Johnny Silvo
 
(4.9.10)  Johnny Silvo                                    £6.00 (£4.00 members)

Johnny started singing in 1965 when the folk movement was first blossoming.   As a solo artist and also for nine years in a duo with Dave Moses, Johnny became a household name with countless TV appearances and recording with the likes of Alex Campbell and Sandy Denny. He's a wonderful performer with a wide variety of material and lots of good humour.  We are very happy to have him for the start of the new season.

Combining a love of traditional music as well as original songs and tunes the Paul McKenna Band have been playing together since 2006.  With a contemporary approach to songs, although not straying too far from their roots, their arrangements are both fresh and innovative.
The band played for us for the first time last year on the night they got the news they'd been awarded 'Best Up and Coming Act' in the Scots Trad Music Awards and what a night they gave us! Welcome back.

Musician, singer and songwriter, Andy has maintained both personal integrity and highly individual performing skills throughout his 40-year career. Andy has played a seminal role in a mind-boggling list of line-ups including his legendary work with Paul Brady, Sweeney's Men, Planxty, De Danaan. Patrick Street and Mozaik. Andy has been a world music pioneer and icon for traditional music and musicians.  We are delighted to have him back after too long a break.
