Part of a 3 day event, it was an opportunity for the whole extended band lineup to play, having both Aldo and Ian with us. A great stage and PA were provided, and two sets were played with the bands classic mix of tunes and songs. Video will be added soon!

More gigs are imminent including one at an Irish Social club in Kent.]]>Newick Folk2020-11-12T17:55:19+00:00https://www.newickfolk.com/files/Alan-Rae-RIP.html#unique-entry-id-17https://www.newickfolk.com/files/Alan-Rae-RIP.html#unique-entry-id-17

A wonderfully positive and creative force has been lost to the world, and there is a hole in our lives never to be filled. Newick Folk will move forward as a legacy for all the fantastic work Alan put into the band and all we do. Our wonderful double CD still allows us to enjoy the performances we recorded of Alan and also the departed Jem Cooper.

Karn will now take up the reins at the front of the band, also playing guitar and bouzouki. Ian Smith will provide a very experienced bass replacement for smaller lineups, and Aldo Daniel plays bass where we have Rhiannon Daniel playing violin. Here is a picture of an augmented Newick Folk providing appropriate music for the celebration of Alan's life.]]>Band History2019-08-23T13:52:33+01:00https://www.newickfolk.com/files/more-NF-public-events.html#unique-entry-id-16https://www.newickfolk.com/files/more-NF-public-events.html#unique-entry-id-16

So far this has been a good year, we’ve played various weddings and returned to the Fairwarp Fete and the Vintage Car day at Oakwood Farm. We’ve continued with our monthly pub sessions at the Crown in Newick and supported several local events. And we played a lively Ceilidh on St Patrick’s day at Ovindean village Hall.]]>Band History2016-11-21T11:54:33+00:00https://www.newickfolk.com/files/looking-to-2017.html#unique-entry-id-13https://www.newickfolk.com/files/looking-to-2017.html#unique-entry-id-13

We’re continuing to play every first Sunday of the month at the Crown Inn in Newick and this is gradually attracting more musicians and an ever increasing standard of music.

We’ve also got a couple of new members in the band. Karn Broad who plays Bass when we’re doing Ceilidhs and who has increasingly been depping for Steve and “Professor” Roland Batty on Piano. Roland is an incorrigible boogie player who has both added attack to the dance gigs and has greatly extended the range of numbers that we can attempt.

We welcome them both to the band. Here’s a video of our currently Ceilidh line up performing The Leaving of Liverpool with a brief cameo from Jenny Walton – our splendiferous caller.

It was a balmy summers evening and an audience comprised of Newick residents and our French Guests from Itteville seemed to enjoy all our old standards including Haste to the Wedding, Lily the Pink, My old man’s a Dustman and the Nautical Trilogy that ends up with Martin’s stunning rendition of the Sailor’s Hornpipe.]]>Band History2011-08-09T09:41:41+01:00https://www.newickfolk.com/files/Framfield%20-Newick.html#unique-entry-id-2https://www.newickfolk.com/files/Framfield%20-Newick.html#unique-entry-id-2
