Wow!
Tries again!
Told V why review late when he stops laughing he might let the rest know.
So we were on first and the audience and the mc were very kind and we enjoyed ourselves.(great idea for post spot recreation Wooky)

The Caters were superb as always they pick and perform some great materiel and make it look oh so easy.
One day I will be relaxed and have a rapport with the audience but never like they do.
Thanks for not fiddling with me knobs this time mate!

Andrew Tiffany is always so good.
I went and sat with my mates from the band Vintage so we could bitch about his playing (HAH!) You can't fault the man and he sings very well too.
If he wasn't such a nice guy I would hate him(lol)
He Plays every thing from Beautiful ballads to Blues and Ragtime and so effortlessly is great to see and hear.

WWW Well what is to be said about these nutters?
Apart from: -
Seriously good musicians, great harmony's, beautiful arrangements, original songs and tunes (mostly) great sense of fun and all lovely supportive people.
I have actually been a WWW for a day and it was great to see how hard they work at getting their music right and having fun at the same time.
Ok I promise not to brag about that any more but great set Ladies.

The Spotlight guests were Hissy Fit.
Now I know I am gonna get in trouble from those who know the correct name for what these lovely ladies do.
They sing.
Accompanied only by the sound of each other's voices and the silence of a rapt audience.
Some of the most moving and sometimes, gritty songs of the seafarer.
Odd times a guitar makes an appearance but that too is just background for more gorgeous vocals.
They are an absolute treat to hear and they write some lovely songs too.
One of them based on the very personal story of tragedy at sea avoided for one young man by the arrival of a tax bill, and the subsequent loss of his shipmates.
One of the talented duo was performing with a serious sounding chest infection but they didn't let that sop them giving us a set that was both moving and informative.
They also got the Faldingworth audience to sing along wave glow sticks in the air and generally behave not at all like staid and dyed in the wool folkies are supposed to.
The audience were as always superb and I think I can speak for all the performers that it was a pleasure to be asked to play for the MRFC .
Ps Innit nice to have sandwiches and hot tea available?
Blessed are the sandwich makers and the washer up's(washers up?) shall inherit the earth!
(Hey if you want correct spelling and grammar, get a teacher to do the review lol)
Cheers all
