Hadleigh Folk and Acoustic Music Nights, Hadleigh 8th July 2022 With Rob feeling unwell on the morning of our long-awaited return to Hadleigh Folk and Acoustic Nights, it was clear that there would not be time for the club to make any alternative arrangements.  As such, I would need to do this 45 minute set solo.  So, I called organiser Simon Haines, explained the situation and began busying myself rearranging the planned set list.Read More

Croydon Folk Club, Ruskin House, Croydon, 27th June 2022 I'll confess to a level of trepidation ahead of this gig at Croydon Folk Club. This had nothing at all to do with the club or the music and everything to do with rush-hour M25, navigating the fiendishly busy roads of Croydon and finding a decent parking spot to unload the gear for the gig.

Thankfully, beyond that, it was clear sailing. Read More

Readifolk, Watlington House, Reading, 19th June 2022 Readifolk has always been a great supporter of Na-Mara’s music and it was lovely to be returning to perform at the club once more. After two long days of driving at the end of the previous week, we'd both been able to rest up for a while and were raring to go again. At only an hour's drive away, it felt as though we were visiting near neighbours. We were certainly visiting good friends. Read More

Swindon Folk Club, The Hop Inn, Swindon, 17th June 2022 Refreshed from a great night's sleep in quiet and comfortable surroundings, we had a lovely breakfast chat with our host and Bideford Folk Club committee member, Alison, at her splendid B&B. Read More

Bideford Folk Club, The Joiners Arms, Bideford, 16th June 2022 We knew we were in for some glorious weather when we set off mid-morning for our long trip from St Albans down to north Devon to perform for our first ever time at the Bideford Folk Club. Read More
