Description

John Kirkpatrick has been dancing, singing, and playing his way around the English folk scene since he joined Hammersmith Morris Men in 1959 at the age of twelve. Displaying a rare skill on a variety of push-pull squeezeboxes ? the melodeon, the button accordion, and the Anglo concertina ? he has been fully professional since 1970, not only with vast amounts of solo appearances, but also in all kinds of duos, trios, and bands including Steeleye Span, Richard Thompson?s band & more recently sharing singing duties with folk-rock band Home Service with John Tams. He is still an unrelentingly enthusiastic morris dancer, and started one of England?s most influential teams ? The Shropshire Bedlams. And he still finds time to play for dancing, currently in a band with all his four sons ? Kirkophany.

?Kirkpatrick?s buoyant presence and lust for this music sounds more rampant than ever? ? Colin Irwin (fRoots).

John will be Lawrence's last booked guest at the folk club.
