BPFC Presents: Crows (plus support)
‘Crows’ were a popular feature of the folk scene from 1978 to 1988. The combination of four strong voices and expert musicianship gave them a simultaneously unique yet broad appeal. With the sad death of Ralph Jordan in 2013, previously unreleased radio recordings were discovered. A ‘new’ album (‘Time To Rise’ Wildgoose Records), was released in 2016.
Two of the original line-up remain in the revived band: Mick Ryan and Dave Bordewey. Crows are now joined by Pete Harris (vocals, guitar and bouzouki) and the inimitable Paul Downes (guitar, banjo, Mando-cello and harmonies)
BPFC is thrilled to present Crows 2024 in the intimate, acoustic setting of Shaftesbury Hall.
Our support act is Ailsa Mainwaring and Nick Siepmann: a North London-based duo with a shared love of the human stories at the heart of folk singing. Through their open-hearted and finely honed musicianship, they invite audiences into the intimate conversation between past and present that can only be found in song. Ailsa and Nick draw on the living tradition of folk to bring you tales of fellowship, love and the joy of living.
