Jane, people who are into Folk music are rarely sad people. We are a world apart from those who stay at home every night wondering why there is never anything to do in their area....the truth is generally..they never look for things to do...or if it stares them in the face they don't see it.
Folk music is on the up at the moment and from experience, the people who attend Folk Clubs are fairly well balanced people with a love of music.
Your voice is worthy of attention and I feel that you should do whatever it takes to use it for the good of all of us and for your own good....CD's perhaps in the near future.
Best wishes, Mike.

I reckon its time that a new duo was formed for MRFC.

Strollin' Johnny and Lizabeth :-) As a duo you would be travelling the world making a fortune. Maybe we could call you Blank Kitchen.

I know you wasn't half cut Lizabeth, but little ole redeye reared its ugly head when the photo was taken.

Hey Lizbeth, sorry about not including 'Dark-Eyed Molly', I had ir on the set-list but Simon asked me to do one of his songs (he's only ever heard one of his done by someone else once before), so I dropped it for 'Who Will Be My Nightingale'. I promise to do it next time I see you - nudge me gently and I'll happily oblige, it's one of my favourite Archie Fisher songs.

Lizabeth - CDs follow as a consequence of....

- having enough material to make one
- wanting to make a demo to help get gigs
- having people ask you if you've got a CD
- playing almost any gigs at all. (because that's where you're going to sell them, realistically, and they make a big difference to your income from a gig)
- finding an affordable way of recording one.

It doesn't take long before you need to get into recording!

Hope that helps!
Anahata

Kind of hoped you would have asked before John ! Ah well life's strange meanderings!! You were of course the master of ballads last eve and no exageration - a really good format for the evening as well; I liked the way you split your performance between the two .. You didn't sing Dark Eyed Molly and I think I've drawn to your attention how greatly loved it is - next time please! XX must away the burgers are burning brightly o'er the lea!

Well I know who you are Lizabeth, and your lovely voice is well worth recording for posterity. You can duet with me anytime! LOL!
And don't doubt your own ability on the guitar - your solo work has impressed everyone who's heard you. Good to see and hear you again last night (and Ernie too).

It was a real treat to have the double spot last night, in a fantastic (if slightly overheated - is their electricity connected to next-door's supply? LOL) venue, and to have the opportunity to MC such a talented line-up. Rosie and Lucie Coggle were a delight (loved the pink ties!), and Simon Johnson - well what can I say? Roger Beard was excellent finishing the evening off, apologies for the short set Roger, hope we'll have the full monty soon (no, no you daft buggers, not THAT full monty!).

Thanks to everyone who came, and to Villan for taking the plunge with the new venue.

Cheers,
Johnny :0)

Ah the Lady with the lovely voice, Welcome on board Lizabeth. Have to watch me P & Q's now :-)

Guitarzan (our Ernie) and Jane graced the stage under severe pressure to keep the quality going and they did.

I reckon you have got the bug again well and truly :-) (the singing one). More new songs - is there no end to your wealth of songs.

August the 13th will continue the high quality set last night,

With a couple of blues singers Chris Wright and Steve Newton

Plus a very talented lady called Lesley Curtis (not ot be missed)

Plus the wonderful Lucy Wright (no relation to Chris Wright - blimey these Wrights breed like rabbits :-)) and Paul Young

Plus the excellent Terry and Gwenda Cater who introduced Lucy and Paul to the folk world and last but not least Ian Enright who has taken control of the new Lincoln Folk Club and is also a very good singer.

Well, I've followed your "chat" for some time, but too shy too join in!! Jane K. making contact here, many thanks for the nice comments about Ernie and I- much appreciated! What a brilliant night all round, only sorry we had to leave before the end Les - apologies, not something we would normally do.Mal and I think the venue is great, don't drink so can't comment on the beer! So glad you didn't give up on organising the folk world in your part of Lincolnshire Les. John was brilliant, Simon Johnson - very impressive - book him Danno!!All in all a fantasic start. See you soon, must away to learn new material!!- the pressures on - the standards are set! Again thanks for the nice comment (on line!!! fame - ahhhh!) XX

That was Roger Beard who was excellent and did justice to rounding an excellent evening off.

Spot on review there GS. Many thanks for that.

Now let me think. You would pay at least a tenner for such quality music.
Calculator out 60 x £10 = £600. mmmm enough to go on holiday with.

Na don't worry folks, I will still keep it at £2 entrance.

All money made goes back in the pot for Main Guest artists appearing in the future at MRFC. Such as Bob Fox, John Breeze, CARA, George Papavgeris, John Conolly, Jack Hudson, Mary Humphries and Anahata, Vin Garbutt.

Watch this space for more artists still to be booked :-)

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.

What can I say. The whole evening was a great success. The room was full and a whole load of very talented artists sang and performed their socks off. Can't ask for more than that. :-)

Special thanks to Strollin' Johnny for being such a good MC.

Parking is a bit of a problem, but so long as people park sensibly along the lanes and don't block off peoples drives and don't park on the grass verges, then everything should be fine.

I will leave the rest of the mudcatters who attended to reviewing the evening.

So finally many thanks to everybody that attended both artists and listeners. It's team work. :-)

Sorry GS, wanted to do Stan Rogers because he's my favourite, Jack Hudson because he's too bloody good to be ignored the way he is, and a Trad song, so it had to be Annachie Gordon. Lay Down Your Weary Tune is on the set-list for Friday night, never fear!

Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated.

Ok you yellow bellies. I hope you listened to John Blanks taking over at Radio Lincolnshire. He must have picked 3 of the longest songs he could sing.
Having said that, I will let him off, because he was very interesting and sang so well. Not easy when you know you are live on radio.

So a big well done John. What colour are your pants now LOL
