It was great to welcome Rob back to last week's Dragon Folk Club session. It was unfortunate we could only muster three more singers, but we had a pretty good time of it.

Colin was back as MC and he started proceedings with Steve Knightley's Cousin Jack.

Through the evening Rob gave us a variety of songs including one he wrote himself. I think I'll list the ones where I found Rob's own videos because I always like to show you the actual singer performing where possible:

• Magic on the wind (Rob Winder)
• Rio Grande (roud 317)
• Crawdad song (roud 4853)
• Old Jack Jones (Adey Shaw)

The only song of the evening you won't find in the playlist linked below is Simon's own song The story of John Twigg about an eccentric character from Alford, Lincolnshire.

It was Simon who finished the evening with When all men sing (Keith Scowcroft, Derek Gifford).

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