Fingerstyle guitar virtuoso Steve Hicks and singer songwriter Lynn Goulbourn met at a gig in 2007. With a mutual love of folk, jazz, roots and acoustic genres, their musical partnership has flourished and taken them to all corners of the UK, to Germany, France, The Netherlands and the USA. They thrive on the creative process of stretching established boundaries and perform mesmeric arrangements of traditional, contemporary and self – penned songs and music.

Tommy Sands
Entry Members £8.00 Visitors £12.00
Tommy Sands new book, published in the UK in 2005 and now available in the US, shows the rare gift of combining objectivity with passion. His fine mellow prose sparkles with humour and compassion. With a Fenian fiddle in one ear and an Orange drum in the other, Sands was reared in the foothills of Mourne Mountains. His family was immersed in folk music; his father played fiddle, his mother accordion. Their kitchen was a place where Protestant and Catholic farmers alike would gather to sing at the end of a day's harvesting. The Songman is the story of Sands remarkable journey, the turbulent days of the civil rights movement, encounters with The Bothy Band, Pete Seeger, Ian Paisley, and a 'defining moment' during the Good Friday Agreement talks.
