THIS IS OUR LAST YEAR |
2015
sees the last year of Life & Times, at least in its current form. We have
been working together since summer 1983 and our first festival appearance was
at Luton Folk Festival that year. Our first club
appearance was at Stevenage Folk Club
at the end of September. In both cases we presented our first show, Strawplait & Bonelace, which went on
to be recorded by Fellside Recordings (FE043) the following year. After
many years working together, Barry has decided to retire from the duo. It is
unclear at the moment what Graeme is planning to do but may seek to work with
another squeezebox player/singer for a few more years, should one be found to
become part of a duo! Audition now, if you are interested! We
will have worked together for over 32 years by then (more than half Graeme’s
age! – honest!) and we’ve had some great times, performing around the country
at clubs and at most (if not all) the major folk festivals as well as many
other venues. We’d like to thank our many listeners who have enjoyed our
music which should continue to be enjoyed at https://soundcloud.com/lifeandtimes-uk. Please make the most of this last year
and come and see us while you still can. Bookings are still being taken for
this year so get in while there is still time. Our canal show, in particular,
is still available, as are our general club performances. |
