OUR NEXT FOLK EVENING IS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 4
when our joint main guests will be
MAGGIE & STAN
Maggie & Stan are a Suffolk based folk duo, who sing songs with strong melodies and choruses. They also play traditional tunes with loads of bounce and lift. All this plus a healthy dose of humour. The last time they came to Hadleigh, they went down a storm.
Below is a song some of you may remember. There is more on their WEBSITE.
