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.

where does the time go!

So it's over a week ago since I've blogged....what have I been up to?
Last night my friends from Essex, Bid and Skill and I went to the Four Chesnuts for a fantastic evening in the company of Jim Bainbridge. He's from the North east and supports Sunderland so that's two pluses!! He is a great melodeon player and singer with a warm personality and we came away with his c.d aswell.
The Oxjam concert on Saturday was an interesting evening which we all enjoyed. I sang Abroad as I was walking, Silver Dagger, He was under my window, Swallow Song and Farewell. I hope it helped the fundraising.
The singaround at the City Folk club on Friday evening was a low key affair as far as numbers were concerned, but the quality of the evening was great. Everyone seemed to be on song and we had some great renditions. I sang He was under my window, The Grey Cockerel and then was invited to join George in She Moves Thru' the Fair. I really enjoyed his sympathetic guitar playing....thank you George!
On Thursday Jeff Wesley was singing at the Royal Oak in Lewes and although there wasn't a full house, those of us who went enjoyed the evening. Jeff is a great entertainer and had some wonderful stories to tell and sing.
The Trio Threlfall were guests at The Famous Willows on Wednesday and I enjoyed their singing and playing. There are some lovely songs on their c.d which will certainly be added to my repertoire in the future.
The previous evening we had a themed singaround at the Chesnuts where we all found songs about or including the word "Gold"......my contribution was The Grey Cockerel and Diego's Bold Shore....both fantastic songs with the merest link to the word Gold......but a good fun evening.
So that's where the time has gone...and tonight was the night in for the hair wash and the footy...England v Belarus.....
