Chris and Andrea Wright
supported by
Mark Jervis and Mike Pullman.
Our acoustic nights involve a relaxed evening of food, drink and music from the best up and coming talent locally and from further afield- unplugged and in the intimacy of Hathersage Social Club.
Andrea and Chris Wright met at the Ffriddoedd Folk Club at Bangor University in the early 1980’s and since then have been performing the traditional music of Britain and Ireland on fiddle, guitar and vocals. Andrea, from Northern Ireland, and Chris, born in Sheffield, spent nine years in Newcastle upon Tyne and seven in Hong Kong, before settling in Hathersage in 2001. As they approach thirty years of performing together, the duo remain committed to interpreting the songs and tunes of the ordinary people of the British Isles.
Mark “Top Half” Jervis and Mike Pullman are also from Hathersage and are part of the much revered local covers band Running on Empty, the musical section of the famed running club the Fat Boys. This is their second unplugged venture although they have been practising a lot. They will perform a wide variety of their favourite songs ranging from Simon and Garfunkel to the Specials, many of which lend themselves to audience participation. Mark is a fully paid up member of the Bradfield Brewery supporters club.
Our fabulous House Charcuterie and Cheese Boards with warm sourdough bread and plenty of lovely relishes and pickles will be served during the interval
