It's been four months since we last visited this club - where does the time go?
Although, because of the size of the room, it looked thin on the ground, there were 12 performers apart from us - quite a mix, encompassing blues, unaccompanied songs, whistle, concertina, self-penned, contemporary and traditional.
For our first two-song slot we did 'Love At The Five And Dime' (Nanci Griffith) and 'Two Old Friends' (Chris Simpson, founder member of Magna Carta), both of which went down well. After a lengthy break the second half got underway and we won the raffle! We donated one of the bottles of wine to Jim and Allyson Wigfield... Allyson had drawn the winning ticket!
Jim was the penultimate act, and he invited us up to accompany him on his self-penned 'South Shields' (we're also accompanying him on the CD album which we recorded and produced for him). jiva then finished the night with 'Best Friends' (jiva) and 'Louise' (Paul Siebel).
A canny night - we really mustn't leave it so long before our next visit!
