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.

King's Head, Wildgoose, Amberley, Ashurst and Riga

Busy, busy. Loads to see, hear and do!
I went back to the Gosport club on Monday 8th October and sang Sheepcrook and Blackdog; Sovay, Sovay; Ship in Distress and the Blacksmith. Good practice for tomorrow.
Back to Wildgoose for the second half of the recording. Much better attitude from me this time and it showed in the end results. Managed to lay down four more tracks, so will end up with a seven track recording and I hope it'll be good.
We sorted: Lord Gregory; Bay of Biscay; Sheepcrook and Blackdog and Diego's Bold Shore and I was happy with all of them. What a difference a fortnight makes (it used to be "what a difference a day makes", but not any more!)
No Four Chesnuts this week 'cos Claire and I headed to Amberley to see Last Night's Fun and wow what a great night. They really know how to entertain a crowd and what a crowd there was. Best night I've had for ages and even managed one song, so chose Lord Gregory as a request. I was quite nervous, don't really know why, but there you go!
Being the 2nd Wednesday of the month, I went to Ashurst for a chorus and harmony evening. Another good night, which is just as well 'cos it's a long way from home! I sang Follow the Heron and Where are you Tonight I Wonder. I must learn some chorus songs, but these ones went down well, so that was fine.
I spent the weekend with friends in Riga, Latvia and we went sightseeing, ate, drank and sang our way around. A thoroughly good time was had by all!! even the poor punters who had to listen to us.
