Musicians Emma McEvoy and Dave Squirrel will take their string and folk skills to the Beach and Barnicott tomorrow for an evening of free entertainment.

Emma, known as one of the most exquisite and versatile violinists in the south west, has performed with Dave Squirrel for several years in various acoustic ensembles including Up and Running and The Yellow Room.

David has been playing stringed instruments since he was five when he started with the ukulele.

He discovered the mandolin family in his late teens and didn’t look back. He plays as part of several ensembles seeking out new combinations of instrument and exploring traditional folk music from a variety of cultures. He has created a unique sound with the melodeon and mandolin.

Playing throughout Dorset, Devon, Somerset and Hampshire, Dave and Emma perform original and traditional folk music from Europe and the British Isles and irresistibly toe-tapping jigs, reels, hornpipes and waltzes – the music of rural England, Scotland and Ireland.

Entry is free, with the music starting from 8.30pm. For dinner bookings phone 01308 455688.
