2025
7th January - Singers’ Night
14th January - Theme night: Ploughmen and Poets
21st January - Singers’ Night
28th January - Guest Night: Polly Morris. Best known for her observational comedy songs, Polly Morris has a rare gift of being able to bring people together through her music. All audience members can identify with her songs about the frustrations of mobile phones or internet shopping, whilst her more poignant songs lift the audience away in surprising changes of mood. A multi-instrumentalist, her solo performances are accompanied by her guitar, piano and occasional double-bass. Along with songs from her own albums, Polly will often delight the audience with surprisingly clever spoof songs. Plus, plenty of time for floorspots.
4th, 11th, 18th February - Singers’ Nights
25th February - Guest Night: Morrigan are a three piece acapella folk group from South London. Their music is a blend of traditional and contemporary songs - some self penned - and delivered in three part harmony. Their close harmony singing creates a stunning sound that has won much praise. They are also talented instrumentalists. Plus, plenty of time for floorspots.
4th, 11th - Singers’ Nights
18th March - Celebrating the Life of John White and Tonight we celebrate the long and fascinating life of John White, singer, storyteller, humanist - and one of the founders of Sharp's. John White’s Friends started life as John White and Friends in 2014. John, who sadly died last year at the ripe old age of 104, led the group and was a feast of music hall and folk songs as well as poetry and monologues. John White’s Friends will do a couple of sets reflecting the music they used to sing together with John and there will be plenty of room for floor singers, including many who will wish to remember this lovely man.
25th March - Guest Night: Discovery Duo Discovery are Jeff and Elaine Gillett. They sing traditional and modern folk songs which they present with warmth and humour and with the accent on story-telling. Their richly varied repertoire includes songs that will make the audience laugh, cry – or sing along. A unique element is Jeff’s settings of poems from William Blake’s ‘Songs of Innocence and of Experience’. They perform in unaccompanied vocal harmony or with the songs enhanced by Jeff’s supremely tasteful, restrained yet inventive accompaniments on guitar, English concertina, Appalachian dulcimer and mandola.
Jeff has previously accompanied (among others) RonTaylor, Sarah Morgan, Jim Causley and Marianne McAleer. He has been described by Keith Kendrick as ‘arguably the most sensitive accompanist on planet Earth’. They have just released their second CD: ‘Different Stories All Together’.
