THIS Sunday afternoon, in Crediton Library, there is a one-time-only chance to enjoy a concert with Newfoundland folk singer and songwriter Jim Payne, alongside Marilyn Tucker and Paul Wilson from Wren Music in Okehampton.

Expect hearty choruses, stomping tunes, poignant ballads and a whole lot of history - and probably some display dancing!

Instruments will include four-stop melodeon, guitars, accordions and tambourine.

Wren Music said: "It’s so exciting to welcome back to Devon the folk singer, songwriter and musician Jim Payne direct from Newfoundland for our series of ‘Shore to Shore’ folk concerts, finishing in Crediton on Sunday, November 9.

“As well as being one of the province’s most prolific songwriters, Jim is also a leading performer, collector and producer of traditional Newfoundland music.

“The Teignmouth concert sold out and the events in Appledore and Barnstaple were good and lively.

“The concert in Crediton is the last chance to hear the full concert programme. Thank you to The Devonshire Association and National Lottery Heritage Fund for supporting the tour."

Jim is best known for performing and recording many of the traditional sea shanties of Newfoundland culture. He also composed the song "Wave Over Wave" with Janis Spence and founded the record label SingSong Inc.

He plays guitar, diatonic accordion, mandolin, tin whistle, and violin, and is a singer, storyteller, actor, writer, stepdancer, and teacher of traditional Newfoundland set and square dances.

Tickets are £10 from the Library in Belle Parade or on EventBrite via: bit.ly/flaevents

You may also be able to buy a ticket at the door, providing the event is not sold out, or book by telephoning the library.

Doors open at 2pm for the 2.30pm start and it will run until 4.30pm.

Proceeds will support two charities, Wren Music and The Folklore Library and Archive.
