Baldock and Letchworth, 3rd October 2007

This was the first of two support slots in quick succession. Here, with our good friends at the Baldock and Letchworth Club (which given our links to Alan and Sue Hewson of Tam Lin and Millrace) feels increasingly like a home club for us, we were supporting the Seattle-based pairing of Pint and Dale. Rob's oldest son came along to give us moral support, and help carry the increasing number of instruments we seem to be playing these days.

The format at B&L is that the support act starts the evening - which is nice because it means you can relax and really enjoy the main act and maybe even have drink after performing.

Pint and Dale play a great array of mainly nautically themed music. Pint is a great guitarist, sporting a Thompson-esque beret, Dale plays an array of instruments, including the Hurdy Gurdy. In their earlier days, they used to do French music, clearly something close to our heart - but it seems that has dropped out of their repertoire. But they did a great session and were very friendly people to meet.
