Coming up at The No Frills Folk Club
‘Afloat III’ – Sat 17th November 2018 on The Widgeon Theatre Boat
Featuring:
Lis Stewart and Chris Dyer
Lis and Chris perform their own beautiful and vibrant arrangements of traditional dance tunes from England, France and Scandinavia on a combination of fiddles, duet concertina and nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle).
The Happy Couple
Judith Goodman and David Ross play simple, beautiful tunes on guitar/banjo and Jews Harp. The Happy Couple, first met on the bus replacement service from Mile End Tube station to Leyton many years ago. They have been inseparable ever since. The pair live in the heart of the Norfolk Broads where they like to spend much of their time. Their music has grown out of the many afternoons they share in the local landscape, as a natural response to each other and their surroundings. “It’s about the sounds that happen when we put our sounds together. We just create a world we want to be in.”

Reuben Augustine
Croydon based Reuben Augustine is a blues singer and guitarist unlike you’ve heard before. His music is complex and gentle, and his vocal style seems to owe as much to Irish Sean-nós singing as to the Mississippi Delta. He writes beautiful, lyrical ballads, often simple on the surface but concealing deeper darker themes.
