Havering Folk Club
January 12th 2009 14:30
Last year I discovered Havering Folk Club in Romford and quickly became a regular attender and performer there. It's a friendly club with a solid core of people who don;t make a big fuss about any one particular style of music, contemporary or traditional, nor get over competitive about different people's musical talents and abilities.
For me it's great because being a weekly club with ordinary singers nights three times a month, this provides a challenge to me to keep coming up with performable versions of a growing number of songs, both Andy Roberts songs and all sorts of covers.
On top of this, I've also been booked to feature in a member's guest night which will take place on April 1st 2009 at Havering Folk club so I've been thinking recently about how I'm going to put together a set list in two halves.
At present my plan is to dedicate the first set to a rendition of a series of my own songs which were al written at the same time during a short solo trip to Spain in 2003, ending with Gernika. The second set will then be for a few of the less usual covers, such as the Roy Harper's The Same Old Rock , some sing a long folk songs, maybe a couple of requests and ending traditionally with Goodnight Irene.
