Thread Name: Best ever folk gig
Subject: RE: Best ever folk gig
when Martin Wyndham-Read wouldn't stop singing at my folk club one night a few years back!

Finally at 11.55 I decided we'd better stop as one of my predecessors had told me that we had a complaining neighbour nearby who could make trouble if we were too loud/late etc. Within 15 mins the hall was cleared & we were all away!

Turned out a couple of year later when I met the said neighbour she was a lovely person & all the bad feeling was on my predecessor's side.

fooey, we could have had a lot more of Martyn & Iris & John.

Iris had given workshops on accompanying at the National Folk Festival the week before, and our concert was the occasion I really understood what accompanying was about because every note Iris & John played enhanced Martyn's performance. I also had a lovely time talking to them that night.
