Bright Phoebus Presents: JOHN KIRKPATRICK

Event information

THE grand master of the diatonic button accordion, a fantastic song writer, stalwart of many of the the most influential bands of the folk revival - Steeleye Span, The Albion Band, The Richard Thompson Band, Brass Monkey, Band of Hope and more - John Kirkpatrick is the living soul of English folk music. One of the founder members of border morris troupe, The Shropshire Bedlams, who he still dances with, John is steeped in traditional music and dance from his head to his toes - and he's a big man ..... that's a lot of man to steep! One of our absolute favourites and most admired performers, we're over the moon that he has agreed to come and play for us. MC for the night is Andy Cutting, who once locked himself in his teenage bedroom for six months and learnt by heart, all the tunes on a John Kirkpatrick cassette. He freely acknowledges his admiration for John and we're very excited at the prospect of getting these two melodeon maestros together!
