30th March 2025
An evening of two halves featuring two wonderful women:
Frankie Cleeve first picked up a violin when her daughter started to learn and has been playing ever since, despite her family’s desperate attempts to stop her. She mainly plays English dance music (with anyone who will allow her to play with them) and writes a few tunes of her own as well. Frankie was organiser of this club for some years and is a resident at they Cellar Upstairs. She will be joined by Phil Seaman on the Melodeon – a long time collaborator and seasoned Morris musician.
Maddie Morris is an artist who strives to make a difference in the world. Bold, insightful and refreshingly unique, they take traditional song in new directions to shine a light on contemporary issues, offering new perspectives about the world we live in today.
After graduating with a first-class honours degree from Leeds Conservatoire, Maddie soon made waves by winning the 2019 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award, as well as landing a grant from the Alan Surtees Trust. From these firm foundations, their career has gone from strength to strength, with recent performances including Cropredy and Cambridge Folk Festival.

Admission £10 (£8 concessions). We hope that everyone who can will pay the standard price to support the musicians and the club. However, we want to be inclusive, so, if you can’t afford the standard price, do ask for a concession.
On the majority of club nights you will be able to pay on the door although we do put advance tickets on sale. On occasion demand will be very high and the evening may sell out in advance or there will be limited availability on the door. Please check the website regularly for the current position on specific evenings. For online tickets for this evening go to https://wegottickets.com/event/637137.
