The new and the rare

Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) - a company recently
announced that it hopes to recreate this extinct animal 
Last week's Dragon Folk Club session was fun. There were four singers, which isn't a bad showing by recent standards. It was good to be joined again by Rob.

As predicted on Facebook I haven't had much time to work on the report this week, so it is short, but definitely have a look at the "a selection" link below because there are quite a few songs we haven't heard at the club before, or at least not for a long time. They aren't all exactly folk songs, but some of them are and anyway we are happy to listen to pretty much anything as long as it's acoustic.

Colin started us with a song we had heard at the club from Gary Hopwood. Although Gary has written soem fine songs this one, Muesli, is from the pen of Dave Reader. I've lost track a bit, but I think it's the only one from this week's bunch that I haven't found on YouTube. I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure you won't get the link here to play either.

I'll shoot straight to the closing song and leave you to listen to the rest. Geoff finished the evening with Phil Collins' Another day in paradise.

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