Rhyl Folk Club

With a total absence of volunteers it was left to me to fill Fred’s size 10s and MC for the night – not too difficult as we were a bit thin.

Got the crap out of the way first.

Geoff had 2 brand new songs, no cribsheet, one in Welsh. Excellent! He missed the second half of the night as he appeared to be covering for a mate who works for Green Flag (other recovery services are available) and had to go to a breakdown on the Wirral.

Mike was up next, with a tale of the times when we exported our unwanted to Virginia.

Sam had dug out a Yardbirds B side song from 60 years ago.

Anna had her lyre harp tonight; the “bandage” wasn’t a poorly hand, merely a safety device.

Earlier in the evening John W’s chair had catastrophically collapsed, sending our chum crashing to the ground. Suffering concussion, Carole propped him up on a chair and did her ventriloquist act. Possibly an improvement?

After Filibuster introductions, Alun eventually knocked out his songs, which took us to the break. Geoff, the ticket you gave Mike won; get your bottle of Glenallachie 15 yr old off him next week.

The second half was no less eventful, with Barbara choking on a Werther’s Original. Family flowers only and a do at the Miners’ Welfare after the Crem.

Despite the MC we almost finished on time. John shot past me doing about 75 mph on the way home so he must have been ok. Next week have an extended spot from the not-so-dynamic duo from Co. Durham; otherwise it’s a singers’ night so bring your songs, poems, pets, friends, your granny’s ashes (concession) or whatever.
