Well, here we were again. G strings a quivering instruments in hand and ready for some good music. We had a Lime Meadow virgin tonight, more of that later !
Read More...Pretty well a full house tonight ! Quality of music very high and a good eclectic mix. I began the evening,(the guest should never have to take the graveyard slot) with a self penned tune and a song. I squeezed out a short blues which was received with both aprehension and relief. You had to be there! Neil and slow hand entertained us with their usual alplomb. Electric Geoff was slinky, I always enjoy Nivram (Marvin) an old Shadows tune. Banjo Alex was at his best displaying his dogged competance and gave us a really good self penned tune. Jane was resting this week.

Slow hand Steve follwed with a few kick arse songs driven by his guitar. Neil joined Steve and gave us some excellent songs with fine harmonies. Pam was up next, a Lime Meadow virgin and an Antipodean to boot. She sang and played some lovely songs., with a self penned protest song about enviromental destruction going down very well. She was ably accompanied by Stephan on banjo and Vicky ,( of Vicky and Aiden fame) on percussion. Right! off goes Pam and Stephan and on comes Aiden to join Vicky who gave us some lovely traditional music with Aiden's mandolin plaing some fiery reels. Vicky sang the anti war song 'Willy McBride" beautifully. Very topical at the moment.

Read More...Another quality night despite holidays and the World Cup. Execellent musicians and an atttentive and respectful audience, It's very difficult for players to perform to a background chatter. Neil and Chris came on in various guises as solo and a duo and we had another welcome visit from father and daughter duo Keith and Sarah who treated us to some neat picking from Keith enhanced by the dulcet tones of Sarah. They gave us the old folk club favourite Streets of London among others.
