6 May Jim Bainbridge  
Jim has been on the traditional music scene since his days as leader of Marsden Rattlers, of South Shields, one of the first dance bands to come out of the folk revival.  His style is modelled on the older Irish and Scots tradition, but with much material, ancient and modern from his Tyneside roots. New  material is by no means excluded,  the tradition continues and changes and Jim moves with it.
