2nd March 2008, Readifolk

A very nice return to the excellent Readifolk Club in The Gardener's Arms in Reading. Rob and I had very much enjoyed our two visits to Readifolk and were happy to return and do a support slot. This allowed us to again play our new composition, 'Solo Por Tres Meses' and we also introduced The Flower of Magherally into the repetoire for the first time. Some excellent floor singers and a couple of good songs from MC Malcolm provided the rest of the support for the evening with Ceri Rhys Matthews and Christine Cooper providing the main act for the evening. Two really friendly people playing excellent Welsh tunes on both flute, bagpipes and fiddle, with some nice songs as well. It was both a pleasure and an education to be in the audience for the evening.

The trip to Reading allowed us to see our great friends Joe and Mandy again - Joe is only a whisker away from being our official photographer, alongside Rob's partner. Sadly, neither of them can put me any more hair on this balding pate of mine. Ho hum.

Next stop for us is Baldock and Letchworth later this month where we are doing a full spot later this month. The repetoire is continuing to build and strengthen and, with a welcoming club like Alan and Sue Hewson run, it couldn't be better to try some new material out. We will also be taking a contingent of friends from St Albans. So, it should be a good night.
