Folk double featuring Scarborough's The Blow-ins revealed for Scalby Temperance Hall
Scarborough-based duo The Blow-ins share the bill with the John Ward Trip for a gig at Scalby Temperance Hall later this month.
The Blow-ins make gentle acoustic music with Celtic harp, guitar and voices.
They are known for original, high-quality work; their eclectic mix of old and new folk songs and mesmerising harp /guitar duets has been heard by a rapidly growing number of appreciative audiences across the country.
n 2024 they won the coveted songwriting award at the Great North Folk Festival.
A musical journey with the Blow-ins takes you from ancient love songs to contemporary protest with quiet humour and powerful emotion.
The John Ward Trio returns to the Temperance Hall with a programme of Jon’s songs of Suffolk land and sea and his wider travels.
The band will be showcasing songs from Jon’s 10th studio album and as well as favourites from his wider repertoire.
With three-part harmonies, guitar, double bass, mandolin, accordian and John’s showstopping bodhran playing, the trio’s performances are authentic and heartfelt.
The folk double-bill is on at Scalby Temperance Hall on Saturday September 19 at 7pm.
