Review - Mat Green & Andy Turner
28/03/25

An abundance of traditional music from Mat Green & Andy Turner at the Everyman Folk Club on Friday night, performed with energy and verve by these two tremendous musicians. Mat’s unique and vivacious fiddle style was matched brilliantly by Andy’s punchy Anglo concertinas and one-row melodeons – the perfect combination for their assortment of English rhythmic dance tune medleys that included jigs, barn dances, quick steps, and polkas. The evening included an interesting selection of well-researched songs, with some gorgeously smooth playing to accompany Andy’s fine voice. A wondrous performance, enhanced by the natural charm of this personable duo.

Very well done to all the evening’s floor performers: Dave Tricker, Paul Gill, Bill Johnston & Sheila Darling, Shirley Harry (the evening’s terrific MC), Matthew Robertson, and Colin & Karen Cater – thank you all for your songs and tunes.

Thanks as well to everyone in our fabulous audience, for your excellent singing and for making our guests and visitors so welcome. We look forward to seeing you next month, when Nancy Kerr & James Fagan join us on Friday 25 April 2025.
