Ashley Hutchings,

Judy Dunlop and Jon Scaife

present Sway With Me a celebration of The Tree and its offspring in song and verse. A coup for WoodWorks! Ashley Hutchings is one of the “godfathers’ of folk – a founding member of Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and The Albion Band and currently touring with the Rainbow Chasers and the Morris On series of concerts. The  'Sway With Me' album was originally released in 1991 to critical acclaim; out of stock for some time it is due to be re-released shortly. Ashley Hutchings and Judy Dunlop have agreed to perform selections from the album specially for Woodworks – a unique opportunity to hear this great music and spoken word all about trees, live.

Cicero Buck

..a stronger leaning on the jazz-blues-folk colours...while their melodic sensibilities and awareness of what makes a perfectly crafted grown up pop song are, if anything, stronger than ever.

Kris moved to England from Nashville in the summer of 2000 and immediately Cicero Buck began working on songs. Delicate Shades of Grey, their first release, was recorded in London in the spring of 2002. Uncut magazine gave it a three star thumbs up.

Their second album, 'Humbucky', was released in the fall of 2004 and features their own material plus an acoustic version of Joe Hughes and David Freeman's smash 'No More I Love You's'.
