Coventry folk musicians play the Warwick Arms Hotel

Coventry musician Julie Neale takes on three different roles this week as club guest, compère and support act.



The talented singer, fingerstyle guitarist and recording artist is part of an all-Coventry line-up at Monday’s Warwick Folk Club when she shares the billing with Rob Armstrong and Sheila Rigg.

Rob is internationally famous as a guitar maker and many leading names in the world of folk have owned and played his finely-crafted instruments with the distinctive letter A symbol on the headstock.

No mean player and singer himself, his repertoire covers Bob Dylan, lively country-blues and his own idiosyncratic songs, often delivered with a dry sense of humour and accompanied by Sheila’s accomplished double-bass playing and ripostes to Rob’s jokes.

The evening at the Warwick Arms Hotel is hosted by Norman Wheatley, a regular of the Coventry folk scene in the 1970s and presenter of Mercia Folk on Mercia Sound in the early 80s. Find out more from 01926 403228.
