Thursday 18th December: Crumpsall Folk Club Xmas Special feat. Douglas and Moss
Rebecca Clare Douglas and Richard Moss are two musicians of high calibre performing with uncommon passion, grace and sensitivity.
The two musicians met performing with Mike Harding in his band the William Small Small Orchestra and found a musical kinship that has developed into something very special.

Clare is an accomplished violin player with a background in classical music combined with a love of traditional music, having performed with Scottish dance band The Pictish Players and the Giggleswick Temperance Band. She recently released The Fiddler from the Mountain of Fire, a collection of self penned tunes inspired by the landscape, history and folklore of the Ingleborough area.
Richard delivers amazingly intricate guitar work with a richly accented, warm singing voice. He is well known in the northern folk scene performing at clubs and festivals both solo and as part of Drop the Floor. His solo album, Back To The Yellow Hills, explores tradition from the Northwest of England and journeys through 19th century Blackburn poetry, with highly accomplished arrangements and self-penned instrumental tunes.
