romford-folk-club | Andy Roberts

We went along to Romford Folk Club on Tuesday, and had a good old time of it as usual. I know the basement room is a bit of a dive but the conviviality or the regulars is always cheerful, and slightly edgy as the evening draws on due to the tradition of well humoured banter. It wasn’t a guest night, just an ordinary sing a long, and often these are the best. I’d hate to start recording a performers list but from memory there were at least the following: Kriss Pouch Smolowic Mick Brown and Richie Clive and Linda Rocking Bob Helen Andy Roberts Margaret Brown Len Reeder Mick and Nora Pam I took along my Archtop Guitar and played one of my own songs from The Andy Roberts Tapes: I Only Came For My Suitcase

followed by my version of Chuck berry’s classic anthem for estranged fathers: Memphis Tennessee

Thanks to Linda for capturing these videos. On playing them back it’s unfortunate that balance between guitar and vocals isn’t right so either the archtop is just too loud for my voice or I simply wasn’t singing loudly enough myself, I wonder why? Right at the end I was honoured with the opportunity to wind up with one final song so I performed Bob Marley’s Redemption song but it wasn’t practical to record that one as the general merriment peaked.
