TOM CHESTER
Tom plays is from Sheffield and plays with the band Southbound and also pays solo. He is ideal to start the evening off with some songs and to introduce the following bands

CAIM TRIO
Heather Innes, Jacynth Hamill & Pauline Vallance, the three members of Caim harmony trio, may be separated by the Irish Sea but they are not divided musically. Pauline?s roots in Scotland, Jacynth?s in Northern Ireland and Heather?s in Zimbabwe, Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Australia all contribute to Caim?s strong and varied traditional repertoire.
Also feeding into the mix is the life experience and wider musical experience of each of the women.
Heather?s vibrant a cappella singing which served her well in her early days on the folk-club circuit, continues to provide a strong foundation in the group, as does her time as a key vocalist and bodhrán player in the bands ?Dúlamán? and ?Firefrost?. Now and again she ventures into song-writing ? when a place or event speaks strongly to her. One of those songs is the evocative ?Rannoch?.
Jacynth has a solid choral background which she puts to good use in arranging material for the group. Her pure and light voice adds an ethereal quality to the 3-part harmonies as well as suiting the plaintive solo songs she adds to the mix. She is skilled at engaging others in singing ? whether audiences or small groups. This also applies to dancing!
Heather and Jacynth sang as an a cappella duo for 16 years, made 9 albums and toured in UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Australia and Thailand. In 2015 Pauline joined the group ? converting it to a harmony trio with harp and flute.
Pauline?s classical as well as folk background, her instrumental skills, some honed by orchestral playing, and her lyrical voice have enriched Caim?s sound and repertoire. She is a talented songwriter, turning events she has experienced, items she has read about, or a notion that has taken her fancy into a moving, a poignant
or a hilarious song. Pauline also has the ability to engage folk in song interpretation or writing workshops.

SCUPPERED
Scuppered have been together since 2003 with their roots in Folk and Acoustic music long established over many years running Folk Clubs and promoting and appearing in hundreds of concerts at their home base, Coal Aston Village Hall
