WELCOME
WELCOME
Brighten those dull winter evenings with a visit to the David Hall and enjoy some of our
diverse events during the first half of 2012.
If you browse through this programme you'll surely find plenty to tempt you from our list of
music, film and drama productions. Following the success of Petherton Poetry week, we've
added a Spoken Word event and the Open Mic sessions have proved popular on Fridays
(but watch out for the occasional Saturday with supper thrown in). Our fund-raising events
continue to provide for the maintenance and improvements to our Grade 2 listed building.
On June 30th we are to be part of the Petherton Folk Fest - a one-day celebration of music,
song and dance in South Petherton - more details will emerge.
Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing you here at the Hall.

Michael Roach + Stompin’ Dave Allen

Blow away those January winter blues with a night of the
highest quality acoustic music. Michael Roach has
performed across the globe including many of the major
blues festivals. Michael is originally from Washington DC,
USA, and founder of the European Blues Association. He
is regarded as one of today’s finest exponents of East
Coast blues. As well as being an amazing singer and
guitarist, with a passion for playing live, he is a respected
historian. Michael has lectured for the Smithsonian Institute,
Oxford University, and presented on BBC Radio 4.
Stompin’ Dave Allen best known for his madcap hillbilly
flat footing, has in fact been making some serious
waves on the UK’s blues scene. Joined by the award

Jane Eyre (PG)
Director: Gary Fukungaga
Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell, Sally Hawkins
Jane Eyre flees Thornfield House, where she works as a governess for wealthy Edward
Rochester. The isolated and imposing residence - and Mr. Rochester's coldness - have sorely
tested the young woman's resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. As Jane
reflects upon her past and recovers her natural curiosity, she will return to Mr. Rochester - and
the terrible secret that he is hiding...

Paul Jones
and Dave Kelly
These long standing co-vocalists with The Blues Band get a
big buzz out of taking things down a level, simplifying the music
a little, and plying their trade as a duo, thus imbuing their very
own personal and individual approaches to a dynamic, rootsy
and exhilarating set of Country Blues. Venues large and small
have been hushed and then enraptured by the sense of ‘old
times’ in the Mississippi Delta. www.thebluesband.net
"A spell-binding evening of intense country blues, passionately
performed". "These guys transport you to another time, another
place - they sure know where their hearts lie"
Pete Says: I bumped into Paul two years ago in a National Trust café,
he promised to come with Dave and he has kept his word. Two of
the true greats of the British Blues scene. Book early to avoid
disappointment.
The Conspirator (12A)
Director: Robert Redford
Cast: James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Tom Wilkinson

charged, Mary Surratt (Wright), owns a boarding house where the conspirators met... can she
prove that she is an innocent person caught up in events?
"Atmospheric, illuminating and affecting, The Conspirator captivates like an untold story..."

In Conversation with…
In Conversation with..., South Petherton’s own chat
show at the David Hall, will celebrate 5 years in
2012 and who better to have as one of our guests
but our very first guest back in 2007, David Laws,
our local MP. David has seen a lot of changes in
the last 5 years, particularly in the last 2 years, and
it will be fascinating to get an insight from him
being in the spotlight during that time.
In addition, we are delighted to confirm that Robin
Ballard will also be telling us about his interesting
and varied life ranging from a medical training and
background in countries as wide as apart as the
UK, Iran and Africa. He also has wide interests in
the Parish with connections to the Infants School,
the eclectic band of clock winders and the Church.
He is well known as an excellent raconteur, talks
often about Georgian properties and promises to
be very entertaining.
We look forward to you joining us for this important
fund raiser for the David Hall. It promises to be
fun, informative and stimulating!

Tim Edey and
Brendan Power
Adventurous creative players are
drawn to each other, and the first time
Tim and Brendan met the musical
sparks flew! The magic erupted
whenever they played, so they finally
decided to resist the urge no longer
and get serious as a performance duo.
Tim Edey is one of the finest multiinstrumental players of his generation
in the worldwide Celtic music scene,
a virtuoso on both acoustic guitar and
button accordion. UK based Kiwi
harmonica player and composer
Brendan Power is acknowledged by
many as one of the most versatile and
creative harp players around today.
The duo’s powerful blend of passion
and virtuosity is infectious. What sets
them apart from most folk/Celtic acts is their free-wheeling approach to live performance. Tim
and Brendan love to improvise, which means that every time they do a piece it sounds different
& fresh. It's that sheer mad spontaneity which unfailingly captures audiences everywhere!
www.edeyandpower.com
“It’s Folk Jim, but not as we know it!” Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
Pete Says: I am really pleased to have Tim and Brendan performing here. They are fantastic musicians
who will provide a night of quality music interspersed with a lot of surprises. This is their first time here
but I have no doubt you will be calling for an early return.

ahab
This up and coming collective from
London's Dalston was formed in
2009, after being invited to play the
Fanfare Festival in Nashville,
Tennessee.
After time spent writing new material
and layering the songs thick with
harmonies, ahab decided to hit the
streets of London markets to put their
name around. Two months of
busking later, Callum Adamson, Dave
Burn, Seebe Llewellyn and Luke Price
have acquired such a cult following
that they are banned from practically
every market in London, as crowds
block the streets wherever they play.
They now have their first tour behind
them, plus many festival appearances and most recently have been seen as guests on the
Bellowhead Tour. www.ahabofficial.com
Opening Support by Louise Jordan. www.louisejordan.co.uk
Pete Says: I saw this band at Cropredy last year and, like most others, was 'blown away' by the songs,
musicianship and 'star' quality of this fantastic quartet. Due to unforeseen circumstances the gig last
September had to be cancelled. I am very pleased as that date clashed with my daughter’s wedding!
This is Indie/Folk music at its very best. My favorite band of the moment.

Gina Griffin - fiddle and vocals, Rex
Preston - mandolin
Originally formed for a one-off show at
Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow,
The Scoville Units couldn’t possibly have
left it there; they were having too much
fun!
The Scoville Units are a collective of six
prominent faces from several different
corners of the British folk and acoustic
music scene. Each member throws in
his or her strong musical identity, creating
an ensemble that is not only very different
but, if you talk to those lucky enough to
have caught one of their early shows,
extremely fresh and exciting. People are
beginning to talk!
www.thescovilleunits.com
Pete Says: This is an exceptional band which we are very lucky to have playing at our small but special
venue. This will sell out quickly. The musical influences of the 6 artists are such that the music will be
wide ranging and very unique. This is a band whose reputation is quickly growing and ‘stardom’ beckons.

Andy Cutting
Andy Cutting is a rarity. A musician's musician (BBC Radio 2 Folk
Award Winner Best Musician 2009): a soulful and technically
outstanding melodeon practitioner with an ear for a fine tune. Many
of his tunes have been purloined along the way: some considered
contemporary classics on the folk scene.
There are few melodeon players who put so much feeling into their
playing, whether it is a set of dance tunes, or accompaniment to a
slow English ballad. www.andy-cutting.co.uk
"Andy is the consummate accompanist, harmonically, rhythmically
and melodically and an exquisite soloist. There is no one I'd rather
work with." Martin Simpson
Pete Says: Last with us over 10 years ago with Martin Simpson, it is a pleasure
to welcome Andy on this his first solo tour. Without doubt one of the best
melodeon players on the planet. A really memorable night is promised.

for half a century has travelled
the world with just a guitar
and an immense collection
of stories gathered through
his own experiences. That
kind of says it all.
www.richarddigance.com
Pete Says: This is Richard’s third

attend are in for a night of both
laughter and reflection. Richard

Gauche and spend the evening watching the new, highly acclaimed Woody Allen film “Midnight
in Paris”. Come dressed as something suitably French (Guillotines will be confiscated by the
staff before you are allowed entry) or just come as you are. At a suitable point there will be
an intermission and a French themed light supper will be served.

- Singing, gutbucket bass, accordion,
electric bass, guitar, banjo, glockenspiel,
harmonica, keys; Benny Sidelinger - Singing,
dobro, guitar, banjo, electric bass, keys;
Mikey Lightning - Singing, drums, keys
The interplay between this band is truly
something to behold. They are distinct voices
with incredible harmonies; multiple
instrumentalists who bring the perfect sound
to each song and songwriters who pen
poetic tunes you'll find yourself humming.
Suffice to say Po'Girl makes 21st Century roots music, urban roots - never derivative, not
faithfully aping a beloved tradition. Russell, Teixeira, Sidelinger, and August don't re-hash the
old forms, they reshape and reinvigorate them for new ears. Like genuine gypsies, they wander
and play - out on the international road bringing their unique brand of pan North Americana
to a widespread audience 250 to 300 days of the year. www.pogirl.net
Pete Says: I have tried for many years to get this band to the hall. They are fantastic live and have built
up a large following throughout the UK and beyond. Their music is extremely varied in content but
consistent in quality. A really great band who are certain to provide a night to remember.

Fairport Acoustic Convention
Features: Simon Nicol - guitar and lead vocals; Dave
Pegg - bass and backing vocals; Chris Leslie fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki and lead vocals; Ric
Sanders - violin; Gerry Conway - drums and
percussion.
Hailed as the originators of British folk-rock music,
Fairport Convention is celebrating its forty-fifth
anniversary as one of the most entertaining bands
on the live music scene. This year's tour will feature
songs from Fairport's most recent studio album, the
critically acclaimed Festival Bell. But the band has
a vast repertoire to draw on and this concert will
include favourites chosen by audiences as well as
the new material. www.fairportconvention.com
Pete Says: We really missed Fairport in 2011 and therefore
we are delighted to have them back with us. It is to our
advantage that they love playing here as much as we love
having them. This sold out in 2010 for 2 nights so getting
tickets will be difficult. Booking very early is essential.

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School present
Cold Comfort Farm
by Paul Doust
Adapted from the novel by Stella Gibbons
Directed by Christopher Scott
Stella Gibbons’ Cold Comfort Farm has found a place in the hearts
of many devotees of the comic English novel, parodying as it does
the romantic stories of D H Lawrence and Mary Webb. In Paul Doust’s
hilarious stage play, the heroine, Flora Poste, embarks upon a quest
to discover her family’s roots, and as a result the “nice girl from
London” meets the rough and ready Starkadders of Cold Comfort
Farm.
Who can fail to enjoy her meeting the likes of evil old Aunt Ada Doom,
the fey Elfine and the smoldering Seth. Come with us into a world
where there’s something nasty in the woodshed, where porridge
pulsates with the latent lust of rural romance, and the Sukebind draws
you ever closer into an intrigue that will keep you gripped and laughing in equal measure.
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School brings you the “Stars of Tomorrow in a Play for Today.”

The Churchfitters
This flamboyant group of musicians from England, Ireland and France is taking UK audiences
by storm with their unique and energetic perfomances. Four dynamic personalities present a
fast-paced infectious show full of fresh, original songwriting as well as rearranged songs and
tunes from the British Isles, uniting the rhythms of rock, pop and jazz with the universal appeal
of traditional music. www.churchfitters.com
Pete Says: Following their sell-out gig here early in 2011 it is a real pleasure to welcome back this unique
band. Four quality musicians, who really know how to entertain. Expect the unexpected. Highly
recommended.

which was released in September 2010 on the
prestigious Topic Records. www.fayhield.com
Pete Says: A really warm welcome to Fay and her Trio.
Currently one of the ‘hottest’ acts on the folk circuit this is a gig I am really looking forward to. Superb

Petherton Folk Fest
Good news! The Petherton Folk Festival, after
a 15 year break, is to be revived in 2012 on a
one day basis.
This event is very much still in the planning stage but please
put a note in your diary.
There will be dance and live music in the village square
together with stalls, food and a craft market. Open mic sessions
will be held in the Brewers Arms together with a late evening
performance from the excellent local band ‘Bag of Rats’.
There will also be events in
the main church and the
Blake Hall. Workshops for all
ages will also be taking place.
To get everyone in the mood
a ceilidh featuring
FIDDLESTIX and Caller will
be held on the Friday evening
at The Brewers Arms.
We really hope that this event
will be well supported and will be the start of a new era in
the life of the much loved Petherton Folk Festival.
It is a real pleasure to welcome Rory and Reg to The David
Hall for two outstanding concerts. Rory McLeod at 5pm and
Reg Meuross and Friends at 9pm.
Further details and ticket prices
will be circulated soon.
