So I missed the acts in the arena, but did get to the singing. Richard - you're not being quite fair, because David Holt was singing folk songs, albeit from the other side of the Atlantic. In the Village Hall, by the look of it. I think I'm getting too old to want to pay large sums of money to sit in concerts on folding chairs, though. A far cry from the days when we determinedly struggled to find a space on the floor..... Kitty |

He was entertaining and educational, but not remotely patronising. The audience was spellbound. Richard, those are a few clips out of dozens of concerts and events. There was plenty of folk song at the festival. |

05 Sep 07 - 07:36 AM (#2141355) Subject: RE: Towersey Folk Festival - some YouTubes From: Hamish Yes, Ruth - the clips I posted are not meant to be representative. It's just what I chose on a whim to record., proximity to the stage being a key factor. It's only a "stills" camera, I wasn't really planning on taking any videos at all, so I didn't have any plan of approach, and I certainly didn't have any strategy to make it comprehensive. The Parallelogram gig wasn't anywhere near as jazzy as the clip makes out - that was probably the most extremely jazzy passage in the whole set. It was completely random that I chose those two minutes. I wished I'd kept it running at the end: as you can get a hint, Martin Green was about to head off into a quite folksie and lyrical passage. And I wish I hadn't left the camera in the car for the Van Eyken gig, which was awesome: probably my personal highlight of the weekend. Incredibly, before I'd posted this trailer, and in under 24 hours, one of the Mike & Ali clips had notched up 279 views!! Anyway, thank you all for your kind comments. -- Hamish |
