Next Saturday (1st December) the Saltcellar Folk Club will welcome the Yirdbards. They are a trio from Wiltshire that include Paul Darby (vocals), Pat Randall (guitar, backing vocals) and Verity Sharp (cello, fiddle).
The Yirdbards are regulars on the West Country folk scene and have featured on local and national radio. They have performed at a number of festivals in 2012, including Dorset's Purbeck Folk Festival and Wiltshire's Village Pump Festival. Their songs include many written by close friends and often focus on humanity's relationship with nature, landscape and society. The name "Yirdbards" means "Earth Poets".
The Saltcellar Folk Club will be open from 7.30pm in the basement of Totterdown Baptist Church on Wells Road and any singers or musicians who would like to perform "from the floor" should let us know at the start of the evening. The entrance fee on Saturday will be £6.
