WINTER  WONDERBAND   

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

OK, lets get into the line-up.  We haven't seen them play together, but we have all sorts of info re the individual members.    I'm going to say SAUL ROSE melodeon first, simply because we both saw him play umpty-two years ago (he was a lot younger than me!!) and he blew us away.  What a musician....Well musicians that good don't stand in a line-up of anything other than, well, more very good musicians, so that's got to be a recommendation.

Then there's what other people have been telling us about the whole line-up.  Quite ecstatic they've been and saying they are coming or wished they could....

Now lets look at the rest of the line up.......

MACLAINE COLSION,  a phenomenal player of that sweet and unusual instrument the hammer dulcimer, heard and much appreciated by Andy a few years ago, and incidentally a protege of the late great Jim Couza.

JENNIFER CROOKE  heard by us in a duo some years ago and a notable harpist.

BETH PORTER is a cellist in the BOOK BAND which has recently played locally.  Her performance is very much recommended by my discerning friend Mary Taylor!

Oh and just saying SAUL ROSE and MACLAINE COLSION were both denizens of ELIZA CARTHY'S  KINGS OF CALICUTT ...and then there is Saul's stint in War Horse.....Lots more of course could be said and can be found at winterwonderbandfolk.com 

including video clips of them playing together.

and to put a cherry on the cake:  HARRY LI is opening for us.  We are not alone in predicting a great folk future for this young man.

This Christmas Concert will of course be hosted by your very own SUE DEWSBURY.

You're not getting a piccy because that's quite enough info for today!
