Folk night  by boxplayer

Folk night

Lots of good things at the folk club this perishingly cold night. A floor spot of a tune from Will Allen and a whole evening of Nick Hart performing miserable folk songs (you know the sort of thing - murder, pressgangs and hangings) sung beautifully and accompanied by strong melodic guitar. Very busy with almost all seats taken.

- A recently composed song about a part of London demolished to make way for St Pancras station. The river is the Fleet, long since buried but still running under the streets of London. https://youtu.be/gVYerTWmbas
- Waterloo Dance https://youtu.be/e1O4PtGO8uo

3 good things
1. Got back on the bike again and cycled to the farmers' market and Lidl.
2. Fishmonger was back at the market - bought scallops and king prawns for supper.
3. A jug of daffodils - also procured from the market.

I love the description - miserable folk music, I know exactly what you're talking about. Often very intriguing storytelling within.

Ha ha, I know exactly the songs you mean! Going to listen to that song on the link now....

@boxplayer Tee hee! My boy is passionate about sea shanties and The Longest Johns are his top favourite band. There are days when I have to draw the line at the "down, down and drowned" song, especially when his Dad happens to be at sea!!

I listened to the clips and thought they were magic! Is Nick in any way related to Tim?
