Combine good humour with Country and Western and throw in some
yodelling too - and what do you get?
Jack Hakin,
that's what, and we love it. More please, Jack. |

It's been a few years since Ellen was
at Ashington. 'Woodstock' and Bob Dylan's 'Sarah' showed what we've
been missing... don't leave it so long next time, OK? |
|
|
By now it was getting late, and we had to limit the last 4 performers
to 1 number each...
Sorry
chaps - we'll try and do better next time. |

Dave
Donohoe
gave us a smashing rendition of 'Where The Wind Blows' - a firm
favourite of ours. Alas the clock prevented us from having more... but
hopefully we'll hear more next time. |

Sporting a new guitar,
Jim Wigfield
sang 'Tsunami', a thought provoking song he'd written about the recent
disaster. |

George Rosenthal
always goes down well. Tonight he treated us to Kieran Halpin's
'Nothing To Show For It All'. |

'Time for some nonsense' quipped
Ben Yeowart
as he launched into a song featuring clothes, and washing, and hanging
on the line, and all manner of things. An excellent end to a great
opening night for 2005! |
|
| 16 acts, 27
songs and tune sets. 2005 is now off to a good start and promises to
continue the improvements we saw in 2004 - more performers, more audience,
more entertainment and friendliness all round... You can be sure of a warm
welcome, some great music and the chance of a good old chinwag at Ashington
Folk Club.
Don't forget...
1. Singers, Musicians & Poets on the 1st Thursday of
every month, and more of the same but with extended Spotlight sets on the
3rd Thursday.
2. Our
second online survey is waiting for
your input. |

Thanks
to audience and performers
for getting 2005 up and running.
See you again soon... |
