A friendly session

Last Friday's Dragon Folk Club session saw four singers meet in our usual venue at The Bridge Inn. Colin being MC and having been the first to arrive started things off with a song which we agreed was a suitable starter or finisher: George Papavgeris' Friends like these.

Rob sang us his own Minstrel of the sea about a musician of his acquaintance. He told us that he has not yet made a video of it, so I won't waste time looking.

Simon's first was Dougie MacLean's Caledonia. Colin later sang another of Dougie's songs: Ready for the storm.

Geoff completed the first circuit of the room with his first performance of Ewan MacColl's Morrissey and the Russian sailor.

Geoff sang the last song of the evening, a version of Seven drunken nights. Sorry for the abbreviated report again. Normal service may be resumed next week.

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