Music Mondays: Bob Lucas

Bob Lucas is a glory shouting, sweet singing, banjo picking, guitar thumping, old-time fiddling, songwriting rounder with a desire to share a sense of musical wonder any way he can. Coming up during the great folk scare of the ’60s, he was fortunate to be taken under wing by some of the great traditional musicians and singers of the era. Join us for a not-to-miss evening of foot-stomping, heart-pounding, soul-deep music – guaranteed!

Music Mondays: Paul Creighton – Live from Scotland

Paul Creighton will join us live from bonnie Scotland, presenting an evening of Irish and Scottish sea shanties and folk songs. Recently gaining popularity across social media, shanties were usually sung without instrumental accompaniment and, historically speaking, they were only sung in work-based rather than entertainment-oriented contexts. Paul will bring these songs to life and have you join in the virtual fun! Email Lea Gilmore (lea@govanspres.org) for the link.
