| CONCERT - Tom McConville & David Newey - The Church House, South Tawton, Devon - Nr South Zeal, Nr Okehampton - Tickets £7.00 When Tom McConville takes a traditional tune or song, he really works on it. With either fiddle or voice (or indeed both at the same time), he explores all the possibilities of pace, decoration, and expression, and whilst the product has the unmistakeable McConville sound, it’s always true to the tradition. What he has is the knack of knowing when to go wild with a tune and when to keep it tight, a fine judgement which only comes with experience and deep feeling for the music. He brings these skills to a wide range of material, from the 19th Century James Hill to the 21st century Richard Thompson. For tickets contact Mark and Sarah 01837 840775 Church House has a maximum capacity of about 50 people so please do book in advance. All concerts are held without amplification; The Seven Stars pub is just across the road and you are welcome to bring drinks from there or from home to the concerts. |
