A web page with the flyer is here. You can also get a copy of the flyer in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format for printing. You can get further information on Still on the Hill from their website.
Jim
Malcolm: Thursday, January 31, 2008. 8PM at the
Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse,
$18.50 adv/$19.50 door.
Not a house concert, but... This extraordinary award-winning Scottish singer & songwriter has performed many concerts at the Freight as part of Old Blind Dogs and many (always sold-out) solo concerts at my house. This will be his solo debut at the Freight & Salvage!
Listen to some songs (mp3 format):
Sir Patrick Spens Battle of Waterloo Blindness of My Youth

Tony
McManus & Maeve Donnelly:
Thursday, February 14, 2008. 8PM at the
Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse,
$18.50 adv/$19.50 door.
Not a house concert, but... I've had the good fortune to host many house concerts for Tony over the years, including his first-ever solo concert in the US! Tony's performed at a number of Freight and Freight-sponsored concerts as well, most notably with Alasdair Fraser when they released a duo album. Tony is simply Scotland's most awesome guitarist! One of the strengths of Tony's playing is that he doesn't simply play guitar music. He performs a wonderful Scottish guitar adaptation of Celtic tunes from around the world written for all sorts of instruments. It's great to see Tony once again at the Freight & Salvage!
I’ve also heard great things about Irish fiddler Maeve Donnelly, but personally haven’t heard her before.
Listen to some tunes from Tony (mp3 format):
Lady Ann Montgomery's Reel/Eilish Brogan/Paddy Fahey's Shalom Aleichem
A copy of the flyer in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format is here. You can get further information on Tony McManus from his website and Maeve Donnelly from her website.
Martyn
Joseph: Monday, February 18, 2008. 8PM at the
Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse,
$18.50 adv/$19.50 door.
Not a house concert, but a concert by one of my all-time favorite performers who rarely comes to the US. Welsh singer/songwriter Martyn Joseph's a truly incredible performer who should be filling venues 10 times this big... Don't miss this performance at the Freight and Salvage!
Listen to some songs (mp3 format):
Cardiff Bay I Would Never Do Anything in This World Arizona Dreams The Great American Novel
A web page with the flyer is here. You can also get a copy of the flyer in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format for printing. You can get further information on Martyn Joseph from his website. In addition to his Berkeley concert, Martyn will be performing at a house concert in Santa Rosa on Saturday, February 16th.
Sara
Grey & Kieron Means: Sunday, October 19, 2008. 7:30PM, Donation TBD.
First Berkeley House concert for this wonderful mother & son vocal/guitar/banjo duo who spotlight the best of Scottish and American roots music. I've had the fortunate opportunity to see them perform several times together and individually at the Sidmouth International Festival in England, but I'm sure that it'll be even more amazing to hear them in the intimacy of a house concert!
Listen to some songs (mp3 format):
I Worry For This World Shady Grove
You can get further information on Sara and Kieron from their website.
All proceeds go to the performer(s). Reservations required.
For further information, reservations & directions:
or call 510-644-2135.
Advance payment is optional; however, people paying at the concert must choose from any seats remaining at that time, and popular concerts tend to have very few seats remaining. Reservations are required whether or not advance payment is made. For information on paying in advance, please send an e-mail to reservations@sgreenberg.org. If you've already made a reservation and would like to prepay via the Internet, please see http://www.sgreenberg.org/concert_tickets.htm .
House concert seating is strictly limited to 42 at each concert. You can e-mail me now with reservations for any of the house concerts on this web site.
When you make a reservation, please provide your address in addition to your name, e-mail address, and phone number; I'll be snail-mailing out maps to folks who haven't been to the house before. The house is near Tilden Park, and parking is plentiful. Also, it's accessible by the #65 bus from the Berkeley BART station.
