We'd been invited along to the Comrades Club in Whitley Bay by John Jeffrey (he runs the occasional Saturday folk acoustic music nights there). The 'entertainment' for the evening was a group called Folk 'n Local... We'd not heard of them before and didn't know what to expect, so we headed off just to chill out and have an evening off from our own music and PCs and recording and designing etc.
Folk 'n Local are a 4-piece who sing Geordie traditional/fun/music hall type songs and some stuff from the 50s through to 70s pop era too with the odd modern pop song thrown in for good measure. Instrumentation was guitars, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, Northumbrian pipes and even a drinks tray acting as a makeshift tambourine.
There was a canny buffet at half time and we managed to have a natter with Few Broth too.
Thanks for the invite, John.
