Kevin Burke has played fiddle in leading folk groups for more than 30 years but has never lost his love of playing solo.

Next month a Keighley audience can see what all the fuss has been about as this legend of traditional music performs at St Anne's Social Club.

Kevin (pictured) established himself as a first-class musician in the 1970s through working with Arlo Guthrie, Christy Moore and the Bothy Band.

But while group work gave him international acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, his album If The Cap Fits brought solo recognition.

He spent the early 1980s in the USA, recording songs that still influence artists, and formed the group Patrick Street.

The group has continued -- recording at least nine albums -- while Kevin has collaborated with other performers from various countries.

Kevin aims to give Keighley what he calls the "naked fiddle" in a style described as lyrical, impressive and emotionally electric.

Kevin plays on Monday July 7 at 8pm. Tickets cost £8 (concessions £6) from Offshoot Wholefoods, Cavendish Street, or by phoning 01535 661991.

nSongs of American rock legends The Eagles will be recreated in a tribute show at Glusburn Institute next month.

B'Eagles perform on July 26 (8pm) with "real quality and style". Tickets cost £8 from 01535 632261.

nJohnny and the Poorboys perform tomorrow at the Tut and Shive, Yeadon, and next Friday at the Snooty Fox, Oakworth.
