Folk Bands and Artists
Notts Alliance
Nottingham
Notts Alliance’s repertoire is a well chosen, eclectic mix of the old and new, with both well-known traditional material and interesting arrangements of songs from writers such as Richard Thompson, Michael Marra and Sydney Carter. Sometimes subtle and moving, often humorous and with various full-blown, rousing chorus songs, their performances are honest, never dull and always enjoyable. They have their roots in the Nottingham Traditional Musical Club of the 1970s and ’80s, where they were the club residents in the ’80s. The current line up is Stephen Bailey, Phil Hardcastle, and Chris Orme. Their well-crafted, tight and inventive harmony singing, excellent delivery and ability to engage with the audience have earned them a position of high respect on the UK club and festival circuits.
