UTTERLY compelling performer Carolyn Hester will appear in The Forge at The Anvil this month.
Carolyn began her career in New York City as one of the young singers who rode the crest of the 1960s folk wave to international recognition.
She was instrumental in giving the young Bob Dylan one of his early breaks, hiring him to appear on her first album for Columbia.
She has worked with Buddy Holly and John Hammond, and remained at the forefront of the American folk scene ever since, continuing to champion new talent, notably Nanci Griffith.
Carolyn is a dynamic singer with a repertoire of south-western-flavoured originals and long-standing favourites.
She has completed sev-eral tours of the United States, and among her UK credits are two Edinburgh Folk Festivals and many tours and festivals.
She appears on Saturday, June 26, at 8pm.
Tickets, priced £10, are available from the box office on 01256 844244, the website www.theanvil.org.uk or the ticket fax 01256 366900.
