30 Fine City Magazine 2011
Following their sell-out debut appearance at the Cromer FOP Festival Fringe in 2009 (a main stage appearance this year), the ‘Massif’ consists of the duo Fran McGillivray (vocals and bass) and Mike Burke (vocals, guitar and mandola), both respected stalwarts of the British blues and roots scene. They are joined by three guitarists from very different backgrounds: master clinician Pete Smith, one of the UK’s finest acoustic guitarists; Brooks Williams from Statesboro, Georgia, a respected fixture of the US roots music scene; and PJ Wright, whose electric slide playing is up there with Lowell George and David Lindley. Meanwhile, one of the UK’s leading dobro players, The Assembly House’s Mike King, will be guesting, holding workshops and appearing in the final evening concert. Workshop sessions will be held on a variety of topics, and attendees may be invited to join in the evening concert - so bring a guitar!
