Duo to perform at folk club

The October Troubadour Folk Club concert will feature the Cap in Hand duo at the Woy Woy CWA Hall from 7pm on Saturday, October 19.

Cap in Hand is a folk duo comprising Nigel Walters from the Wheeze and Suck band and Dave Spira.

Dave plays finger-style acoustic guitar in a range of open tunings while Nigel sings, plays finger-style guitar, mandolin and cello mandolin.

The pair have played music together for several years, appearing at a number of folk festivals and are regular performers at Hornsby Folk Club.

With influences including Nic Jones, Martin Simpson, Simon Fox and Bill Mize, their music ranges from traditional to contemporary.

In addition, they both write many of the songs and tunes that they perform.

Their newly-released first album, Harlequin, highlights Dave's guitar playing and song writing skills as well as Nigel's vocals and musical accompaniment on guitar and cello mandolin.

The album has a mix of traditional and contemporary songs and tunes, including four tracks written by Dave and Nigel.
