Acoustic Music and Song at The Cross Keys Inn, Bridge St, Chester
Stop Press!!! - Preview Night - Sunday 18^th May 'Listen, Listen' - The Songs of Sandy Denny The songs to be performed by Full House at Chester Folk Festival on Saturday 24^th May, previewed at The Cross Keys for the benefit of Raven supporters, those who can’t make it to the festival and the band’s memories! Sandy Denny was one of the finest female singers that Britain has ever produced. She came to prominence in the burgeoning folk club scene of the mid 1960’s and her brief career reached its apogee in the early 1970’s. Her remarkable life was cut cruelly short in April 1978 at the age of 31 by a tragic domestic accident. Possessed of a truly extraordinary voice, she was also a fine songwriter with a unique style. As the lead singer of Fairport Convention and later Fotheringay, she was one of the leading lights of the Folk/Rock movement that sought to build bridges between those two musical genres. At this year's Chester Folk Festival in Kelsall, Full House, aided and abetted by several guest singers, will pay a musical tribute to Sandy to mark the passing of an artist who was much loved and is still much missed by the many people she touched with her songs and her singing. Hope to see you there. Singers' Nights and Guest Nights in the upstairs room. Music and Song Sessions in the Main Bar usually 2nd Sunday of the month
Every Sunday Night 8.30 pm - All Welcome ! Free Admission on Session Nights and Singarounds
