Subject: Review: Market Rasen Folk Club. 4th June.
What an evening of joy at the wonderful performances of three acts.
The evening started with several songs from Lucy Wright and Paul Young( If you have not heard of them before, you soon will). Paul sung his first solo song tonight and proved that he is not living in Lucys shadow as her guitarist... not only is he becoming accomplished in his handling of the guitar but he has a voice in his own right.
Lucy sung with her usual silk like voice and the audience were entranced by her once again.
The main spot of the evening...Bill Whaley(NOT Haley I must point out)
and Dave Fletcher gave a superb performance of not only great singing and instrument playing but wit and dry humour. Daves singing voice is incredible and Bills instrument handling is equally as good. The pair form a fine..no! better than fine duo who encourage audience participation.
"Cara" the resident band who once again played "The Fairy Queen" on guitar/pipes and violin and in incredible sync, were again in good form and proved well worthy of their place in the evenings entertainment.
If anyone sits at home in the Market Rasen area and complains that there is never anything to do there.....they are deluded...Go to your Folk Club and enjoy a quality evenings entertainment for a small cost.
Seldom have I seen three such quality acts booked to appear on the same evening....in one Folk Club. Don't forget also that Gainsborough Folk Club is on alternate Fridays to Market Rasen and our sing-arounds also provide quality entertainment....."Stitherum"..."John Blanks" "Terry and Gwenda"..Lucy and Paul(as above) etc etc etc etc.
There is no charge at sing-arounds!!!!
Be Blessed all.
