English Perspectives 2008
Event 11 - Marden House - 7.30pm
New Scorpion - Bold Nelson’s Praise
We welcome the return of one of our top UK folk bands (perhaps the top band) who will give us an evening of high entertainment with an amazing array of instruments plus outstanding vocals. Their leader, Tim Laycock, has long been active on the west-country music scene and first appeared in our Festival about twelve years ago; other members are Brian Gulland, Robin Jeffrey, Robert White and Sharon Lindo who performs regularly in Devizes and other nearby venues. Robin and Sharon will have arrived hotfoot from the Globe Theatre in London where they have been performing throughout the Summer. All are multi-instrumentalists and familiar with a wide range of folk styles.
	In keeping with our theme of English Perspectives the show will incorporate music, songs, readings and poetry about the events surrounding the great national hero and those who served alongside. The entertaining group, dressed in full 18th century regalia, will deliver a smouldering broadside of songs, poetry and prose.
