This dynamic Anglo/Irish duo impressed so much at our 2014 Christmas party, and repeated that so well in 2015, that we simply had to have them back for 2016. So completing their hat-trick of TFMC Christmas do's, here they are again!
They first teamed up some 30 years ago back in Leicestershire England. The musical partnership formed back in 1985 has endured well, surviving a change of hemispheres and an Interesting business venture. Some of the songs they perform reflect their backgrounds and social leanings, Swigger's English working class and Conors Irish heritage make for a broad mixture of songs played on guitar and banjo with vocals.
Not to be missed!
What is Folk Music? – You'll be amazed at what is covered by the heading Folk Music: from traditional finger in the ear to modern acoustic, soft lilting ballads to modern Folk Rock, the field is huge and there is a little bit in there for everyone.
We're a totally informal, small friendly group of people who like to sing and play music. If you do not sing or play and would like to then here you'll find encouragement. There is never any pressure and you may wish to visit a few times to get confidence or you may already be confident, it does not matter, no one will criticize, only support.

The Club was conceived in 1965 when the Clancy Brothers didn't come and someone had the astounding idea of having a sing-a-round thus transforming an audience into a folk group. Formally established in 1966 we're still going strong.
