THE RAINDOGS SUNDAY
Ā Ā Ā APRIL 7th 5.30PM
raindogs play an eclectic mix of covers and originals; uplifting, melodious and melancholic in equal measure. Sublime vocals supported by a heady mix of drums, bass, acoustic and electric guitars and saxophone all topped off with sumptuous three part harmonies and an occasional glockenspiel solo
from Neil Young to Nick Cave, from Tom Waits to The Doors, from Elbow to The Beatles, thereās something for everyone, especially if they like to stray off the beaten track.
the raindogs are a six-piece band based in derby in the east midlands. we are all experienced musicians and have recently come together as the āraindogsā. currently we are working on new recordings and a video. gigs played so far have been very well received and we have many promoters that will highly recommend us.
as members of the band weāre all really interested in the music and in re-inventing other peopleās songs as well as crafting our own material.
BLUES SWAMP SOUTHERN Ā SUNDAY APRIL 14 5.30PM
Blueswamp southern formed in 2007 by legendary slide guitarist Bob Dayfield, the band play authentic acoustic roots blues featuring twin slide guitars, harp and percussion.
Called one of the finest country blues bands in the UK by Blues in Britain magazine and winner of the "best blues band" for the last few years running. Judge for yourself.
"HISTORY is littered with supergroup failures - attempts at putting together a bunch of talented musicians which don't produce the wonderful outcome you'd expect but when it does work, something spellbinding can happen and we got our own taste of that at Stratford Folk Club's latest concert night when The Jigantics topped the bill and played a remarkable set.
With a line-up which can generate the kind of rock family tree that used to be turned into a tv show, The Jigantics have fused the disparate talents of its members to hop between styles almost at will - but always with a touch of class. And just as they varied the styles, so they switched between instruments and vocals with no let-up in the impact.
A large part of the set was taken up by tracks from their debut album Daisy Roots, which is a fine statement of their genre-hopping approach. There's foot-tapping feelgood, then totally convincing tearjerkers, both on record and played live. So there's the infectiously upbeat Bad Liver and a Broken Heart, which sounds like Shania Twain and a bunch of line dancers gone bad, the very different but equally catchy Swimming Song and the quite hypnotic non-album Curve of My Back, telling the story of a mandolin and surely a 'shoe-in' for the next album. The musicianship was as good as you'd expect and the vocals consistently excellent, none more so than Mark Coles lead on The Save and the standout moment of the show, our very own Marion Fleetwood's take on The Valley.
A big shout too for support hand We Died at Sea, from Leeds but with a couple of ex-Stratford College students in their ranks. A delightfully retro 1920s and 1930s set mixing up jazz, ragtime and more."
KAREN PFEIFFER & PAUL WALKER
SUNDAY APRIL 28TH 5.30PM
The Anglo-German duo Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer hails from Staffordshire,Ā although Karen is originally from Stuttgart, Germany, where Paul ādiscoveredā her busking in a city centre park. He invited her to perform in England and the two of them have now been playing music together since 2012. In the last two years they have spread their wings very successfully into the British and European folk and festival scene and perform now mainly in Theatres, Village Halls, Folk Clubs and of course at Festivals throughout the UK. In addition they tour annually in southern Ireland and Germany - and in 2019 they are embarking on their first tour of New Zealand and Western Australia.
With their unique onstage-chemistry and their widely praised harmonies, Paul & Karen entertain and engage their audiences āin a likable, humorous styleā. Together with their own beautifully written songs which have begun to gain well-deserved attention, they present unique interpretations of classics from folk icons such as Richard Thompson, Dougie MacLean, Jimmy MacCarthy or Christy Moore. Altogether, āsongs with groove and goosebumps guaranteedā, as the Stuttgart press put it recently.
Sharing vocal duties, both have their individual styles which combine beautifully and, together with their light-hearted banter, they provide a truly memorable experience. Karenās voice, clear and yet so powerful, leaves audiences mesmerized: āThey are still in existence, ālucky bagsā, the discoveries of precious pearls in the music scene.ā She adds to Paulās vocal and individual guitar style with alto and tenor recorders, Irish flute and whistle - and not to mention with the odd German ājokeā⦠Together they create a āfantastically entertainingā show.
Their CDs āOne by Oneā (2013), āMarble Townā (2015) and āThe Whole Charadeā (2018) have received glowing reviews in folk and music industry magazines (e.g. Acoustic Magazine, Folk North West, The Living Tradition, Stirrings Magazine, Folker, Folk Monthly). Especially the latest album āThe Whole Charadeā has been enjoying glowing reviews and considerable airplay in Europe, the U.S and Australia.
Billed as STEViE SIMPSON ā One Bloke One Mandolin, Stevie Simpson has been playing regularly at motorcycle rallies and festivals all over the UK since 2000 receiving some great reviews and picking up new fans at every gig.
STEViE has released six studio albums: āā¦. a little further down the lineā, āToo Poor For Trailer Trashā, āRideā āGarage Songsā, āSome Days Are Diamondsā and āFair Travels & Fine Timesā released in September 2017, between them containing seventy-threeĀ original recordings. In 2013Ā he put out a live CD, recorded at The Assembly Rooms in Derby when supporting Simon Friendās Seismic Survey.
āā¦. a little further down the lineā is STEViEās Nebraska ā Blue, Back Street Heros custom bike magazine
He has headlined at The Clarence Park Free Music Festival and appeared at The Acoustic Festival Of Britain, The Bulldog Bash, Americana, Weyfest, Beautiful Days, Off The Tracks, Watchet, Wickham Festival, Bearded Theory, Blissfields, Something Else In The Dean, Westportās Folk & Bluegrass Festival in Ireland, Pullman City Country Music Festival in Bavaria, Germany and the Akaciju aleja bard festival near Kaunas in Lithuania along with many gigs around the UK and Germany.
For a good few years he has, amongst many gigs, regularly played/compered marquees for the National Association for Bikers with Disabilities (NABD) at their rallies and became a patron of the NABD in 2010.
Stevie is a Gold Tone Music Group Artist, playing their OM-800+ Octave Mandolin and GM-70+ Mandolin.
PEASHOOTER
SUNDAY 12TH MAY 5.30PM
It was just a bit of fun, and the choice of songs often reflects that, with the very typical all male line up of guitar, bass and drums tackling songs that one would not usually associate with a band comprised of these components. Blondie? Sure. Pretenders? Why not? Kraftwerk? Yes. ABBA? Indeed! It's just a bit of fun, see?
However, eventually they had an extensive list of songs Little Richard, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Beatles, Kinks, Hollies, Bowie, Undertones, Dexys, Status Quo, Talking Heads, Thin Lizzy, Squeeze, Motörhead & many more, and of course, someone suggested that maybe they should get a gig or two? So, now and then, when the weather is not too inclement, and the distance not too great, Peashooter can be tempted from their lair to play a gig or two, be it full electric or acoustic.
The three players all have a good musical provenance, playing regularly on the local and national scene with bands such as The Rattlers, The Crack, Neverland, Swamptrash, Cross oā thā Hands, Sounds of the Blues Brothers, Richard Snow & The Inlaws and The Modest to name but a few.

NEW CRANES REFORM!
Legendary nineties Derby combo are back, doing festivals and playing at the D&P!
Sunday August 11th 5.45pm
In the heady days of the early Nineties, it was hard to find a band with a better live reputation than The Newcranes.
Energetic and inspiring, their intoxicating mix of Slavonic-tinged thrash-folk-punk thrilled audiences across Europe. Tasting chart success as label mates with The Levellers, supporting Bob Dylan, tours with Saw Doctors, Stiff Little Fingers and The Mission, headlining Camden Palace with Skunk Anansie supportingĀ and then... silence.Ā Ā
Now, after 25 years and a fan campaign to get the band to reformĀ they are back, now fronted by Jonny Wallis, who spent years performing Newcranes songs in his solo and band sets. The band have a busy summer playing festivals like Glastonbury, Boomtown and Wickham ... with a bunch of classic tunes to play, a fanbase who are eagerly awaiting and a renewed fire in the band, The Newcranes are not to be missed!Ā
