September was another great Club Night get-together success - a turn out of about 45 people, very surprising considering it was a very wet night and Grand Final Eve. Christine and Alison arrived early just before 7.30pm to open up with at least 8 peple already waiting outside. Thr troups got to work immediately setting up chairs and the night kicked off at approx. 7.50pm. Interestingly most of our regulars weren't there - Alan ha a choir gig but arrived just in time for the 'Parting Glass'. Michael was overseas this month and in his abscence Christine hoted the night with the support of Alison and Jackie keeping tabs on 'who sang what'. The night finished just after 11pm with about 20 people stil keen to kick on. By 11.30 'closing time' had to be called - that's always a sign of a good nitht! More details of the night still to come - stay tuned.

Out here in "East Newport" (i.e. Selby) I'm only staggering distance from the Selby Folk Club. But at Selby the monthly meetings are structured as 'open mic' followed by a main act - i.e. get up and perform in front of an audience (which includes the main act) - which can be a intimidating for new musicians. I love the idea of sitting in a circle at Newport and contributing a song that others can join in on. It changes the focus from straight 'performance' to just having fun with like minded musicians. Cheers, Hillbilly Mick
