John Fegan: A few memorable lines from a Guy Clark song, one of John's favourite influences, best sum up his amazing musical journey... 'There ain't no money in poetry, that's what sets the poet free and I've had all the freedom I can stand.' His music is a labour of love that has taken him across Europe, Scandinavia, Ireland and England for performances in some of the world's most prestigious music festivals including the Montreux Jazz Festival and The Bardentreffen in Nuremberg Germany to an audience of 20,000. And now he's coming to Foco Nuevo! [website]

partnership of Lachlan Hurse and Sue Monk, will be playing their
energetic folk, tinged with Cuban flavours. They will be
accompanied by Robbie Stewart (lead guitar) Ross Gwyther (tenor
sax and clarinet) Dan Simpson (drums) and James Harper
(percussion) along with special guest Leonor Orellana. Their
songs extend the folk tradition, and give new insights into the
breadth of contemporary life. [website] |
