First visit to this club held at the Railway Inn at Low Row, not far from Brampton in Cumbria.
In the early part of the evening most people sang unaccompanied (apart from us!). Later another singer had her guitar and there was also a chap with a bodhran. We were made very welcome and soon settled into the around the room singaround night. The performers all seemed very knowledgeable about the songs they chose, and so there was plenty of introductory chat.
As there was no break and no raffle there was time to go around the room five times - so we did five stints of two songs per go, with appreciative listening and some joining in from those present. We were really pleased with the way everyone got into our final song ('One More Song'), singing heartily. And to cap it all, Maddy Prior was one of the singers that night... and she came across at the end to say that she had enjoyed our stuff.
The club runs once a month, and we'll certainly be back in a few months time.
