PREVIEW
Folk In The Foyer: Steve Ashley & Mike Weaver
Evesham Arts Centre|Thursday 26th May
From strength to strength goes the Evesham Arts Centre's
Folk In The Foyer season, as it comes up trumps again when
Steve Ashely graces the venue with his presence together with
formidable support from Mike Weaver on Thursday 26th May.
Steve Ashely
In the words of none other
than Mike Harding himself,
Steve Ashely is "..one of the
British folk scene's finest
singer-songwriters" and comes
with a top class pedigree
having recorded with the likes
of Anne Briggs, Shirley Collins,
Robin Williamson and the
various Thompsons (you know
their names!).
Previously a member of The
Albion Country Band and his
own Ragged Robin Steve has
had his own penned singular
material covered by a whole host of luminaries such as Fairport,
Wizz Jones, Martin Simpson, Phil Beer and legions of others. If
this is not enough to get you hot-footing it to Evesham Arts
Centre then the cherry on the cake is the support by none other
than Folk In The Foyer fundraising and founder stalwart Mike
Weaver, who will doubtless warm up the crowd wonderfully for
what is bound to prove another cracking night of Folk In The Foyer.

Raw Comedy!
Evesham Arts Centre|Friday 6th May
A fresh bunch of comedy faces will fill the arts centre foyer on
Friday 6th March for another great-value Raw Comedy night -
bringing a huge variety of comedy styles.
May's headline act is Birmingham's boss of deadpan one-liners
& short stories Lovdev Barpaga, delivering proper jokes with
proper punchlines. MC for the night will be unashamedly middleclass
Matthew Baylis who has gigged with the likes of Harry Hill,
Milton Jones, Reginald D Hunter etc..
There will be another 6, yes 6,
terrific turns on the night, all new but
rising talent who here at Evesham
Arts are given a 10-15 minute slot to
try out material and hone their act.
This is what makes it raw, exciting -
expect the unexpected.
Look up the following names, go
and support them and you can be
smug when they hit the Big Time and
say "Of course I saw them at my local
Arts Centre - before they were famous".
Here goes: Sally Firth, Billy
McGuire, Thomas Rackham, Ben
Lovdev
Barpaga
Glover, Josh Pugh and Lucas Johnson: hailing from Canada to
Birmingham and most points inbetween, this line-up is bound to
impress. Tickets for Raw Comedy are limited and popular, so
advancing booking is recommended (and cheaper!) so - the acts
are good, the atmosphere is great and the price is right..what are
you waiting for?!
