This Saturday: Feb 5th - The Tom McConville Big Band
The Newcastle fiddle player, Tom McConville, is one of the leading folk fiddle players of our time. A virtuoso musician and fantastic singer, his rich, warm voice makes his interpretations of traditional and contemporary songs greatly admired by singers throughout the world. He has played on literally hundreds of albums and whilst he has shared stages throughout the world with many big names he has never forgotten his roots in Tyneside.
Watch Tom here:
His big band line-up includes David Newey, Shona Kipling and Phil Murray, whose performances combine a roller coaster of musical delights.
“Scintillating fiddle, a silky smooth tone, a wide grin and a dry Geordie wit.'”
"Tom is a great player, and a terrific singer, he happens to be a number one bloke too." Dave Swarbrick
"This band is quite simply the top of the tree." Mike Harding
