Event information
Third visit to The Black Swan Folk Club for The Hunch, one of our favourite bands.
Now a five piece the band are fronted by Mick Doonan of the legendary 70s folk-rock band Hedgehog Pie. He comes from a famous Tyneside dynasty. John Doonan Snr, was an All-Ireland flute champion. Michael also fronts The Mighty Doonan’s folk-rock band. In The Hunch he provides vocals as well as flutes and pipes.
Bob Thomas was a member of another highly respected folk-rock outfit, Kitsyke Will, and has since lent his wonderful soul-inflected vocal style to The Solicitors, as well as singing, playing percussion and harmonica with The Hunch.
Alongside these two are the stunning acoustic guitarist/vocalist Chris Hanks and keyboards/accordionist/vocalist Tony Bacon, both alumni of West Yorkshire’s thriving roots scene. Marcus Frost is the latest addition to the line up; with extensive experience in the local blues/rock scene, Marcus brings his unique style of percussion and vocals.
This has all the hallmarks of another tremendous night with an eclectic mix of acoustic and folk music stylings.
