NInebarrow "Come January"

 

"It's April so let's kick off the set with "Come January"

 

After more than two C-19 years, last Saturday we finally enjoyed live music again in a venue rather than streamed live over the internet. It was a delight that Dorset's finest, Ninebarrow, played TheExchange at Sturminster Newton, a small but excellent hall with around 300 seats.

 

Friends for many years and then marriage partners, they first started playing music about a decade ago. In 2016 they gave up their full-time jobs to concentrate on Ninebarrow. Jay (on the left) was a G.P. and Jon a teacher. Since then they have become not just well-known in Dorset (with several songs based around the local area) but have also become one of the top 'new' folk-orientated acts throughout Britain. You can read much more about them, their music, their walking holiday and their woodland project here www.ninebarrow.co.uk/

 

This is what music should be all about. Compare and contrast to the Saturday night tv musical "talent" shows.
