Floorspots welcome


Nick Dow has been singing traditional Folk Songs for over Forty years. He has had a big influence on the Folk scene and most recently award winning English Folk Musician Jim Moray has quoted Nick as an influence singing two songs from his repertoire and including one {Seven Long Years} on his latest album ?Skulk?


Nick is an acknowledged expert on West Country Folk Songs and together with his wife Mally ,has collected over 300 songs in Dorset, and also found singers in Lancashire and Essex


He has also made recordings of Gypsy Singers some of which have been included on Topic Records series ?The Voice of the People?


Nick Dow has returned to the Folk Scene after a long absence. He spent several years building up his business of Signwriting and building and restoring Gypsy Wagons.


Nick has lived an amazing life. He has lived on his wits since he left his parents home in East Dulwich at eighteen; travelling half way round the world, living on the road with the Travelling Folk and learning their songs, working as a TV and Film Extra, broadcaster, Narrowboat painter, writer, Folklorist, Guitar Teacher and General Dealer.


Every song Nick sings has a story attached to it, and his gigs are as informative as they are entertaining.


Nick and Mally now live happily in East Lancashire surrounded by Moorland and Fells.

Yo KK how're you? - No idea how many people will come along to this - we don't sell advance tickets for the Old Nun's Head gigs - however he was once local, and has said a few of his old friends may well come down, so my advice would be to come along early if you can, ( I don't want that to put you off, if you can only come along later though) ). have you brought the dog before? I can't remember - maybe check with the pub if it's ok - also check with Sue, it's ok with me if you want to bring the dog, but like I say, you might want to check first. :)

    • This should be number one consideration - how it affects nature

    • Weird, trolling, off topic comment.
    • Thanks for brining this up, it is ALWAYS worth bringing up. This is our neighbourhood afterall - if we can't care about our own environs then what else should we be concerned about?  Some war far away where regular people like us won't make a jot of difference but which still attracts tons of cops to police weekly while local kids get beat up?  It takes a cool analytical big-picture head to think just how messed up this situation is.  Too much on the 90% of our lives we cannot control, too little on the 10% we can. I applaud the OP for raising this. With things like stolen bikes, broken-into parked cars, intimidated children it's worth making a report b/c more of more services are driven by stats/KPIs.  Eventually, the numbers amass.  I don't care who is stretched. Tell me someone who would say they're NOT stretched - the point is we all pay tons of tax and are deserve appropriate level of services. Would tea with a cop help? I dunno, think this needs something a bit more decisive than that.  I know there are supplementary parental patrols - worth helping them to assign their resources better by making them aware of recent trouble-spots.  Realise this was out of term-time but worth raising nonetheless.
