She has done a few guest nights at Brewood Folk Club, and regularly does support for Pete Kelly at the Red Lion Folk Club. There will be some interesting Tipton stories and a lot of laughs, but most importantly, everyone will be able to talk Tip’n by the end of the noight. **plus** Pete Kelly was a professional musician. Now retired, (ha, ha) he still likes to keep his hand in. He’s actually been playing for over sixty years, and in that time has developed a truly polished style. He is a member of *Wild Irish,* and plays regularly in the Midlands and beyond. A member of “Team GB” athletics a few years ago, he can certainly take any hurdles in his stride.
