It was my last night at Havering Folk Club of 2008 since I'll be missing the xmas party next week. I started the first half with Not John from Loudon Wainwright since it was Remember John Lennon day on Monday, then Steeleye Span's version of Captain Coulston - well my version really. In the second half I got the chance to do Sitting on the Bank, one of my own songs from very long ago.

Andy Roberts Music
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2008/12/andy-roberts-music.html
last night I returned to playing Andy Roberts Music at the Havering Folk Clubon a slightly quieter than usual singers night. Some of the regulars were off sick with colds etc and the audience seemed less inclined to join in the singing. There were some excellent new floor spots though, with more guitar players than usual which makes a change.So I played my most recent version of Searching for Venus with reference to the recent conjunction of Venus and Jupiter with the moon. Hmm, well it seems the version on Last.fm is very different so maybe I'll need to re-record that one in the new year.Then I played "When the Waters Rise" which is a dramatic tango about climate change but realised I haven't successfully memorised all the words yet.Due to the new campaign to start the evening's entertainment more promptly there was even time to do one number in the second half so I played "The Wreckers Prayer" again since I've been getting some very positive feedback about that particular song.

I put one little clip up after the first time I attended Havering folk club in Romford but sometimes Peter is there with a large video camera, tripod and everything. This is the clip of the band called Balgores playing live at Havering Folk Club back in July.

Havering Folk Club
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2008/08/havering-folk-club.html
It was a testing evening at Havering Folk Club this week, with intrusive music coming up from downstairs due to some kind of organisational discoordination.I took along my 12 string guitar again and played one song, Michael Chapman's Postcards from Scarborough Next week I'll probably have to give Romford a miss as it's probably going to be London Wiki Wednesday

Archtop Guitar
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2008/07/this-week-at-havering-folk-club-i-took.html
This week at the Havering Folk Club I took along my old Archtop Guitar and played a couple of bluesy songs.The same old bluesI know this from J J Cale and Captain Beefheart but there's also a Lynnrd Skynrd version and I'm not sure who wrote it.Down Drinking at the barBy Loudon WainwrightI've been singing this one since the early seventies. It's from the Attempted Moustache album. I think it sounds good on the jazz guitar.
