Described by Fairport Convention as a National Treasure, this singer-songwriter has been an integral part of the UK music scene for 30 years. Anthony John Clarke is originally from Belfast, AJ emerged there with his songs ‘The Broken Years’ and ‘The Only Life Gloria Knows’, but now presents as one of the most humorous and entertaining acts around. Audiences cannot resist the musical invitations to sing from this true gentleman of the music world. Expect a degree of sentiment, but also songs covering topics from the Man From Uncle to Car Boot Sales, Presidents, Karaoke Nights, Nuns, Grandchildren and how to avoid them (he has at least five), Camping, Bigots, and Hitchhiking. This man is perhaps the funniest at serious songs and the most serious about funny songs. Enjoy the ride with AJ and everyone is advised to bring all necessary medication!

For almost 50 years BOB FOX has been regarded as one of “the iconic voices” of British folk song. Deeply influenced by the working class culture and industrial history of his native County Durham he has become a first rate exponent of storytelling through song.
A career that began during the vibrant “folk revival” of the 60s and 70s in England led BOB into regular and extensive touring throughout the UK, Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand, firstly with fellow North Easterner Stu Luckley in their groundbreaking acoustic duo and later alongside such musical heavyweights as Ralph McTell, Richard Thompson, Jethro Tull and Fairport Convention.

Kip Winter learned piano from age 9. Bought a second-hand flute for Fr400 when living in France in 1980 and has subsequently "pootled" on guitar, tenor guitar, bass, piano accordion and tenor ukulele.
But mainly she loves to sing - anything from classical and jazz to soul, but especially folk and blues.
Dave Wilson plays mainly Martin guitars, plus a handmade Nick Benjamin.
Occasionally he has a "rock god moment" when he gets the chance to play his Fender Strat.

The Hunch in Concert at the Festival Hall, Caistor Rd, Market Rasen LN8 3HT Lincolnshire.
Friday June 20th 2025
Doors open 7:15pm for 8pm start.
Tickets £12 which can be reserved through Les Worrall by calling 01673 843036 or 07771 745470 or email les@worrall.myzen.co.uk.
People reserving 5 or more tickets as a group, will be guaranteed a reserved table to ensure the group is kept together.
Four musicians at the top of their game, honed from years of performance. With talent in great measure, they showcase their creativity & technical brilliance in every song. Intriguingly crafted classics and soul searching ballads shine with four-part harmonies and instrumental virtuosity, all introduced with dry wit and audacious humour.
Mick Doonan was a founder member of the legendary 70s folk-rock band Hedgehog Pie and comes from the famous Tyneside dynasty. John Doonan Snr, was an All-Ireland flute champion. Michael also fronts The Mighty Doonan’s folk-rock band. In The Hunch he provides vocals as well as flutes and pipes.
Bob Thomas fronted another highly respected folk-rock outfit, Kitsyke Will, and has since lent his wonderful soul-inflected vocal style to The Solicitors, as well as singing, playing percussion and harmonica with The Hunch.
Alongside these two are the stunning acoustic guitarist/vocalist Chris Hanks and keyboards/accordionist/vocalist Tony Bacon, both alumni of West Yorkshire’s thriving roots scene.
A collective ready wit & easy rapport with audiences of all sizes ensures that any gig involving The Hunch goes with a swing - tasteful, exciting, assured, soulful, enjoyable and lasting in the memory.
The Hunch, with a fantastic selection on their debut album ‘Released’ (2023)
Don’t let the ‘debut’ lead you to think that these are newbies, far from it. They are seasoned performers with decades of performing under their belts, and it shows. Lead by Mick Doonan and Bob Thomas, on this album you get an eclectic fusion of Irish Trad, Folk, Latin and Americana. Mick’s husky gravel tones totally suited to the songs he performs such as: Paddy Lay Back - Help - What if God was one of us - I Shall be Released. Bobs take on some classics, A Simple Life - Little Sister - Gunmetal Grey balance the offering perfectly.
Mick and Bob are accompanied by the amazing individual talents of Tony Bacon on piano and squeezebox, Chris Hanks on guitar and Marcus on the Cajon Drum.
Mick’s amazing uilleann pipe playing, blending beautifully with Bob’s Harmonica, provide the listener with a feast of melodic genius. This album is definitely a Keeper.
I’ve seen these guys live, trust me, you leave their gigs feeling uplifted.

Steve Tilston in Concert at the Festival Hall, Caistor Rd, Market Rasen LN8 3HT Lincolnshire.
Friday 12th September 2025
Doors open 7:15pm for 8pm start.
Tickets £12 which can be reserved through Les Worrall by calling 01673 843036 or 07771 745470 or email les@worrall.myzen.co.uk.

Steve Tilston is one of our most celebrated song smiths, widely recognised within the world of folk and contemporary music; the words, arrangements and subtle, quite superb guitar playing could be no one else.
Steve was voted, Fatea Awards Male Vocalist of the Year 2015 and Truth to Tell was chosen as one of The Telegraph’s top folk albums that year too.
He joined an illustrious band of guitarists including Martin Simpson, Michael Messer and Wizz Jones, when he was invited to contribute to the Guitar Maestro series of DVDs; a combination of live studio performance and interviews, revealing the real passion behind these talented musicians… If anyone ever deserved the moniker “Guitar Maestro”, it’s Steve Tilston!
The writer of such classic songs as The Slipjigs and Reels and the award-winning The Reckoning, is also a published author. Steve’s first novel All for Poor Jack is an historical tale set in Bristol and the New World, full of colourful characters. It’s a mighty good read and has been enjoyed by the likes of Bob Dylan no less!
