Starting the second half we had yet another first time
performer at Ashington Folk Club.
Keith Blackburn sang his
self-penned song 'Green Tweed' and followed this with 'One More Day'.
Maybe he will also return... |

of Peterloo' followed by
a humorous unaccompanied song called 'The Portugese'. |

Yes, Jimmy Towler was up next.
jiva
didn't get to sing, but in his best Geordie accent Jimmy recited his
poem 'Ashington Folk Club - Unsung'. It's about the hard work involved
in running the club and how on warm nights it feels like being in a
sauna!

John (no waffle) Campbell
played some cool blues licks as he sang 'Nobody Knows You When You're
Down And Out' and 'Jazz Woodbine'. |

Ben Yeowart finished the night for us
with two of his own numbers - a new one called 'Going
Nowhere' and 'My Best Friend', which he introduced as 'an honest song'. |

| 14 acts, 23
songs and tune sets and 2 poems - great variety, great entertainment, great
fun. But don't take our word for it, come along and see for yourself...
you're sure of a warm welcome. Singers, Musicians & Poets
nights are held on the 1st Thursday of

3rd Thursday. |
