renowned trio Coope, Boyes and Simpson performing their show in remembrance of the fallen in the First World War, In Flanders Field. The trio first came together in 1990. Since then they have garnered a terrific following leading to two nominations for Best Band and Best Album in the BBC Folk Awards. In Flanders Fields takes its name from the poem written by John McCrae who was killed near Yprès in the First War. The pro- duction is a tribute to lives caught up in the War to end all Wars and brings together the poetry of the era, the biting humour of the sol- diers on the Western Front and the music of the time. Peter Johnson says “when Jona- than and I first came up with the idea of promoting some concerts in Dartmouth and formed Dart Gig Promotion, as fans of folk mu- sic, we decided we to start by seeing if we could bring in some top class folk musicians. I am delighted we have some of the best in the UK to start what I hope will be a very successful series”. Tickets are on sale through the
Flavel box office for Martin Simp- son and Richard Digance with a price of £16 and £5 for under-18.
