Meet The Presenters...

Below is a small paragraph written by each of the Hermitage Folk Show presenters.

Semi-retired storyteller, past-published poet and half-hopeful harpist,
I'm the techie of the crew. I cue up the tracks, trim the sound and fiddle
with the faders. If I'm good they let me harp on about harps occasionally.

Terri Eynon

Frustrated DJ and folkie from my teenage years onwards, this is my first attempt at regular broadcasting. My taste in music? Well it all started with Fairport Convention...

Folk interested began with Simon and Garfunkel and took off with Fairports .This is my first attempt at sharing it with an audience larger than one. Radio hero - Johnny Walker

Pat Noon

In the late 1960’s folk music was in the mainstream and Radio 1 was playing artists such as Fairport Convention, Simon and Garfunkel & the Dubliner's - I was spell bound. Meet up with local folkies – and started going to Stevenage Folk Club. I was dragged to see Steeleye Spam at the local Mecca – stood and saw Maddy Prior's live performance of chart topping Gaudete – and the rest is history.....I cannot play, dance or sing and prefer to be called a Folk Music Consumer! But I am keen to see those who can perform - promoted. Thats my job now!
