Still waiting for a completion date for my CD. So for all those who pre-paid for a copy please contact me at, exegroves@gmail.com, as to whether you want a refund or are prepared to wait until I can send you a copy which I will do as soon as I have it in my hands.PROFOUND APOLOGIES.
Following Spinners Legends final great shows at Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room 2nd & 3rd Oct. I have a new CD Tomorrows Folk which will be available from mid-November. I am very sorry for the delay but the producer has been very ill but is now back at work.
When we started our folk club in 1958 we then went to a festival at EFDSS in London. There we met people who were well versed in folk-songs. All of them told us to remember that most of the songs we were singing were ‘popular songs of their day’. Hence Tomorrows Folk is my guess at what will be being sung in folk clubs now and in the future.
This weekend off to The Summer Solstice in Hull for a show n Saturday.
Then on to Lowestoft for Folk East.
Followed by International Beer Fest. in Olympia London on 8th Aug and Orpington Folk on 9th.
The Spinners Legends will be let out again soon.
Confirmed dates are at the moment in May but more to follow in London, Orpington, Hull and Lowestoft.
On the 18th and 19th May we return to the Liverpool Philharmonic MusicRoom. Where we will bring forth each evening more Spinners favourites. Details on times and tks.
from the Phil website.
Been having fun with my fellow Spinners Legend Hughie Jones. We have had sellout nights not only at Liverpool and Exeter but more recently Orpington Folk Club in September and The Palace Hotel, Buxton in October.
At Buxton we were the special weekend guests of the Houghton Weavers a fine band. At this event we were able to launch our new double disc CD ‘SPINNERS LEGENDS’ which is a recording made over the two nights at the Philharmonic Music Room in Liverpool in May . Further info about the CD will be available on this site shortly.
Mick & Hughie with Ace Bass John McCormick are back at
Countess Wear New Village Hall, Exeter on 16th June 2018.
Tkt.Info attached.
The year began in January with sweet and sour.
Sweet: a visit to Liverpool at Hugh and Chris Jones Folk Club opening night at the Cross Keys (every Tuesday) followed by a wonderful singing send off, at the same venue, for (the sour bit) being the death of Stan Francis at 91yrs.
Stan was a original member of the Spinners Folk Club who found fame through his guitar making skills. He made unique 12str. guitars for a host of stars inc. Pete Seeger, Mick Jagger, Tom Springfield etc.
Now its back to work with the usual round of the local folk clubs in Exeter and gigs away.
