Looking forward to some tom-foolery and a
‘Featuring…’ night
Some excellent nights during March - including our St Patrick’s celebrations and a “Featuring…’ with Sue Woollard and Bob Gibson - have seen us through to Spring in good heart.
April starts off with ‘All Fools’ day which, perhaps appropriately, falls on a Club night! So, bring some humorous songs or a joke or two to add to the occasion.
The following week, 8th, we feature two of our most accomplished STA regulars :
Phil Harrison and Steve Plowright. It should be quite a night with Phil’s excellent guitar playing and choice of traditional and well-written contemporary songs, complementing Steve’s concertina & melodeon playing, and powerful singing of mostly traditional material. Do get along to support them and the Club. Next month we have the excellent John Conolly and Rob Santé as special guests, on May 13th – more later!

Our Irish celebration for St Patrick on 16 March was very well attended with upwards of forty people to enjoy the festivities. Thanks went to John, Steve and Colin for leading on a number of well-known Irish classics and a few more obscure ones, with plenty of joining in of choruses and added instruments. ‘The Jammy Codgers’ brought some suitable songs and tunes (some of the Codgers are pictured on the front at a recent ‘Singers and Performers’ night).
On the 8th we had a second in our series of nights featuring regular performers at the Club – it’s a kind of enhanced ‘singers’

night with the featured artists doing two mini spots of three songs each. Sue Woollard is an experienced performer with a melodious voice and a nice touch on the guitar. She chose to perform songs exclusively by female writers such as Kate Woolf, finishing with the powerful ‘Universal Soldier’ by Buffy St Marie.
Bob Gibson (pictured above) has an equally secure guitar style and a deep voice for

which he chooses suitable material. In his case, his theme was songs that had influenced him over the years. These included Woody Guthrie’s ‘Deportees’ and he also featured the work of Leon Rosselson. He added occasional harmonica to Sue’s work and they finished performing together with some Dylan. A lovely, intimate evening.
