Tues. LIVE at “The First”, Bitterne, 8pm: Guests FRICTION FARM (SC, U.S.A.)Location: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/50.9173/-1.3470
NOTE THIS IS AT VARIANCE WITH OUR USUAL TUESDAY-AT-THE-GUIDE-DOG PATTERN. It's also unusual for us to operate on a fifth Tues., and will scratch the fifth Weds. Singaround at The Welly, the next day.
FOCSLE Music welcomes back these husband-&-wife musicians from the eastern seaboard of the USA. Christine Stay and Aidan Quinn are FRICTION FARM, “a modern folk duo of singer-songwriters with thought-provoking, socially-conscious and humorous songs… … inspiration ranging from books to poignant observations on people and nature” [from their own blurb]. Playing acoustic bass, guitar and harmonica, and with spine-tingling duo harmony vocals, they create a great engagement with their audiences. Five CDs to their credit. Interesting lyrics, in our opinion, with an unusual clarity of sound.
Prob. pay-on-the-door, but t.b.d. Buy a raffle ticket for the chance of winning an alcohol (and, usually, a confectionery) prize.
