The Companions of The Rosy Hours!

 I was going to try to convert my cassette to digital and now there is no need . . . . . . . Frank (KilKelly) posted this on YouTube . . . . great fun, great band, great dancing and we loved these guys! My wife and I took the children with the friends we were staying with to see them at a venue for the Broadstairs Folk Festival and we all whirled around the dance floor and thoroughly enjoyed the band. One of the best live gigs I ever went to!

He also seemed to appreciate my posting there so go and check out his work on YouTube and with all his bands and several incarnations it is well worth the search . . . . .

FRANK KILKELLY : REMEMBER ME

"One from my London days, a band called the Companions of the Rosy Hours, fronted by the late great Robin McKidd. He played cajun fiddle with the Stones once, and we played at Jerry Hall’s 35th birthday party in the Bombay Brasserie. Good times, though I’m not sure we thought that at the time! He used to sing this song, Remember Me, and would dedicate it to absent friends." Frank Kilkelly

Frank Kilkelly - Remember Me  . . . . . .  and we do Frank we do!

My wife and I, when on holiday in Kent, went to the Broadstairs' Folk Festival and saw the wonderful Companions of the Rosy Hours with their great blend of Americana, Cajun and folk reels and turns. I have a wonderful cassette bought that evening and whilst searching for them came across Frank Kilkelly’s Facebook page where he had posted his solo acoutic version of this song and his admiration for his fellow folkie frontman Robin McKidd who we recall singing the lead when we saw them but Frank does a fine job here to see you to the end of the day
