Tom McConville at Sharp's Folk Club
Cecil Sharp House, NW1 7AY , [Venue Details]"One of the greatest violinists I've ever heard and by far the biggest influence in my music - A true master" - Seth Lakeman
Tom was born on Tyneside and brought up in a pub on the famous Scotswood Road with clientele drawn from the Irish and Scottish communities. This is where he first experienced traditional singing and fiddle music; the Hornpipes of James Hill amongst his first influences. 50 years on Tom McConville is
widely acknowledged as THE authority on the music of James Hill and produced the first CD devoted entirely to Hill’s compositions.
Plus, plenty of time for floorspots. The best-known floor singers’ night in London – trad songs & tunes, ballads, shanties, rousing choruses, and more, with the best folk harmonies in the Capital.
Perform up front, or join the chorus from the audience and help us blow the roof off.
New singers get a big welcome – just put your name on the list at the door.
