I have recently returned to the folk scene after many years and enjoy going to the local clubs and festivals. I am based in Chichester and can find myself singing in clubs along the south coast most nights of the week.I have made lots of friends through folk music and enjoy spending time with them.

Four Chesnuts

Tuesday evening is nearly always Chichester folk song club and last night we had a theme night of 'winners and losers'. Alan and Sheila m.c'd and took the theme to the extreme! We did have fun, drawing straws to sing, getting little gifts and finally performing from the turn of a card.
I sang the Bonnie Bunch of Roses O, dealing with Napoleon's quest to win over the British Isles and then at the last minute chose as a second song The Farmer's Boy, 'cos he was lucky in love and life.
But the finale topped the evening with Sheila dressing as Boadicea and leading us all in a rendition of Rule Britannia with much flag waving and then Alan, in his vest and moustache looking like Freddie Mercury, performing We are the Champions, again with banner waving etc. A real good fun night all round.
