Thread Name: Wendy Arrowsmith Album Launch Gig
Subject: RE: Wendy Arrowsmith Album Launch Gig
A precision instrument like the banjo needs a precision tuner!

But seriously, the launch gig was damn fine entertainment! Wendy did 2 sets which included her own compositions like the Visitor, which has already become a classic around North Yorkshire folk clubs, as well as traditional pieces such as She moved through the fair and Fish gutting lassie. Wendy has a magnificent voice and deserves all the recognition that comes her way. The support acts were excellent, not only did they do an amazing job of presenting there own compositions but provided excellent backing vocals and accompaniment on several numbers. Hats off to Brother Crow, Joolz Cavell, Liam Haicead and the banjo player...what was his name?....Oh yes, Paul Arrowsmith.
Based on what I heard Wendy's CD "Now Then" should be flying off the shelves.
Good luck to all the performers and hope to see you again at the new hot spot for folk music in north yorkshire.....Kirkby Fleetham Folk club.
