Perth Folk and Roots Club is back at the Inglewood Bowling and Sports Club on Sunday 26th September 2021 with the support of the Inglewood Bowling and Sports Club and City of Stirling with a special show for sponsors Masonic Care. The performances are from 5pm to 8pm at the Inglewood Bowling and Sports Club, 1 Stancliffe Street, Mount Lawley. For this event, Perth Folk and Roots Club has Silva Dee and The Strays.

‘Perth Folk and Roots Club thanks Masonic Care for their support and welcomes back Silva Dee and The Strays to perform at Perth Folk and Roots Club‘, said Keith Anthonisz, President of the Perth Folk and Roots Club.

Silva Dee has been performing solo and in many bands nationally and internationally including the Freo Grasshoppers from 2007. The band has been on ABC TV state line program in 2010 after the release of their first album – “I Guess I’m lucky” and sold over a thousand copies. The second album “Taking You Home Tonight” released in 2010 had an enormous response and positive feedback and the last track on the album “Burning away” on global warming gained attention in the USA. The title track “I Guess I’m Lucky” was picked up by Trinity Productions in the USA to be used in “Signs of Our Times”, a documentary film. The band has performed in WA locally and along the coast, north and south including various mine sites and inland country towns. Silva Dee and the Freo Grasshoppers recently released a new album "Hangin in There" with Jean Guy on Harmonica. Their musical influences and selection is wide and varied covering songs from early blues; reggae, Oscar ‘Buddy’ Woods, Jimmy Rogers, Tampa Red, Brownie McGee, to more recent artists such as JJ Cale, Leo Kottke, Ian Tyson, Robert Plant and Alison Kraus.

The Strays formed in 2012 and came together with the current lineup in late 2014. They are a group of seasoned musicians with diverse musical histories and influences. The Strays’ songs are all original and composed by the band collectively; from acoustic guitar and folk melodies through to electric guitar reggae and rock. The Strays originals get their followers singing and dancing in the finest tradition of catchy pop songs. The Strays are singer, song writer and rhythm guitarist Martin Gregory; percussionist Allan Wilkerson; keyboards and vocalist Leonie Squire; lead guitarist Fred Wehr; and bass guitarist Andrew Heard. The Strays have an all-electric rock band and for Perth Folk and Roots Club they are offering a performance emphasizing their acoustic sounds.

‘As always we are also looking for up and coming artists to do a few numbers for the audience’, Keith added.
