About 35 music lovers came to play at the Community Hall this month. An eclectic selection of entertainment as always - poetry by Dave, original (Gravity) by Simon, a Lament for the Drowned Sailor (Jackie), Swedish Tunes (Simon and Bruce), the Newport Girls (Rob) and old favourite (Witchita Linesman - Greg) and well known songs(10 pound Hammer, Hard Times, Fever), lots of Bush Orchestra tunes where everyone joined in, and as always most stayed and enjoyed the fellowship of the Folk Club until after 11. It was a lovely night - even for those who were tired after the working week!
Two highlights of the night: Firstly Moira's voilin turned up! The significance of this can only be appreciated when you know that last week Moira's house was broken in to, and the violin was stolen. After trips to the police, Cash Converters and other places, it eventually turned up in a violin shop on the other side of town. So when Moira came in with the violin, it was no wonder that she had such a broad smile. We are all very pleased for her. The other highlight? It has been rumored that a Barshop Quartet was being developed in Newport. Well after the break Danny assembled his merry men (all six - Bruce, Danny, Rob, Rob, Alisdair and Greg, pictured right) who launched into 'Sweet Adeline'. It was a moment where everyone was both stunned and delighted at the beauty of the music - quite a moment indeed. Bravo! Watch out when they get fitted with waistcoats, boaters and bow ties. So a lovely uplifting night of community music - sign of a healthy Folk Club that is going from stregth to strength. See you next month - Friday the 24th of April.
