Podcast Prototype Number 1
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2010/06/podcast-prototype-number-1.html
Well I didn't get to Havering Folk Club last Wednesday because I was on holiday canal boating on the Kennet and Avon canal on board Isabella.So instead I'm blogging here about what's happening with the Tuesday evening live streaming music show that I've been doing for almost a year now, most weeks. I've decided to turn it into a podcast as well. That means you don't have to be there live at 7.00pm on a Tuesday in order to hear the show. You should be able to subscribe with iTunes or similar feed reading software, and have each episode downloaded as an mp3 file to listen to as and when you have a spare moment.The show itself is pretty much the same unrehearsed music and chat as always except that I don't stop to mess about with the record/stop button and saving the description and tags etc in between each song. The whole thing gets recorded as one block and then the audio is stripped out and distributed through the podcasting channel via one of my websites called andyroberts.me We're still in the prototyping stage so this could change but for the present the new url for the podcast feed should be at http://andyroberts.me/?feed=podcast Try putting that into your iTunes subscriptions . In my version you have to go to the overhead top go to the top of page drop down menu and select "Advanced" then "Subscribe to Podcast" and paste the url http://andyroberts.me/?feed=podcast into the box which pops up. Your mileage may vary.I can still edit out individual songs for uploading to youTube so there's nothing lost in that respect and here are the five songs from last week's Andy Roberts podcast prototype number 1
The Wreckers Prayer
People Are Strange
Cormorants
Here Comes The Sun
Narrow Boats

Back In The Field - Norwegian Wood - Wreckers Prayer
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2010/03/back-in-field-norwegian-wood-wreckers.html
That was a whole week ago, so I'm getting behind with blogging the weekly songs which makes it more difficult to remember.So the date was Wednesday 10th March at Havering Folk Club and the songs I played last week were Back in The Field and Norwegian Wood.If I remember correctly there was also time for one last song at the end of the evening and I played The Wreckers Prayer.Not to self: Must be more prompt when writing up these music blogs. According to youtube I seem to have played The Rowan Tree recently as well and that may well be a missing week.

Crail Folk Club
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2009/09/crail-folk-club.html
Singaround at Crail Folk ClubI've been away for two weeks in Scotland, more precisely the East Neuk of Fife, so that meant I missed two sessions at Havering but managed to make a visit to Crail Folk Club on the second Thursday. Crail Folk Club meets at the Golf Hotel in Crail, Fife on the second and fourth Thursday in the month unless it's the mid summer season when they move to Crail town hall. I think there's also a session at the pub in Largo Ward on the other Thursdays but that may not be published. Ayway, Crail turned out to be another very friendly club with a large pool of talented regular singers out of whom different combinations are likely to turn up on any one given week. The specific venue is in one end of the restaurant section of the Golf Hotel, just opposite the small bar area. With the doors closed and about two dozen people present it soon became rather warm but we'd got kind of used to that. The format was that of a singaround, which is new to me but not uncommon. Seated around the room facing inwards, an imaginary baton is skillfully passed around clockwise by the MC, so everybody gets the chance to either sing or pass, as many times as it takes. In this case, four times by closing time. Many people sang acapella and there were also about seven guitars, and later one violin. Not a ukulele in sight. There was a mixture of Scottish folk songs, old music hall songs, Irish and American songs and one or two I wouldn't presume to describe acurately.Not having a guitar with me, I was dependent on somebody volunteering to lend me one which they did and I'm very grateful to John for letting me play his fine instrument. To start with, I really ydidn't know what to expect so I sang one song unaccompanied - "Going Up Camborne Hill Coming Down"Then one of my own - "The Wreckers Prayer"Followed by "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" and "Captain Coulston"We enjoyed our evening at Crail folk club with new friends and felt like a home from home so if we end up in Fife again next year, which would be lovely, I'm sure we'll return to see what's going on in Crail or Largo.

Linda Hartley MC at Havering Folk Club
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2009/05/linda-hartley-mc-at-havering-folk-club.html
Last night it was Linda Hartley's turn to be MC at Havering Folk Club and I can tell you she was just a little bit nervous about it for a few hours beforehand but did a cracking job on the night itself. It was good to see some new faces this week, which made up for one or two regulars not being present - I don't know if they succombed to the dreaded lurgy that goes around (not really swine flu) or are Manchester United supporters lol.I took my 12 string guitar along and played two songs in the first half:Michael Chapman's Postcards from Scarborough - of which the video from the last time I played that song is available on the Havering Folk Club Andy Roberts website And secondly, a repeat of my new song Yellow Boat which was videod last week by Linda herself.In the second half there was time for another song so I played an old favourite - The Wreckers PrayerAnother great night out at Havering Folk.

The Wreckers Prayer
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2009/03/wreckers-prayer.html
The Wreckers Prayer is one of the songs I wrote during a road trip around the north of Spain after my travelling companion let me down. It harks back to an inscription vaguely remembered from a church wall on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly and the notorious Cornish Wreckers of old, but then also gells with the news stories from Branscombe beach in Devon. Anyway, I explained some that in the introduction which is captured on this video from Walthamstow Folk Club last Sunday. So that's the live version but there's also a recorded track of The Wreckers Prayer with two voices and two guitars.
