Banter are Nina Zella, Simon Care, Tim Walker and Mark Jolley. Four fine musicians whose roots are firmly in the traditional English genre, but who enjoy stretching the limits – in what a lot of people refer to as 'the quirky Banter twist'. Formed in 2015, due to a happy accident, they immediately realised their common love for traditional English song and dance and began to mess around with it. They gained popularity, or should it be notoriety, very quickly and were soon performing at many of the country's largest festivals, including Glastonbury, Cambridge FF, Sidmouth FF and Towersey. Described as 'the world’s smallest big band', Banter go from strength to strength. To open the evening we will have a set from David Collins, a London based singer/songwriter who follows in the great tradition of, and is inspired by, the recent English folk revival. His intricate and melodic guitar playing complements his rich singing voice, whether performing traditional material, original songs or works by other writers whom he admires. Since appearing at the BBC Young Folk awards in 2011, David has performed at various festivals and folk venues around the country but, for personal reasons, he took a break from live appearances for a time. He is now returning to performing and is keen to bring his music and storytelling to audiences that appreciate the nuance and subtlety of his work.
Doors open at 19:00, music starts at 19:30. Tickets cost £14 if booked online https://www.tickettailor.com/events/elyfolkclub/1334832, or £15 on the door.
