CV Folk takes over the Leamington Folk Club's Performers Night at Temperance.
News
Tickets are already selling quickly as Leamington's eminent music venue, Temperance opens its doors on Thursday 12th September for an evening of music curated by local folk campaigners, CVFolk.
This is the third takeover by CVFolk since the venue launched the Leamington Folk Club in February 2022 to host monthly ‘Performers Nights'. These often feature a blend of the more established names on the local folk circuit playing alongside rising star artists.
Guests appearing on this occasion are:
· Kristy Gallacher, back from maternity leave and fresh from her powerful performance at Warwick Folk Festival. Kristy makes a long-awaited return with her set of beautifully written songs and brilliant guitar accompaniment.
· Daisybell making their long overdue debut appearance at Temperance. The talented triumvirate of Katherine Fear, Anya Fay and Charlie Adams have built up a national reputation as a powerful force in folk entertainment.
· Paul Gibson, who is no stranger to the Temperance stage and other CVFolk events. His repertoire of skilfully written and well-executed songs demonstrates an ability to connect with audiences and their real-life experiences.
· Firedaze, the highly-rated folk-rockin' duo featuring Rack & Ruin's bass-player Chris Radley, and dynamic singer and guitarist Steff Hutchinson.
· The Harvesters – in this case, the original duo version of Ian and Sue Hartland. They also perform their Temperance premiere with songs and tunes of back-porch Americana and include some percussive step-dancing to add to the impressive instrumentation.
The show will be hosted by the club's inimitable singer, songwriter and compere Andi Wolf, known for matching the eloquence of his self-penned songs with a relaxed and quirky style of patter.
The club format has recently changed to allow each act a little more time to engage with their audiences. It originally comprised nine artists performing just three songs each, but numbers have recently been trimmed down to six acts, playing slightly longer sets.
Tickets usually sell out and there are still some available at just £5 (plus booking fee) from Eventbrite via Temperance's website, https://www.temperance.bar. Doors open at 7pm.
