- Author: Black Diamond Folk Club
Damien is doing a solo tour, and we are delighted to have him back at the club. He is no stranger as over the years we have booked him in many guises. A fine interpreter of traditional songs and the respect he gives them shines through with the knack of using a sympathetic accompaniment mainly on concertina. Though he is not hidebound by the tradition and is just as easy singing a contemporary number. Come early as he is a very popular guest.

We are always pleased to see new faces on our Singers and Musicians Night, as this is the route most of our regular performers first came to our attention. We try and provide a friendly and supportive space where people either sing play or both while others tell stories or recite. You have to start somewhere why not make it here? Come and join our very loyal listener's some of whom have been with us since the early years of the club.
