Well known people include Martin Simpson, Martin Carthy, Jorma Kaukonen, Robb Johnson, Bert Lloyd, Pete Atkin, Missisipi Fred MacDowell, Jeff Davis , Jimmy Page, Nic Jones, Derek Brimstone and countless others.

The great thing about the folk scene is that you get to meet so many tremendous musicians and singers who are a match for anyone in the world and yet are hardly known outside the scene.

About Russ Chandler

I've been playing guitar since I was fifteen.

In my twenties I played electric guitar in bands but I always enjoyed folk music and playing acoustic guitar.

After taking a couple of years off for some important drinking I started playing fingerstyle guitar again seriously in my early thirties and became involved in the London and Essex traditional music scene.

I also sing, play Banjo and a bit of Hammered Dulcimer.

I help organise the Walthamstow Folk club

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Nov 27 2009 1:22 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead. A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now. In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance. A...

TWILIGHT FOLK	Nov 15 2009 10:37 AM TWILIGHT FOLK PRESENTS.... SATURDAY DECEMBER 12TH ROBB JOHNSON and THE IRREGULARS LIVE AT ORANGE STREET MUSIC CLUB, CANTERBURY 8.00 £5 ENTRY "Britain's finest songwriter since Richard Thompson" Venue "love songs as touching as the political material is sharp." Red Pepper "One of Britain's most challenging songwriters." The Daily Telegraph "the UK’s most consistently strong songwriter" Sean McGhee, Rock'n'Reel
Monday Monday	Nov 6 2009 2:12 PM A bit of advance notice - MondayMonday proudly presents Rún and Steven Finn and more at The Wilmington Arms, Clerkenwell on Monday 7th December Rún collect and arrange old folk songs written in the ancient language of Erin. So far, thanks to Nora from Donegal, they have a nice wee collection of well-known ditties and are now adding to their repertoire with some unusual old forgotten songs from the province of Ulster. Rún are five fantastic lassies who perform four-part vocal arrangements of old Gaelic songs like ’An Cailín Rua’ (the red-haired girl), ’Casadh an tSúgain’ (twisting the hayrope) and ’Bo Na Leath Adhairce’ (the one-horned cow). Rún is the Gaelic word for ’secret, wish or love’ (cf. rune). See http://www.myspace.com/runceol .. Steven Finn’s ears were filled with the music of Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Johnny Cash and old time country music. Aged 15 he began teaching himself the guitar, learning songs like Leadbelly’s ‘Bourgeois Blues’ and Charlie Daniels’ ‘The devil went down to Georgia’. On hearing Bob Dylan songs Finn started to write his own words and in doing so found a lifelong passion for Jazz and Folk Blues, a getaway car he could drive. See http://www.myspace.com/stevenfinn for more details See http://event.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=events.detail&eventID=515763.72936 for more details.

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Sep 24 2009 9:19 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements. The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage. Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens. Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry. And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Jun 4 2009 5:12 PM (Hi: enjoyed my visit.) After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003
