Havering Folk Club News
23rd January 2011
Hi Haverfolk,
Peter here with the latest newsletter.
Last Session:
Our session last Wednesday saw Clive & Linda Paish, otherwise known as Ploughman’s Lunch, make their debuts as joint MCs and they kept the evening running well to time, making sure everyone got two spots.
After taking the opening spot themselves, as is customary, they introduced Bernie Pilgrim, Foxen, Smolowik, Helen Tegg, Jim Coombes, Clara Barker – a virgin Haverlady from the Isle of Man, Margaret Brown, Bert Dady & Keith Petty, Pep Pepper & Terry Jones, Bob Cash, Jane Thomson, Tony Thomson, Helen Islip, Dave Worley and Linda Worley. To finish off there was a join-in version of Wild Rover for as many as would.
Haverfolks’ Outside Activities:
I mentioned the next session of Smolowik’s Four Seasons Folk Club last week, but it seems I forgot to mention the date – so even I’m not perfect!
So, taking it from the top: Four Seasons Folk Club, Polska YMCA, 20 Gunnersbury Ave., London, W5 3QL. Nearest underground Ealing Common, District & Piccadilly lines. Saturday, 5th February. Concert begins at 7pm sharp and finishes at 10pm. Arriving at 6.30pm is recommended. Bring own drinks and nibbles, cups and plates provided. Featured artists will be Ian Martin, Andy Roberts, Smolowik, Smolen (with P. Smolen and A Kotowicz.
Other Stuff:
Talking Elephant are still running their January sales with 30% off many of their CD titles and they have new titles and downloads as well. There are currently five titles by Horslips (anyone a fan?), including live at the 02, new Mawkin Causley and too many other things to mention here. Have a look at www.talkingelephant.co.uk You can also sign up for their newsletter if sufficiently interested.
The Golden Lion usually has a weekly special offer on either meals or drinks. Useful on a Wednesday evening and also other days if you’re in striking distance. E-mail tavern@tavern.fbmta.com to be put on their mailing list.
Mary Bryan, Chairman of Essex Folk Association, was injured in a road accident on Thursday 20th January sustaining a fractured leg. At the moment she’s in hospital in Romford. Mary is very well known in the local folk world and no doubt all who know her will wish her a speedy recovery.
Back to HFC:
Next Wednesday, 26th January is another of our open sessions – all welcome to perform or simply to enjoy.
The following week, February 2nd we have guest artists The Kittiwakes who made a big impression when they played a floor spot here a few months ago..
Don’t forget, our next three sessions will be held at The Sun, 47 London Road, Romford, RM7 9QA during renovation work at The Golden Lion, the same room as Romford Folk Club – thanks for arranging it Mick!
So make it a date – Wednesday at eight!
Cheers – Peter
