The next Saltcellar Folk Club is on Saturday 4th February, 7.30pm, and we are very excited to be welcoming as headline artist Steve Turner, singer and concertina & cittern player.
Steve began his music career on the Manchester folk scene in the 1960s and became professional after winning a Melody Maker award in 1979. In 1991 he took a break from performing to pursue other interests and made a welcome return to the stage and recording studio in 2004.
His 2008 album The Whirligig of Time featured guests Martin Carthy, Nancy Kerr & James Fagan and Miranda Sykes and received glowing reviews, including the following:
- This CD is a triumph and deserves to be recognised as one of the year’s best traditional albums
- Steve Turner is one of the finest exponents of concertina accompaniments around, if not the best.
- His interpretative power with narrative ballads reigns supreme – a mature and accomplished folk talent.
- This is a great CD....... Go and see him live!
Steve has a new CD, Rim of the Wheel, released in December 2011 and he was featured on The Mike Harding Show on Radio 2 in November. Read more about him on his website www.steve-turner.co.uk.
The Saltcellar Folk Club starts at 7.30pm, admission is £6 on the door. The evening will start with performances from the floor. If you would like to perform, please come early and make yourself known.
