Preparing for 2010 tour
Described by Billy Connolly as ʻBritain's best singer/ songwriterʼ, Ralph McTell is one of the UK's most
consummate entertainers. He has won The Ivor Novello Award and a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award for his
songwriting. You, the audience, will travel with Ralph on a ninety-minute journey along the musical path he has followed for over four decades. Ralph's astute observation and wry take on life shine through his songs and anecdotes. His rich baritone voice and his virtuosity on guitar promise a very special
evening. "A big man with a big heart and a big, big talent." Willy Russell "McTell hits the spot by telling your personal story: yours and everyone's." The Guardian

Bournemouth Folk Club
is held at Centre Stage in Westbourne close to Bournemouth. The club runs twice a week (Thursdays and Wednesdays) throughout the year. The club promotes gigs with the top folk musicians from across UK and from USA and provides a strong listening environment of the best local musicians.

Gigs are now running twice weekly but the odd cancellation because of festivals.
Always check the 'whatson' on the wbsite before setting off!
