Watford Folk Club is pleased to welcome Elizabeth & Jameson on April 5 at  8:00 pm – 11:00 pm.

Elizabeth & Jameson is a stunning new collaboration comprising two rising stars of the UK acoustic music scene. Hannah Elizabeth of traditional folk trio Said The Maiden and Griff Jameson from folk-rock band Fred’s House have joined forces to create an indie-folk sound which encompasses their individual musical backgrounds.

Playing all over the UK with Said the Maiden, Hannah’s influences are very much planted within traditional folk roots. This is in stark contrast to Griff’s recent musical history, having penned a string of quirky rock/pop anthems for Fred’s House.

Together, Elizabeth & Jameson arguably offers the best of both backgrounds; this is simplistic, classic song writing at its best – a stripped back, harmony-driven sound with guitar, violin and exquisite vocals.

Please find attached a poster for BFDC Spring Dance.  Please note that we now have a new venue address for our dance which is to be held at St Andrew’s Church, Kimbolton Road, Bedford MK40 2PF.  This poster supersedes any previous one you might have received for this dance which contained our old address.  The event is approaching fast and the club would be grateful if you could bring the dance to the notice of your club members and friends who may wish to attend and would be most welcome.
With kind regards,
Ron Law
