Call: 01428 652952 -----------------------------------------------Next Up: Friday 11th July 2014 @ 7.15pm: Cathryn Craig & Brian Willoughby (www.craigand willoughby.com) At: Haslemere Educational Museum, 72 High Street, HASLEMERE, Surrey GU27 6LA Brian and Cathryn have created their own genre of music, which they call "Brit Americana". Cathryn was born in Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A. and has spent lots of time recording in Nashville with musicians such as The Righteous Brothers, Chet Atkins and Shel Silverstein. She has applied her substantial songwriting skills to some big issues and she delivers all of her songs with genuine passion. Brian's precision and vituoso playing on both acoustic and electric guitar has meant he has been sought after by the best musicians. Twenty-five years playing as a member of Strawbs, recording and performing with Mary Hopkin, Joe Brown, New World and Roger Whitaker has meant that Brian has continued to improve and develop his guitar technique and he makes a wonderful sound with whatever he plays. We are delighted to have Brian and Cathryn back and their return to Grayshott Folk Club is long overdue. We know that they like to reach out and get to know their audience and they are a warm and engaging couple. The Lecture Room at Haslemere Museum is the perfect place for you to get to know them. Welcome back, Brian and Cathryn!
Support: Steve Dan Mills; Steve Dan Mills is another musician from across the pond and he has been personally recommended to us by Brian Willoughby. His powerful voice combined with his acoustic guitar and harmonica playing elicits tears and laughter from his audiences but ultimately his songs are those of hope.
