Subject: RE: style not repertoire
Thanks much for that commendation. Another tale to finish on.
Johnny Silvo sang at the Dolphin, Robin Hoods Bay FC. As usual the room was part Folkies and part Diners who didn't realise they had let themselves in for a Folk Club night. Johnny Silvo sang standards, songs that they'd know but realising he had real Folkies there would do several arch folk songs in a row too. At the end of the evening I'd say the whole roomfull gathered to buy Johnny Silvo merchandise. I don't think I've ever seen that in many FCs.
Style and repertoire.
