| Thursday 22nd April | Bothy Thursday Special | Special Concert night with Bridget St John and Michael Chapman, Tickets and more details from Pete Rimmer 07973 623210 The Bothy Folk Club in Southport is hosting a very special night of music featuring Bridget St John and Michael Chapman. A true legend of the British folk scene, Bridget St John has one of those voices, distinctively deep and somewhat melancholic, that once heard is never forgotten. Michael is without doubt one of our finest and most emotive guitarists and this, coupled with the instantly recognisable voice and his refusal to take the easy, comfortable path, and has made him one of the most respected musicians around.
