Roy Clinging came to Chorlton Folk Club last Thursday. He played two concertinas, though not at the same time, he played the guitar and sang, mostly, English Folk songs from Cheshire.

He was magnificent. He has a great voice and a relaxed style with good humour. A bit like the Boat Band, which he is nothing like, he reminds us that folk songs and tunes sung and played well are an utter joy.


I guess lots of you out there know this, but for those who do not:
If you run a Folk Club book this man he is will bring much joy and so will the Boat Band so book them as well.

Now, Duncan McFarlane in Otley, Friday 8 December, Christmas come early or what?
