PROGRAMME FOR 2011

Don't forget that ALL THURSDAYS not shown below are still terrific fun - we always have wonderful local musicians playing a variety of styles, songs and music


20th Jan ALTERNATIVE BURNS EVENING WITH BEER’S LAW (tbc)
Jan Moncrieff, Phil McCready and Alan McLean have provided us with many enjoyable evenings of music in the form of the Crow Road Band. Scottish songs, with an emphasis on Robert Burns, will feature. The usual haggis and accompaniments should also be available! Always a popular evening at the Windmill.
17th Feb NORTH DRIVE
Richard Holland is well known to most Windmill punters as he plays regularly with Gary and Sherryl. His new band, North Drive, did an impressive floor spot about a year ago. At last we have been able to book them to play at the Windmill – don’t miss this great new band!
17th Mar ST PATRICK'S NIGHT with KELLYS AYE
This year our Irish evening actually occurs on St Patrick’s day. So, join Felix and Kathy, with ‘a little help from their friends’ (Steve & Liss) on an evening of Irish songs and tunes. Chorus sheets will be provided for all those sing along numbers – always a fun evening!
14th Apr WENDY ARROWSMITH
“Wendy Arrowsmith has a voice that can stop you in your tracks” says R2 (Rock ‘n’ Reel) Magazine, and who are we to argue? Sounds like a great night , don't miss it!
28th Apr ANDY CLARKE
Andy is an excellent singer and instrumentalist and he performs both solo and in various bands. His solo material is based on traditional songs but he brings something new to these with his clever instrumental work. A welcome visit by a new musician to the Windmill.
19th May A BAND LIKE ALICE
This is one of the top bluegrass bands in the country, with our own Gary and Sherryl Payne in the lineup, along with other talented musicians - always very popular guests at the Windmill. What more can I say except get there early if you want to find a seat!
16th Jun MIKE SILVER
Mike's finely crafted songs, musicianship and stage presence have made him a popular performer on the UK folk circuit. Over the years he has played with many fine musicians (such as Ralph McTell) both in this country and other parts of the world. It's with great pleasure that we welcome this fine artist to the Windmill.

July

No guests, but singers nights continue on Thursdays as usual.

August

We're closed for the month.

1st Sep

The club reopens after the summer break.

22nd Sep

STEVE KAUFMAN
Steve is an amazing bluegrass, flatpicking, guitarist from the United States. He normally performs at large venues, but on his visits to the UK he enjoys playing occasionally at more intimate venues, such as the Windmill. I believe this is his third visit to the club and no doubt he will draw in a large audience for the event as he has done on previous occasions.

October

No guests, but singers nights continue on Thursdays as usual.

24th Nov

OWEN & JULIE MUNFORD and MARTIN'S CHOICE
Owen and Julie have delighted us with their performances both at The Windmill and their gospel singalong at the Boar's Bridge Festival - so expect more of the same! DON PAYNE and his friends will finish off the evening in their inimitable style. An evening of fun and good music to be enjoyed by all.

22nd Dec

CHRISTMAS PARTY
This is usually a busy evening (probably 2 songs each) with everyone getting in the festive spirit. A small contribution to the food table is welcome. The pub normally supplies us with a selection of sandwiches. The Christmas post box should be available from early December (to allow us time to sort out the mail before the 22nd).
