Rattle On The Stovepipe are Dave Arthur (5-string banjo, melodeon, guitar, vocals), Pete Cooper (fiddle and vocals) and Dan Stewart (5-string banjo, guitar and vocals). They’ve gained an enthusiastic folk club following with their mix of traditional songs, ballads and dance tunes from the British Isles and the Appalachian Mountains region of America. Their 2006 CD with Chris Moreton, ‘Eight More Miles’ (Wild Goose, WGS 333), and the 2009 ‘no use in cryin’ with Dan Stewart has spread their reputation more widely.

Acoustic guitar-driven, fiddle-splashed, harmony-filled, lovely London folk music!  Black Scarr is a duo comprising Johnny Black and one of our regular floor spot performers and favourite lyricists Emma Scarr.  Here’s a bit about them from their website:

East London singer-songwriters Johnny Black and Emma Scarr  have embarked upon a very exciting duo adventure. Their fondness for a good old fashioned styled duet’s has inspired them to write some up to date songs for our times, and their place – Walthamstow, leytonstone, and not very much further beyond. Their distinctive voices, instrumental styles and mix of hard-hitting (his) and understated but plain-spoken (hers) writing have produced a set of songs that are musically striking and lyrically captivating.

Stick In The Wheel is a London-based trio of folk musicians playing dobro-driven songs with harmonies that conjure old time folk singalongs.  Their material includes traditional as well as self-penned numbers.  They have been doing a residency at the EFDSS at Cecil Sharp House this autumn, talking to the people behind the scenes as well as the performers, to find out more about the place “at the heart of English Folk”.
