Folk Music Concert

Mayfield Heritage Group held an afternoon of Folk Music on Sunday 13 February at the Memorial Hall. We were entertained by Emma Palmer, who some of you may remember from our Thomas Moore Event in 2018.

She was accompanied by a group of talented musicians from the Ashbourne area. The music was traditional
and came from all around Britain especially the Shetland Islands.


Much of it was lively jigs and reels interspersed with beautiful slow airs. They rounded off the concert with a lovely tune from Derbyshire which was greatly appreciated by the audience.

We were also treated to some vocal renditions from Arnie Rainbow accompanied on Guitar by Phil Philo and Ian Macfarlane on percussion.
