YET another action-packed weekend around the local folk scene starts tonight when the Glee Club, Castle Wharf, presents one of the biggest names on the present folk circuit.
Martin Simpson has certainly fulfilled the positive reports that we heard about him in the mid-70s as he has grown into one of our finest guitarists and presenter of traditional songs along with some fine efforts of his own.
On Tuesday night the same venue plays host to the latest incarnation of The Albion Band which certainly is the youngest line-up to bear the name of one of the most enduring folk/rock outfits. Featured in the line-up are Katriona Gilmore, Blair Dunlop and Gavin Davenport.
Saturday night has the local guitar and vocal partnership of Steve Hicks and Lyn Golbourn playing at The Guitar Bar, Hotel Deux, Pelham Street, Sherwood Rise, while in Belper Canadian singer/songwriter Dan McKinnon will be in concert at Nailer's Football Ground, Bridge Street, Belper.

On the same night at the Poppy Folk Club, Poppy and Pint, Pierrepont Road, Lady Bay, West Bridgford will present Anna Shannon, who will be supported by Pete Burnham.
