Oxford Folk Club 19th January 2007

For me, this was a welcome return to Oxford, where I lived and worked for most of the 1980s. That said, even though I had passed it a thousand times, it was the first time I had ever been in the Port Mahon pub - and I had clearly missed out on a very friendly watering hole.

This was a fun night with a range of local singers - from Ireland and County Durham, some great unaccompanied singers and some excellent blues and traditional playing. Generally a quiet night for the club, but they were kind enough to let us finish off the evening. This is a club we would very much like to return to. The organisers were very welcoming, and guests were very complimentary about the new French material.
