It's been a few years since we've seen Prelude, so we took the opportunity to get down to our local folk club for a night of good entertainment.
First support act was Doug Wood who played banjo and sang traditional old American songs. Second support act was Jimmy & Carol who played guitar and double bass while singing bluegrass songs. Both acts were very well received by an enthusiastic Cramlington audience, and created a good atmosphere in readiness for the main act.
Our memories of Prelude had always been of a trio. Following a few line-up changes Irene and Brian Hume had been performing with Chris Ringer for some time - but tonight we were surprised and pleased to find that Ian Vardy had re-joined them, and so we saw Prelude as a four piece band including re-workings of some of Ian's songs in their set-list. From the word go they had the audience on their side as the Cramlington choir raised their voices to add to the well-honed vocals of this obviously professional and experienced act.
All in all a grand night - well done to MC and organiser Keith Taylor.
