Blackheath Folk at the Ivanhoe on Thursday, November 4, will feature folk singer/guitarist Allan Murray and his son ukulele maestro Cameron Murray.
Cameron Murray has been playing ukulele and uke-banjo for more than half his life, his granddad teaching him ukulele when he was too small for a guitar. He started playing in folk clubs with his father as a youngster.
A proponent of the George Formby strumming style, Cameron enjoys performing classic tunes from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as Hawaiian hits and originals. Cameron is also a keen collector of vintage instruments and the publisher and editor of international ukulele magazine Kamuke (kamuke.com).
Allan Murray has been involved in folk music since his 20s, Glasgow Folk Club being a popular venue at that time, and is a regular performer at Blackheath Folk. Allan draws a lot of inspiration from traditional Scottish folk music and American bluegrass.
Folk music at the Ivanhoe on Thursday, November 4, will start at 7.30pm. Entry is free and floor performers are welcome. Inquiries to Christine Davies 4787 7246.
