Well, it was with trepidation on our 18th wedding anniversary that KB and myself waited at the Falcon Inn in Bude to see if anyone would come! Oh us of little faith!
A fantastic evening of superb talent rewarded us! Huge thanks to the ideford Folk Club members who attended, what a talented lot you are, Tim The landlord joined us with his guitar, Mothy joined us - you have a lovely voice young man, We loved the unaccompanied song you sang! Towards the end of the evening a group of curious people from the bar came in, it was a real highlight! one of them was a young man from Sweden, he borrowed the landlords guitar and we all held our breath, WOW! I have NEVER seen fingers mive so fast on guitar strings, it was sad that several had left it was an amazing performance and one which I will long remember. The youngest person there was 11 and though shs didnt perform on her own, she did join in all the choruses - well done Izzy! The oldest was 78 and he played fast and furious on the melodeon! We had Music and song, traditional and contemporary, old and young. I am now really looking forward the the next one on May 13th - put it in your diaries! Why not stay on after Fox & Hounds and come along! We will be going from one to the other!
Thanks again all those of you who supported. We couldn't have done it without you!
Cheers, Lucy
