For one night only we're relocating to The Wellington Inn ("The Welly") in Wolviston TS22 5JY |
| 17th Sept | Luke Daniels - multi-talented performer, a master melodeon player and fine singer who mixes the traditional with beautifully crafted new songs.

| 5th Nov | Dave Goulder - A rare opportunity to hear the writer of The January Man, one of the best songs to come out of the folk revival, as witnessed by the many singers who have performed and recorded it. Many more excellent songs were inspired by his interests and experience as a naturalist, railwayman and dry stone waller. In the latter role he achieved the status of master craftsman and it has often been said that this accolade applies equally to his songwritingand and singing. |
