09-Nov-09 Hugh and Katy Moffatt in Castleford

We picked up a thread from Maggie Gee on Facebook (thank you Maggie) that Hugh and Katy Moffatt (brother and sister) singer songwriters from the USA were to be in Castleford and we just had to make the trip down there. It was a 2 hour and a bit drive but worth every mile.

We had first come across Hugh Moffatt when we were at a songwriting workshop in Germany in 2006 with Allan Taylor. One of the attendees (Arno from Germany) sang the song 'Jack and Lucy' especially for us - he was reminded of it by our story... and we just loved it! And yes, they did do the song on Monday night and it was wonderful.

It was a superb night all round. Katy did a set with Hugh coming on for the last two songs, then Hugh did his set with Katy coming on for the last two songs and then they did a set together as well. So it was 11:30pm by the time we left for the long drive home but we were happy.
