Subject: RE: New Ballad Club/Session in Sheffield
Banjiman your very welcome looking forward to seeing you there.
It's not pedantic to point out a cock-up. It's well observed and thanks a lot. I am inclined to go with 21st but will check with the venue re frequency and get back on thiis listing post haste.
Siubhne you are dead right about the Max Hunter stuff. Its a real treasure trove of amazing songs (many very economical versions of big ballads) and some of the finest singers ever like Almeida Riddle to name but one. By the way I love your website As for accompaniments I thought I was being a bit wild using Indian raga for accompaniment but Tibetan Singing Bowl? Wow! (It makes perfect sense to me but I'll look forward to hearing it.
This brings up the point about the idea behind this venture. The songs are the thing, beyond that there's the whole thing about their relevancy today and how we bring them to life for audiences. Which goes right back to Paul's question.
