection
The Blues Connection are Pete, Helen and Bob, who together create an
enjoyable laidback atmosphere of melodic blues related music. Helens beautiful
deep bluesy voice fronts the fine finger style technique of Pete on
Acoustic Guitar and the marvellous natural talent of Bob on harmonica. All three
members sing harmony and play various light percussion instruments.
You can hear one of their songs on this website link http://www.bluecrowmusic.co.uk/Blues_Connection.html
There will be a bar, but bring your own food.
