DESPITE a year of pandemic-related curtailment on the Island s live music scene, local folk singers John Hacker and John Bentley have organised five online folk music events in the past 12 months. Three of these featured spots from a number of nationally well known professional singers – Eliza Carthy, Miranda Sykes and Vicky Swan and Jonny Dyer. In the course of these events more than £2,000 was raised to support Newport s Quay Arts. In order to keep the music going they have organised another online Quay Folk Club evening which will take place at 7.30pm on Sunday (February 28.) Featuring a range of local and mainland folk singers, the evening is being run as a fundraiser for the club itself.
