23-Feb-10 Cramlington Folk Club

Keith, in decidedly jovial mood, got the night underway shortly after 8:00 pm with the opening verses of a humorous poem, setting the scene for yet another grand Cramlington night. There was the usual varied crop of residents and one new performer that we'd not seen before. We sang:

• Love At The Five & Dime (Nanci Griffith)
• Best Friends (jiva)
• Louise (Paul Siebel)

It's quite something to have the Cramlington choir in full voice one moment and then having the room in rapt attentive silence the next. It's a smashing place to play - a testament to Keith & Audrey, residents, visitors and audience alike.

19-Feb-10 How cool is that

Imagine the scene... Friday night we're both on our PCs in the study and at 23:10 the telephone rings - it's Anthony John Clarke... He's playing his gig at Leigh Folk Club and has rung us from the stage! He quickly says "listen to this I'm going to play your 'One More Song'" and hands his mobile to his wife Julia to hold while he plays.

Well, we were gobsmacked - how thoughtful and outrageously cool is that! We listened, openmouthed as he sang and as the audience swelled every 'One more song to sing'. It was lovely and when he sang (his own words) 'I'm standing here all alone' the audience responded with  'Aaahh' and he followed with "And Jimmy and Val who wrote this song, they're listening on the telephone" we just couldn't believe our ears.

And we got a text message from a friend asking "Did you hear me singing?"

A lovely lovely end to the day for us, grinning from ear to ear.
