HOOKED ON SONG
Denny and Jon make a welcome return to the Folk Club, to perform
again in their original guise as an acoustic duo. Their musical
partnership goes back to the mid-1990s, when they first performed
together at the Folk Club. The selection of songs on that night
and the style in which they were delivered, earned them
reputation as “a very special blend” (but most unlike
Espresso!).
With Jon’s inclusion in the band Rua, the partnership was
given further room to flourish and ,not shy of coining phrases,
they became known as the “Ballard Section” of this
Celtic Collection.
As a duo, they have performed at National Folk Festivals,
Summertimes Events and Concerts, and have played support to
touring artists, including English Folk Maestro, Ralph
McTell.
Drawing from a rich source of legendary and contemporary
songwriters, this promises to be a highly engaging evening, with
music from many a heart.
“Jon’s superb guitar craft complements Denny’s
warm, expressive singing, beautifully.
