Festival Folk Night

Headliners Lee Bardsley and India Shan Merrett found their sound over pub pints and idle chat before going ahead and crafting it into beautiful songs woven together with threads of wistful melodies. Lee is a singer-songwriter/dreamer of poetic melodies that are born of the everyday and then transcended to the sublime with his gloriously heartfelt voice of human experience and wonder.

Meanwhile, Stirling Aston, Jon Stirling, and Les Renshaw, well regarded stalwarts of the the folk music scene, offer classic country/blues – plus a few classics from the great singer/songwriters, which are sure to appeal to a broad spectrum of tastes.

Uncle Pleb (Steve Black and James Dennis) are Bollington’s own folk duo. Their original songs, telling of strange characters and heroic deeds, serve to both move and amuse the listener. Though they have only been making music together for the last two years, they have won the ‘best newcomers’ competition at Upton Festival. Moreover, they have taken the reigns of the Bollington Folk Club, held at The Dog & Partridge every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month.

Overall, an evening of varied, but fabulous folk music not to be missed! Organised by Bollington Folk Club.
