AN EVENING of folk music taking place next week will be a poignant tribute to a much-loved musician.
Nettlebed Folk Club had been planning to welcome Paul Sartin with his bandmates in Faustus. But on September 14, he collapsed suddenly shortly before he was due to appear at an event in Oxford.
He was 51.
The band will make an appearance at the folk club on Monday, October 17, giving audiences an opportunity to remember the talented musician.
Joining Benji Kirkpatrick and Saul Rose will be Joe Sartin, Paul’s youngest son. The 19-year-old will be a support act before joining in a couple of songs at the end for an emotional finale.
The band say Joe is a superb singer and guitarist, and a competent performer, and has performed with them over the years.
A spokesperson for the folk club said: “He wishes to do this to honour his father, and we’re sure he will have plenty of support from family and friends.”
The Nettlebed Folk Club meets from 7.45pm at The Village Club, in Nettlebed’s High Street.
