Rhyl Folk Club

It’s been a long time since I did a Saturday morning write up – sorry, life got in the way.What happened to the light? It looked pretty awful for the audience and was a nightmare for photos. I didn’t count the numbers but it was very, very busy.

Fred MCeed but didn’t sing due to his frail, failing body. Mike started us off with a shanty, then Fred set about trying to squeeze everyone in.

I’d taken my aunt to one of those spas where fish eat the dead flesh. £45. Still a lot cheaper than a funeral.

Alun had been to his uncle’s funeral this week, where he’d sung Calon Lan. He repeated it for us last night – not a dry eye in the house. Only October and Alan M was in trousers.

Dave and Rosie haven’t sung at the club before, but a really nice set included Neil Kimber’s “Don’t take the heroes”. Kimber’s Men are back with us in March, but we have our old chum, the amazingly talented all round nice guy Terry Hiscock on the 24th of this month.Bring extra cash to buy his new cd.

After a late break we were treated to the Von Warburton Family Singers. Carole read one of her serious poems about war and, the better alternative, peace. Thankfully sense has prevailed and Trump came away empty handed when it came to the Nobel Peace Prize. Wonder if he’ll try to fire or sue the Committee?

It’s been a while since we saw Annette, and she brought her chum Janine with her for a couple of songs each. Only 15 minutes left for Fred to fill!

Singers’ night again next week.
