ROD CORDNER
Appeared with Pete Seeger, Incredible String Band, Luka Bloom, Steeleye Span, Johnny Cash ....

Rod Cordner can be best described as having a strong northern voice, and a performance reminiscent of Christy Moore! His solo music is a blend of the contemporary, with a touch of traditional Irish, Celtic and Americana styles with creative lyrical songwriting.

He has been on the road for over 5 decades and over the years has released a total of 20 recordings on vinyl and CD, working in more than 20 countries.

“master songwriter”
"oozes maturity and quality"

CHRIS MILNER
Traditional Folk Singer/Songwriter
Been on the road for over 30 years
Toured in Ireland, Scandinavia, Germany, Turkey and Africa

“Consummate professional. Poetry set to music”
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home; and from the moment Chris Milner - Journeyman popped his hat and coat onto the stand on stage that’s exactly how it felt, being asked to bring some wine definitely helped! Experience counts and Chris never put a foot wrong as he strummed his two guitars and sang his lyrical, sometimes humorous songs on subjects including teenagers, romantic break up, vain successful singers and the deep comfort he has derived from his guitar.
