forest folk

Well, that was a really enjoyable evening at the Forest Folk club, North Boarhunt. I went to see Faustus and certainly wasn't disappointed. They're a three piece made up of Saul Rose, Paul Sartin and Benji Kirkpatrick all well known in their own right, so I was interested to see how they would work together...and they did. A thoroughly entertaining evening all round.
I also did a floor spot which went down well. I was a bit apprehensive as it was my first visit to the club, but once on stage and singing with a mike ( most unusual for me) I felt quite at home. I belted out a couple of my current favourites: the Drowned Lover, a traditional song collected from the Westbourne Union back in 1909 by George Gardiner; and a night visiting song depicting the visit of a dead lover, The Grey Cockerel.
Met up with Anthony, who had been at the vocal harmony workshop I'd attended earlier in the month at the Lewes Arms (with Jon Boden) and Patrick who regularly visits the Four Chesnuts, also Eddie and Margaret, great followers of folk and the guys from Bishops Waltham club.
Thanks to Charles for organising a great night.
