Friday 27th January at Cambridge Folk Club - The John Ward Trio January 26, 2023 09:46

The John Ward Trio, Lynne, John and Les, played live and chatted with Kerry Devine on this week’s BBC Radio Cambridgeshire Folk Show. You can hear it here.

They featured some numbers from their latest album Congress, which celebrates how Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West show came to the Lowestoft in 1903. John Ward’s CD and self-penned songs imagine the scenario when two fictional families, one Native American and the other from the Suffolk fishing community, come into contact with each other. Evoking the American West, the despair of the native Americans at their disappearing lands and culture, Suffolk seascapes and the hard lives of the fishing families, as well as the excitement of the show itself,  the music on the new album is incredibly varied and beautifully performed. Exploring ideas of freedom, division and unity, John’s lyrics shed new light on a little-known, interesting piece of local history.

If you haven’t heard the John Ward Trio before, you’re in for a treat, they’re tremendous – great material, arrangements and harmonies.

Come along on Friday to hear more, when they’ll be playing material from their earlier albums as well as the new one.

Supporting them will be another musician originally from Suffolk, Eric Sedge.


We now have a floor spot at the beginning of some of our evenings November 24, 2022 19:19

We have just started including floorspots at the beginning of  some our evenings, as there are so many excellent musicians wanting to play for us. To fit in all the music, this means starting promptly at 8:00pm. It would be really great if you could come along in time to hear and support them.

Our floorspot musician this Friday, 25th November, is Faradena Afifi, one of the most versatile and talented musicians around. She’s a multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger, and a great singer too.
