8th November Ian Cumpstey also Tyan (Peter Rowan & June Swift)
Ian Cumpstey – Old time inspired acoustic and fingerstyle music, beautifully crafted songs
Tyan are June Swift and Peter Michael Rowan and they specialise in beautiful close harmony work and bring their own style to folk songs and Americana with a few surprises thrown in too. ‘The chief joy for me was their singing, as their exceptional voices blended together in glorious harmonies’ (Sandra Lawes, Unicorn Magazine)

Thomas Corda-Stanley (info to follow)
Inspired by Lady Anne’s gumption, The Clifford Movement, that’s Dawn Hurton, June Swift and Gwen Bainbridge, have set about bringing the lives of local famous and, in some cases, infamous characters to life. With personal anecdotes from a childhood on a Cumbrian farm, alongside the historical tales of bygone heroes and villains from actual archive sources, through song, verse and puppetry magic, the stories unfold, set within the backdrop of Cumbria.
The Clifford Movement bring you stories, songs, poems and puppets with projections, celebrating the lives and landscape of the Eden Valley.
Upcoming dates 10th January, 14th February, 14th March
Performances start at 7.30pm. Admission £8. Short interval. Tea/Coffee or BYOB
Final EVTN concert of the spring season at The Old Courthouse, Shap
Music at The Old Courthouse, Shap 15th March 2024
Good live music at The Old Courthouse, Shap. If you get a chance to see Burnt Horse perform, go! 5 well blended voices, supported by guitar, violin, uke, flute and cello. The set included modern folk, 70s-80s covers, close harmony a capella. Sound level exactly right for the venue. We could hear every word of the lyrics too -not something one can say for every performer – with very little USA ‘twang’ even in American songs like Woodstock. Sue Millard
