& The Mellow Virginians
Fri February 27
Northwick Arms
8 pm
This
world class collective on mandolin, violin, guitar and bass will
light up your evening with an addictive blend of 30s, 40s and 50s
jazz, swing, ragtime, country blues and some original tunes.
The
band features composer, wit, fiddler and guitarist Simon Mayor, three
time UK banjo champion Richard Collins and sublime English folk
vocalist Hilary James, who is also a mean guitar and mandobass
player. Her superb voice defies categorisation and has featured
everywhere from the BBC's Folk on 2 to Radio1 and Classic FM!
An
aural orgy of dazzling musicianship
