Song and chat

Last week's Dragon Folk Club session was better populated than the previous one, but still just three singers turned up. It might have been more if it weren't for a COVID-19 infection... all sorted now.

Colin started the evening with the reply to Pat Cooksey's The Sick Note. I'm afraid I haven't managed to find the reply.

There weren't many songs sung through the evening, instead there was plenty of chat on various subjects including health problems, moving house and house surveys.

The singing continued with:

• Mike - Good English Ale (roud 1512)
• Geoff - Good Hearted Woman (Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson)
• Colin - Song of the leaders (Brian Pearson)
• Mike - Twanky-dillo (roud 2409)
• Geoff - The tinkerman's daughter (Michael MacConnell)
• Colin - Kick the cat (Pat McIntyre)

Geoff finished off the evening with The Comical Genious.

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

The report has to be a quick one this week before I hand over to the deputy scribe, and I'm afraid there won't be any YouTube links.

Next week's Dragon Folk Club session could be very thin on the ground, so if you are an occasional or lapsed dragon, I would encourage you to make a special effort to come and support the club; the more of us there are, the happier the landlord is.

This week's session was MCed by Richard who started off with The Lark In The Morn.

Mike said his first song was about a place that could be very cold, at which Colin and Derek suggested, almost in unison, Weston-Super-Mare. An amusing suggestion, but not what Mike intended. He rather gave us a sing-a-long favourite that I don't think he's done for a while: Lish Young Buy-A-Broom (Roud 1865) - the intended location being Kirkby Stephen.
