(7.10.17) Damien Barber & Mike Wilson

Although Damien was brought up in Norfolk and Mike on Teesside, these nominees for best duo at the BBC Awards in 2010 have a rich shared repertoire of traditional songs, along with songs by modern writers such as Peter Bellamy, Ewan McColl and Mike Waterson. Just sit back and listen!

(4.11.17) Anthony John Clarke and Dave Pegg
Two consummate entertainers unite for an evening of outstanding song and music. Anthony John is one of the top songwriters on the folk scene and he's joined by Dave, the legendary Fairport Convention multi-instrumentalist.

(18.11.17) Special evening with The Folk Degree Students 'En Masse'
This is the now annual evening when we let go of the ropes and hand them to the up and coming talent from Newcastle Uni. We'll give more information about who will be performing soon but be prepared for lots of youthful enthusiasm and some breathtaking talent!

(2.12.17) Billy Mitchell

Billy is a great friend of the Davy Lamp and a wonderful singer and musician – as well as being a good laugh. Billy has been very busy touring with the Pitman Poets recently and has just returned from a trip round the world. Welcome back! We're in for a great night.
