An eclectic mix

It was really great to have Geoff back in the fold for last Friday's Dragon Folk Club session. I know he's had a hard time and it's good to see and hear him again. There was no particular theme and the evening was really marked by an eclectic selection of songs. As usual you can hear most of them in the playlist linked at the bottom of this report. In the meantime I'll mention just a few.

Colin as MC started us off with Lyle Lovett's If I had a boat. This was followed by Cat Stevens'/ Yusuf's Moonshadow from Geoff.

Simon took us to a sillier place with Proper Cup Of Coffee (roud V53398 - RP Weston, Bert Lee). And Colin kept us there with The Prune Song (roud V35166 - Frank Crumit, Harry De Costa).

The only song of the evening not present in the playlist is Colin's The Bos'n, The Gunner And Me (Francis Barron, Henry Trotere). In a previous blog report I linked a recording by Tom Lewis, but that has now been removed from YouTube.

Simon rounded off the evening with Strike the Bell (roud 4190) which was sufficiently rousing and joining-in to be a decent finisher.

Now listen to a selection of songs sung during this session.
