Think cranking rock 'n' roll riffs, moving into Afro-Cuban grooves, to funky beats straight out of the late James Brown's personal repertoire. From soul comes the wailing moaning blues, over to sweet Appalachian ditties, and then down to wild tunes from the dark folds of Eastern Europe. Forbidden Joe aren't your average salty old sea dogs, and they don't do weddings. They sing, harmonise, shape and deliver their music with vibrant energy. All this, from just a concertina, 'cello, and banjo. And voices. |

The 4th Sunday in March is Easter Sunday, so there will be no concert that night. Instead the March concert will be held the following weekend on Sunday 30th.
As luck would have it, there are 5 Sundays in March, and that means we can have one of our ever-popular blackboard concerts. Get along to the club in good time to put your name on the board before the spaces run out. |
