FOLK ON FOOT FRONT ROOM FESTIVAL II
Well I thoroughly enjoyed the Folk on Foot Front Room Festival II yesterday and think most performances will be available on YouTube. Highlights for me the wonderful Chris Wood in his garden shed, Kathryn Tickell playing a reel down by the river, O’Hooley and Tidow celebrating a factory “hum” dancing with their seven month old son Flynn, Johnny Flynn joined by his children and singing harmony from his sister, (good to see n hear Johnny covering from Hank Williams 'Lost Highway' to Nic Jones), The Unthanks film but got interrupted by the news and by Messrs Cummings and Goin's (sic)
I also enjoyed discovering new folk previously unknown to me in the excellent John Smith who turns out my son Matt and his wife Elaine have seen several times, Richard Thompson and Zara Philips who are old hands at broadcasting from home.
Missed a few and a whole batch over tea time which annoyed me as it was split into sections that didn’t allow for streaming the whole thing somehow so need to catch up with a gang of folk previously unknown to favourites like Eliza Carthy part II and Kate Rusby.
Will try n sort that today!
Still think we raised nearly £70,000 so that’s good!
