KFFC Club Night number 2!

Well after the euphoria of the opening night we are starting to settle into a routine. We had a reasonable turnout last night (about 35) and we had a lot of fun.

Phil graham opened things up doing a mixture of traditional songs, contemporary and self penned numbers. His Rock 'n Roll roots showing through on a number of songs and he certainly got us in the mood.

Kathryn Davidson gave us a couple of traditional songs including "The Cow Medley" which included a sung slip jig, clever stuff. Her appearance was to raise money for her charity trip to Uganda to provide fire awareness training so we donated the proceeds of the raffle and a collection(about £77). I'm not sure how we pay for the acts in January but the work Kathryn is doing seemed more important frankly. If you would like to find out more please visit Kathryn's MySpace page .

Joolz Cavell did a fine set of self penned songs including the clever and very moving Baba which highlights child labour issues in the coco trade....brought home by the fact that the young lad who is the subject of this song has never tasted chocolate! Weird world we live in.

....and Keepers Fold. What can I say? They are simply one of the most entertaining acts on the folk scene; traditional and a sprinkling of contemporary songs sung and played with skill & gusto. You just have to join in, the harmonies from act and crowd during "Across The Hills of Home" were eye wateringly good. Can't think of a better Christmas Party act.

The already customary late night singaround was a fine blend of styles and included a number of singing virgins as well as all of the acts providing informal afters. A bit of banjo too not surprisingly. Finished early this month...1.40 am.

Number 3 on the 19th January will feature the all round talents of
Richard grainger, the gentle songs and harmonies of Les Cameron & Barbara Helen and the stunning guitar wizardry of Nick "six fingers" Brooker. Another superb night I'll wager!

Thanks to all who came and sang, played or watched.
