Time again for Marian Bradfield - we had received a call earlier in the day from club organiser Keith asking for our help! Could we put Marian up for the night? Well, of course, we were delighed to help out. Marian and her American agent Mike arrived at our house around 5pm and after some chat and quick dinner it was off to Cramlington in one car.
Usual format for a guest night - two floor spots with 4 songs each before Marian's first set and then after the obligatory raffle in the break on again with 2 songs apiece and then final set from the guest.
Marian was on good form tonight with Mike doing her sound for her so a well earned rest for resident soundman Dave Page. All too soon the night came to an end and after shouts for 'More' Marian duly obliged and we all went home happy after a great night.
A few glasses of wine when we got home, more chat and then off to bed after a very long and good day.
Marian is often referred to as "Ireland's best kept secret"... very appropriate, very apt. She's not yet a household name, but she ought to be - her writing and singing are great... professional, entertaining, heartfelt and warm with that certain Irish twinkle to top it all off. And she's a lovely person too. We look forward to catching up with her again.
