A special treat for the festive season. Two great acts for the price of one!

Sound Tradition provided an excellent support act when Dan McKinnon played at the club back in May 2007 and we are delighted to welcome them back to the club. They are a three piece, mostly a cappella folk group who enjoy singing traditional folk music in harmony. They currently live the East Anglia area, but all three have previously lived abroad for some time. They had all been involved with music and singing for several years before deciding to form Sound Tradtion in early 2006.

Mary and Anahata have played at Ely Folk Club on a number of occasions, both as support and main act, and have also been our guests in the Club Tent at Cambridge Folk Festival. They specialise in traditional English and Welsh songs and tunes, playing between them an impressive number of instruments.

In addition to the music, there may be some other festive treats in store...

Tony Carling is as unique an artist as you could wish for, a warm engaging and totally relaxed performer. His song writing brings to life in sometimes hilarious fashion the observations and characters he has met from growing up around the children's homes in South London and working in the building trade. So come with an open mind and be prepared to leave with a new song in your heart!

Sunday Driver are well known for their enthusiasm for experimenting with new sounds, ‘bringing together the innocence of English folk and the shimmering vibrancy of Eastern influences' (bbconline) On their recently released CD ‘In the City of Dreadful Night', the current line-up includes clarinet, tabla, sitar, concert harp, guitar and vocals. The band has written music for several soundtracks including an award-winning BBC Radio 4 documentary ‘Leprosy: a forgotten disease'.

St Albans-based duo Na Mara, Paul McNamara (guitar and vocals) and Rob Garcia (guitar and mandolin) were last seen at a windy Broadstairs Festival, where they were supporting Cara Dillon. Their repertoire ranges from arrangements of Irish fiddle tunes for mandolin and guitar, to poignant songs and ballads arranged for voice, guitar and mandolin.

The Ouse Brothers are Rick Sanders on vocals and rhythm and Jim Gosney on lead. They have been whooping it up with an eccentric and urgent mixture of blues, country and originals for some time now. But their flame is undimmed by age or experience. Which is considerable.
