OKEHAMPTON Acoustic Club will hold its final meeting of the year this weekend, promising another evening of quality live music.

This month the club welcomes harpist Fionnuala Kirby, the Boys from Melbourne Street, and John Middleton. Club founders Phil Bird and Anna Georghiou, members of the band Troubadour's Garden, will also play a set, and there will be a performance from magician Duncan Norris.

Fionnuala Kirby is a virtuoso Celtic harpist, who will present a set of British, Irish and Paraguayan tunes.

She has played all over Europe and now lives with her family near Plymouth.

The Boys from Melbourne Street are a seasoned trio from Bradninch whose original songs explore a fusion of folk, pop, jazz and rock with a laid back style.

John Middleton, who runs the Roadwater Music Club, will be singing songs from his CD Pieces of Silver, with his mellow vocals a staple at music clubs across the region.

As a special Christmas treat, the club will raffle a magnum of champagne.

The club was set up earlier this year, holding its first music night in February.

They meet on the second Saturday of each month, promoting acoustic music and musicians living in the area.

The acoustic club will meet at the Ockment Centre this Saturday, December 8 with doors open at 7.30pm.

Entry costs £2.50, and guests can bring their own refreshments.
