From: My guru always said As far as I'm concerned the key is a moveable feast - it's the rythym that counts - what was it - '3/4, 4/4' or something? And it's either 'Rant across the River' or 'Humming around the Arndale' - you can't have your cake & eat it my lad!!! Integrity? Just enjoy it - I did.... |

17 Apr 03 - 03:29 AM (#935243) Subject: RE: Folk music in Rickmansworth, UK, (16/4). From: Piers Many thanks to all those who came last night, especially Graham Robins, our main guest, and for bringing a truckload of his fans along. After 43 years on the road in rock bands he ought to be good and he was, very powerful voice but very well controlled. He performed all his own material plus a Bob Dylan and a Donovan song. His songs were well written, in my opinion, and very influenced by blues/soul but went down really well in our small folk club. A nice couple of songs from Martin Dent and some performance poetry and song from Annette for floorspots a high quality night as usual. Marlon enjoyed himself to the full as usual, but didn't embarrass me too much, but yes he does need a good spanking. All in all a good evening. Cheers Piers |
