15-Dec-09 Low Row Folk Session

First visit since getting married so we took our netbook loaded with the video slideshow of some of our wedding photos for everyone to see. This set the night up for many references to wedding and happiness and joy etc - quite appropriate as tonight's theme was Christmas, winter and joy.

The club is run on a singaround basis, one each (or two for duos) at a time. Tonight there was a good mix of songs, poetry, short stories and instrumentals too. Most sing unaccompanied but there was also flute, recorder, melodeon and tambour tonight.

No break and no raffle so time for lots of songs and chat with time to go around the room four times - so we did four stints of two songs per go. We sang:
  • Back Home To You (Allan Taylor)
  • When (jiva)
  • Love At The Five And Dime (Nanci Griffith)
  • Best Friends (jiva)
  • Some Way Home (jiva)
  • Silent Night (Christmas carol)
  • Dream On (jiva)
  • Louise (Paul Siebel)
with appreciative listening and joining in from those present.

It was a fun night and we all joined in singing a Christmas carol as a round to the tune of Ilkley Moor Baht 'at!
