So #GerryRafferty meant a lot to me -
As a schoolkid & aspiring songwriter in the 70s my heroes were all from US & Canada
Then I heard Gerry (also Alan Hull & @rod_clements) and that changed...
So
1 Over My Head
2 Mary Skeffington
3 Steamboat Row

Thank you @CottFolkFest that’s going to take some beating. A fabulous night with the wonderful @MerryHell_band opening for the sensational @LindisfarneNow A sell out crowd in great voice. I’m feeling a bit hoarse, can we do it again soon please?
Blown away by @MirandaRutter@folkeast this afternoon. Her interpretation of Bird Songs was simply outstanding. Exceptional fiddle playing ably accompanied by Rob Harbron @concertinaRob and Sam Sweeney @sweeneyfiddle.
Standing ovation was well deserved. 👏👏👏
Fabulous set by @GeorgeBoomsma and his band this afternoon. Outstanding performance and great sound. One to look out for. A great start to @FolkEast

What a fantastic night with @LindisfarneNow playing a sublime set @O2AcademyLeic In great form with a host of favourites plus a few unexpected surprises. The Leicester crowd were in fine sing-along voice too. Thank you guys. Come back soon. 👏👏
Fabulous new song by @NigelStonier ‘Wolf Notes’ on repeat most of the morning.

Play the wolf notes in the scale”
