Mondegreen Folk Club – May 6th 2012

Buckshot Soup

www.buckshotsoup.co.uk

Buckshot Soup play high energy Ragtime Country music in their own original style. Starting out in Derby, they soon were seduced by the bright lights of London; gaining a loyal fan base along the way.
This Americana-tinged troupe will guarantee a foot tappin’ good night.
Buckshot Soup, the best four piece country band ’round these parts…

Ewan D Rodgers

We’re very happy to welcome Ewan back to the folk club this month, after a stunning first visit in March.

‘Although he as many Americans as Brits as influences, it’s clear that Rodgers is an old school British folk singer, first, last and always.’ Maverick Magazine

Ewan’s debut album is a real treat (and has been listened to dozens of times since being purchased by Mondegreen last month.) Ewan musically articulates the woes of the world in a way that makes audiences listen, understand and – most importantly – feel the meaning of the song. Truly beautiful.

Listen to some of Ewan’s songs at his website www.ewandrodgers.co.uk.

Kathy Gentles, Cellist playing folk…!

Kathy is a relative newbie here at Mondegreen Folk Club, but she made such a splash last time with her fantastic folk cello that we’re really pleased she’s agreed to come back and do another set.

‘Growing up in the Midlands with a very musical family I was surrounded by music in every corner of my life. Gigging was the norm as my parents performed in folk groups and as a duo and were and still are in demand! School years were spent juggling work and for me the more ‘important’ music and band tours. After years of classical cello training I decided to make the leap and move to the big smoke to persue more eclectic musical interests. After some time of scraping money together trying to ‘make it as a musician’ I decided it might be a good idea to actually earn a ‘proper’ living and turned to teaching.

Currently completing an MA in music education my dissertation topic has brought me full circle and returned me to playing the music that I know and love, folk. You will find me frequenting various music haunts, singing and playing cello and attempting to make some mellow sounds in amongst a few tunes and trying to do my musical influences justice.’
