January Events

Fri 17 January 8pm Bryony Griffith & Alice Jones with Celia Briar and friends
Making a return trip to Folk at the Barlow are West Yorkshire duo Bryony and Alice. Great researchers, collectors and purveyors of the folk songs and traditions of their native county, they portray the rich heritage of Yorkshire in all its raw glory. Their material is beautifully and soulfully sung and played on voice, fiddle, harmonium, and tenor banjo. They have a delightful and hilarious on-stage rapour which appears completely natural and unrehearsed. This fairly recent combination of two well-known performers on the folk scene has become sought after at festivals and clubs alike, so thank you for returning to Folk at the Barlow.

Supporting Bryony and Alice will be celtic harpist Celia Briar. Celia's mesmorising playing is well-known in this country and abroad particularly in Ireland and New Zealand. She has collaborated with several players and instruments over the years and has the knack of getting the right balance between the harp and accompanying instruments. The harps she plays are very special and with a vibrant resonant tone. Her tune repertoire is staggering and she is the focus and star of every music session she attends.
Tickets are £12.50 each. to book please mail folkatthebarlow@gmail.com or use the form
