Music, Auctions & Fish

[Derek]

Last weekend was busy. On Fri eve we held our monthly folk club. It was another fab turn out. When we first started we only had a handful of people come along, but 3yrs on and we are drawing good numbers especially with the younger people (under 25 ish) who seem to be enjoying live 'folk music'. Heres a few pics from Fri
Paddy and Elaine before we opened the doors


Not long after it was filling up


Then a little later the music started

Sat and we were back in the hall at a Guide dogs for the Blind 'Auction' to help raise much needed money.


I bid for a singing fish ... as you can see I got it




Over £1700 was raised.

Very good turnout, Derek! What song does your fish sing?

[Hamish]

Derek, It is great to see the Folk Club going from strength to strength - I am looking forward to the second Festival in September, which will be a total sell-out I'm sure.

When we spoke on the 'phone yesterday, Elaine was telling me about the fish! I cannot wait to see it (but hearing it might be another matter!!)

Take care,
Ham.

Good for all of you for raising that much money....but OH NO!

Sounds like a good weekend. If the fish is any good,...maybe you can let him sit in on a song or two at your next practice.

Super pics, great to see the folk club thriving.
Hope you can train your fish to sing Flower of Scotland
or perhaps being a Welsh fish he will sing Ar Hyd Y Nos
.

The fish has already got me rehearsing the two songs it already knows ...
Take me to the River & Angel of the Morning.
oh doh, there is no let up for a musician ...
