Review - Green Matthews
28/02/25

Thanks to Green Matthews for a superb performance at the Everyman on Friday evening. Chris and Sophie delivered a wealth of songs and tunes from their extensive traditional repertoire, as well as songs by Chris, and words by poets including Cicely Fox Smith set to their own tunes. One highlight was the poignant poem by May Wedderburn Cannan – Lamplight – beautifully sung by Sophie to a heartrending tune by Chris. We also enjoyed a couple of numbers from their recent musical adaptation of Wind in the Willows, with their new lyrics to traditional tunes taking us to the river bank and on a drive with Mr Toad! Their engaging introductions were enlightening about the pieces and informative about the multitude of instruments they were playing – a wonderful evening!
Huge thanks to all our floor performers for their songs and stories - Jeremy Fox, Graham Schofield, Penny MacKay, Robin Pooley, Terence Blacker, and the night’s marvellous MC – Charlie Haylock.
Thanks too to our magnificent audience for your support and your singing. See you next time, when Mat Green & Andy Turner are our guests on Friday 28 March 2025.
