Perth Folk and Roots Club with Up and Adam and Turning Left

Perth Folk and Roots Club is back at the Inglewood Bowling and Sports Club on Sunday 19th December 2021 with the support of the Inglewood Bowling and Sports Club and City of Stirling. 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 Up and Adam and Turning Left.

‘Perth Folk and Roots Club welcomes Delta blues and rockabilly inspired Derek Lee Goodreid and the Clarksville Five to perform at Perth Folk and Roots Club‘, said Keith Anthonisz, President of the Perth Folk and Roots Club.

Up and Adam is a local Western Australian Claw hammer banjo player, uniquely different in his playing style and presentation. Up and Adam’s style is influenced by old time, mountain style, traditional American folk and roots music. Up and Adam also has a big voice to go with his mountain style music. This emerging artist tells his story with original songs and obscure covers and promises to take you places that you may not expect a banjo to go. Up and Adam also has a collection of banjos including homemade rustic banjos that add to the atmosphere of connecting to a by gone time of mountain folk. Up and Adam live performances include playing at the Roleystone Musicians Club, FolkLore WA, Fremantle Gaslight Club and the Ravenswood Hotel Folk festival. FolkLore WA review of Up and Adam noted, “Armed with a collection of banjos, each one as unique and effective as the next, Up and Adam invokes sounds from a forgotten era that oozes heart, wisdom and soul. Joyfully delivering tales with sounds that erupt deep from the heart of the Appalachian mountains, whilst still sounding fresh and exciting.”

Turning Left is a blues trio of established Perth musicians including Gordon German on guitar and vocals, who is ex for a number of acts in Perth including Harrison, Company B, Coldfront, Fearless Men With Facial Hair and Woodstock Experience that captured the original musical spirit of the 1969 festival. Steve Prescott is on bass and he is ex Firebird and also Slim Jim and the Phatts, one of the most successful cover bands in Perth. David Knox is on drums and is ex Volcanics, a well known Perth rock and roll band that plays stripped down raw rock ‘n’ roll with no hype.

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