Artist: Robin Garside
…is a resident of what has become ‘Folk City,’ (better known as Sheffield) and is a musician of virtuosic dexterity and an entertainer in the Folk tradition. He plays guitar, fiddle, banjo and mandolin and sings Traditional Folk Songs, Sea Shanties, a few of his own songs, plays fiddle tunes and knocks out Blues and Jazz whenever the opportunity presents itself. He also enjoys a bit of ‘craic’ with audiences. At Whitby, Robin has been the leader and Musical Arranger of the Festival Orchestra for many years, (recently with Carol Dawson) and he also performs at concerts and leads sessions and workshops. Robin has performed at many of the Festivals in the UK and has toured in Europe with several different groups.
