Ep'th Folk was again beset by misfortune on Monday when 8 of it's loyal supporters rang in to say they could'nt be there for very good reasons.A phone call is always very helpful and appreciated.
Despite this about 20 got the meeting off to a great start with a number of notable local singers amongst the gathering crowd. The charge of £1.00 on the door was quickly forgotten when the crowd found who was taking it from them. Who else but your lovely Jane or JK to mudcatters.The sing around format seemed to prove popular and we made 3 circuits of the room by the end of the night.
The standard of singing and playing was very high and the music offered varied from traditional songs up to the swinging 60s. With a good crowd, chorus songs were sung lustily as in the early days of Ep'th folk .
Song of the evening for me was the version of Archie Fishers song Jock of Hazeldine sung by Dave, lead singer of Tin Bath accompanied so effortlessly, or so it seemed by Christina on fiddle.
Next meeting is on Monday 21st. November at 8pm. The Old School Inn. Battle Green Epworth
