PROGRAMME FOR 2012Don'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 |
19 Jan | Alternative Burns Evening with The Crow Road Band The week before the actual Burns evening, with Jan, Phil, Alan and Tony. There will be Scottish songs but not exclusively from the pen of Burns. We expect the usual haggis and accompaniments and an address to the haggis from Tony (a highlight of the evening!) and Scottish quiz. Always a fun event and popular with Windmill audiences. |

16 Feb | Mike the Uke and friends Mike Hayllor, affectionately known as Mike the Uke, has been entertaining audiences at the Windmill (and further afield) on his ukelele for some years now. He sings mainly his own material, well crafted songs to really make you think or smile wryly. He is planning to pull in a few other musicians on this occasion and make this an evening to really look forward to. |

15 Mar | St Patrick's night with Kellys Aye Once again it is time to celebrate St Patrick's day. Felix and Kathy, with the help of some friends, will provide the entertainment - Irish songs and tunes, including chances for audience participation (words provided!). So, oil your vocal chords and come prepared to join us in an evening of good music and fun. |

26 Apr | No Small Thing - Steve Messenger and Liss Lynch Steve, guitar wizard and Liss, fiddle expert, have been playing together for some years now, both as a duo and in a couple of bands. They perform a wide range of material, from self penned to anything that takes their fancy, and have recently been adding new instruments to their fields of expertise. Bound to be a great evening! |
