And now...the next morning...more time to spend....so:-
Strollin' Johnny...you did a great job with the introductions last night..that in itself would have been enough for some but....You really were the star of last nights show. The line up was quite impressive too. John Foreman(hope that's the right name) followed the intro and first few songs by John B with very much his own style of Folk performance. Ernie and Jane played and sung together which was certainly a new one on me...Ernies guitaring and Janes lovely silky voice made for excellent listening. Simon Johnson, who I personally have not had the pleasure of hearing before, gave a polished professional performance(and had one of the songs he wrote some time ago sung by John B). Da-Capo were excellent and execute those Steeleye Span songs so well. Nice too to hear a-capella. Rosie and Lucy Coggle, mesmerised us with their music..we will be seeing more of them no doubt. Don't know the name of the last man who played but he also was excellent. Hope I haven't missed anyone.
Strollin Johnny was as usual impressive, carrying on his talent and professional approach from his Wednesday..Radio Lincolnshire appearance....John has a perfect face for Radio...sorry! only joking John.
The night was such a success...organisation first class...music excellent...staff at the Hall excellent...beer good....what more can we ask for....Yes..you got it...Les the master organiser did not put the prices of admission up...What a man!!!! Well done Les.
Best wishes.
