Thread Name: best thing seen at a folk club
Subject: RE: best thing seen at a folk club
Hearing Scowie's "When all men sing" for the first time, in a crowded bar in Bushey on Boxing Day 2000, by Johnny Collins. Talk about hair standing up...

Hearing Martyn Wyndham-Read's version of Bogle's "Gift of years".

Dave Webber & Anni Fentiman singing "Blackbird", as she quietly slipped her hand into his.

The first time I saw Cloudstreet singing "King Willie" I cried with laughter even as I was amazed at their vocal feats. And later when I heard them singing "Scots of the Riverina", I just cried; and still do every time I hear them sing it. Too close to home.

The Songwainers singing in the Kettering folk club in October 1973. Wow - I'd give a year of my life just to go back and listen to them again.

You guessed it - I am a vocals man.
