Performer: Steve Ceary keeps English traditions alive

摘要

"I was completely tongue-tied," says Steve Cleary, P.Eng., recalling his introduction to the Open Mike English folk music club at Brunei University in London, England. Cleary studied mechanical engineering at Brunei during London's Swinging Sixties. Bands such as Pentangle and Steeleye Span topped the music charts and traditional songs were enjoying a popular resurgence.rnFour decades later, it is hard to believe Cleary's reticence to sing. With like-minded friends, he has transplanted English music and dancing traditions to Vancouver and sustained them with a distinctly West Coast edge.
