Event Details

Stonesthrow combines the strong lead vocals of Tony Fowkes with the natural harmonies of Steve & Julie Wigley. The Derby based trio perform mainly acapella, with their set spiced by the occasional song featuring Julie on accordion and Steve’s guitar.

Their choice of songs ranges from the traditional working songs of the sea and the land to contemporary songs of family, love and loss, providing a rich variety of material for their three part harmonies.

They have been winners and runners-up in the ‘Write a Song for Lincolnshirecompetition and have performed at the Chester Folk Festival Fringe, Moira Furnace Folk Festival and a number of folk clubs around the country.

Phillip Benson

Phil has been involved in folk since the 60s, albeit with a 20-year break from active involvement.  In the early 70s, he was part of an electric folk group, Alderley Edge, with Malc Gurnham and David Parr, performing all over the Midlands area. He also got together with David Parr in a more traditional folk trio with John Meechan, Coolin. When Nuneaton Arts Centre was being set up, Phil got involved, so it was no surprise that Coolin were the hosts of the folk club that opened there.
