5th December 2006 - King Harry pub, St. Albans

Played at the King Harry yesterday. Nice crowd involved in the sing along - a lot of local folk fans we hadn't met before which was great. Nice atmosphere too. Sadly, most 'turns' had to compete with the music from the bar next door. Even something as simple as a curtain would have made the difference. Still, probably the best range of bottled beers in a pub that I have seen for a long time - and the staff seemed very kind to everybody involved in the folk music side, so its definitely a place we will go back to.

We tried out another couple of our French Songs - The Bloody Inn ( a chilling a broadly true tale of mass murder in 18th century France) and Three Bonny Ships - a French Sea Shanty, and both went down very well. This is all very encouraging for us.

Rob told me that we have got an invite to play at the Cambrigde Folk Club which we are both very excited about.
