The Water Chorus/Third Revival at Acoustic Anarchy

Another great line up this weekend at Acoustic Anarchy, the regular night at waterintobeer in Brockley (209-211 Mantle Road, London SE4 2EW):

'The next acoustic anarchy on Saturday November 2nd, sees two of our favourite folk groups combine for what promises to be a special night. Third Revival take a mix of traditional songs and their own material and give it a dark edge, with vocals, guitar and fiddle.

The Water Chorus also work with traditional folk songs and have multiple instruments, giving the songs an energetic treatment with a lively dash of humour.

Each group will do a set and then combine to do a joint set, which we're really looking forward to. Regular host Martin Howard completes the bill. Starts at 7.30, music from 7.45. Suggested £5 donation entry, which all goes to the artists! No-one turned away for lack of funds'

I saw The Water Chorus there earlier in the year and think they are going to bigger places, so catch them while you can. Some great Scottish and other songs, including a version of Comin' thro' the Rye.

Update: this was great, Water Chorus' usual singer Caitlin Chalmers was away, with Ali Lawrenson and Jack Saville joined instead by Sophie Grenfell.  Nice to hear a few lines of (Scots) Gaelic, they did a version of the old fairy song 'Tha mi sgith' and also did a join set with Third Revival
