He has also narrated a series of guided walk CDs for <I>The Dog Rose Trust.  </I>Amongst many enjoyabl shows, his highlight so far was to be asked by Fairport's Dave Pegg to MC Dave's 60th Birthday Bash at Birmingham Town Hall and playing the opening number with Dave as a hurdy gurdy and bass duet.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Joolz Webb ~  medieval clarinet, recorder</B></div> <div> <B>whistles, </B><B>shawm, trumpet, </B><B>percussion & vocals</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B><IMG SRC="45a99e00.jpg" border=0 width="153" height="224" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="46da8e00.jpg" border=0 width="168" height="224" ALT="joolz webb" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="45d88e00.jpg" border=0 width="136" height="224" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="2"></B></FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="41eace40.jpg" border=0 width="172" height="228" ALT="Chris Neen" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="46ba8e30.jpg" border=0 width="168" height="227" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="3" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>Chris Neen ~ mandola, guitar, </B><B>rope-tensioned drums,</B><B> & vocals</B></div> <div> Chris is a rhythmic powerhouse in any band that he plays for although he has a gentle touch too when needed. Playing guitar since his early teens and a veteran of many festivals of all types, he was one of the founding members of the well-known ceilidh band This Way Up, in which he played electric guitar.  Joining forces with Paul Saunders in the 1990's, he took up Medieval and Renaissance drumming for which he has a natural affinity.  His background in traditional dance music has been a significant part in developing his driving rhythmic approach to both the medieval drum and the mandola, both of which he uses to great effect in The New St George Waits band and in the duo wynndebagge and skynntite.  </div> <bR> <div> Chris has a natural stage presence.  In 2007 he was a musician for the Peter Cann production <I>Play The Man</I> in Shrewsbury Castle and was spotted by the writer and director, who asked him to play an acting part as well.  He also dances with Shropshire Bedlams, a wild Border Morris team based in Bishop's Castle...and he rides a Harley Davidson.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Eric Hej ~ medieval drums, darabuka, djembe, </B></div> <div> <B>percussion, medieval trumpet (!) vocals</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> </B><IMG SRC="46398e30.jpg" border=0 width="152" height="227" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="46c9ee30.jpg" border=0 width="158" height="227" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="46fb7e50.png" border=0 width="183" height="229" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=165 BGCOLOR="#006699" TEXT="#080000"> <div>  </div> <div> " A people's entertainer...  the best I've seen."</div> <div> <I>John Sessions</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>"</I> His hurdy gurdy rocks"</div> <div> <I>Dave Pegg,</I></div> <div> <I>Fairport Convention</I></div> <bR> <div> "Impressive"</div> <div> <I>BBC Radio 4</I></div> <bR> <div> " Thanks for being there -  your music  added so much to the day at Mottey Meadows"</div> <div> <I>Tim Coleshaw,</I></div> <div> <I>Natural England </I></div> <bR> <div> "Wonderful music, spell-binding humour... the most talented medieval perfomer in the country"</div> <div> <I>Don Holton, Heuristics</I></div> <bR> <div> "What a great night ... we were still aching from laughing the following day."</div> <div> <I>AONB National Conference</I></div> <bR> <div> website by </div> <div> Paul Saunders</div> <div> updated</div> <div> April 2013</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
