January 12 Featured guests - Bearwood This is a local trio comprising Mandy Shora, Steve Jackson and Colin Bailie. They play guitar, flute and bouzouki and all contribute to the vocals. Their material is a mix of traditional and self penned songs. When they performed at our Christmas party in 2016 they bowled us over with some beautiful harmony singing. It's great to be able to feature a talented local band to kick off 2018. February 9 Blossom Hill Over the years Gary and Sherryl Payne have provided us with entertaining evenings under the name of Payne's People. This year they are doing something different. Their revived band, Blossom Hill, which also includes Richard Holland and Ed Armstrong, are going to be our guests. Some of you will already have heard them perform at Boars Bridge Festival. Their material is mainly American including Bluegrass. This should be a lively and fun evening! March 9 Sally Ironmonger and Brian Carter Sally is a lady with a great voice that needs no amplification. Husband Brian is a fine guitarist and her accompanist. They write much if their own material, based on their home area in Kent. Their songs include a mix of humour, melancholy and fun. It's 2 years since their last visit so we are pleased to welcome them back to Poppy's - an evening not to miss! April 13 Singers night May 11 Jim MacLean Our LAST NIGHT at Blackwater Valley Golf Centre so who better to see us off than Jim MacLean, a popular guest and club supporter who needs no introduction to Poppy's audiences. He is a great guitarist, song writer and all round performer. This is bound to be a busy evening so be sure you get there early if you want a good seat!

October 12 Guest - Lynne Whiteland and friends Lynne is one half of the Tudor Lodge duo who perform frequently at the club. On this occasion she is pulling in some other musicians to play and sing with her.

Instrumentally and vocally they are excellent entertainers, with a wonderful range of songs, many self written, but including material from other songwriters. This is a special occasion, so do support us for what will I'm sure be another wonderful Poppy's evening.
