William Pint and Felicia Dale have boundless enthusiasm for creating music and sharing it with their audience. Critics have delighted in their recordings and crowds have listened, laughed, shed a tear and sung along with them wherever they have played.  With guitar, hurdy-gurdy, mandolin, violin, whistles, harmony, joy and pure energy Pint and Dale entertain and perhaps enlighten as well, giving listeners an insight into another age. There is humor and drama on a great scale.

     The hurdy-gurdy or vielle-à-roue (a rarely seen and heard musical instrument      dating from the 12th century) features a keyboard and a cranked wheel. It produces sounds similar to a bagpipe with drones, melody and rhythmic percussion. Traditionally used in French dance tunes, it is capable of a wide range of musical expression.

Nick Dow has been a professional musician since the mid seventies and has many LP's to his credit. His career began in South London where he was a regular at The Bird in Hand folk song club, in Forest Hill. Nick is an all round professional Folk Singer and Folklorist whom I have seen on several occasions, most recently at the Warwick Folk Festival in 2019 and again at Tenterden!  I have always thoroughly enjoyed what he does and the way he introduces and presents his songs.  Not only is he a great performer but he is also a great craftsman whose work building and repairing Gypsy Caravans is greatly admired.  As a consequence he is a fascinating man with whom to talk when time permits. Nick doesn't have a website so I have used the hyperlink on his name above the picture to link to him on the Folk and Honey website.  You can also find him singing "Through Bushes and Through Briars" on You Tube, you will find lots of other songs by Nick on there and also some of his Gypsy Caravan activities and an interview with him on Radio Lancashire about the caravan he refurbished as a present from Ronnie Wood's wife for her husband. Nick is no stranger to the club!
