Anthony John Clarke visits Ulverston

Don't miss it!



Anthony John Clarke £7.00

There are very few places in the UK and Ireland that Anthony John has not played, his supporters are loyal and many and the tributes he receives from his peers bear witness to the talent and hard work of one of the folk scene's nicest guys. With several albums of songs to his name he retains his reputation as one of the top songwriters on the scene. His hard work and dedication to his craft are a credit to him.

In the words of the man himself:-

"People don't leave the house to be bored to death. You have a responsibility to entertain and avoid being self-indulgent. I avoid being professionally Irish as much as I can. I'm from Ireland and I love Ireland but that doesn't mean I have to go on about Ireland all night. Just because I'm an Irish songwriter doesn't mean I can't love the Kinks and the Small Faces, Wes Montgomery, Coldplay, The Dixie Chicks, Christy Moore or Frances Black. I like the songs of George Formby . They were my first delight musically and I liked listening to them with my children as they were growing up" Anthony John speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside 2005

If you've not seen an Anthony John Clarke Concert, give it try! If you've not heard his music, you have a treat in store. He is no ordinary songwriter, and the warm feeling that you experience when leaving one of his shows will stay with you forever.

At the Sports Club next to Ulverston Swimming pool and Sport's Centre. Doors open as usual at 7.45pm. Tickets available on-line www.slmp.btinternet.co.uk/ by telephone 07743 555227, or on the door.

Performance very good.

Friendliness of the people there disappointing - spoilt by one large bunch of regulars who seem to be oblivious of others already seated.

Much prefer the friendliness of the Jazz venue at the Whitewater at Haverthwaite though haven't been recently - no doubt set back by the flooding.
