Sunday Sunday

Time to draw breath after the folk club night Friday. What a night that was! It is always a bit of a scramble to get to Blandford with the sound gear by 6.45 and get set up and sound checked by 7.45. We had a busy night Friday with superb guests and an opening set from Andy Stone, who's also our sound engineer. Ric Sanders is the main fiddle player with Fairport Convention and he was appearing with Vo Fletcher, a brilliant singer/songwriter/guitarist, and the devine Catherine Howe. She has started singing again after a break since the late 70's. She had a hit record with her song 'Harry' in 1975, winning an Ivor Novello award for it that year. It has become a minor 'classic' since then. Her voice is still lovely and the sympathetic backing of Ric and Vo enhances her velvet tones.

Ooops - slipped into 'publicity mode' for a bit there LOL I'm used to doing press releases and reviews and can get carried away a bit.
It was a grand night's music! and we had a good crowd in. I think everyone enjoyed the night. I certainly did.
We are off to Bournemouth Folk Club tonight for a friend's CD launch party. It should be a good night as loads of people are going. I will take a coat tonight - I was frozen last time I went. But then it wasn't very full and bodies do warm it up.
It's also warmer out tonight so maybe the club won't be so cold. It's one of those venues that's cold in winter and stifling hot in summer :(
James came over for lunch today as usual. Sausages and mash for one! I had a salmon fillet, steamed, with asparagus and mash. Lovely! I used my steamer with potatoes in water at the bottom, asparagus in middle layer, and salmon sitting on a 'boat' of foil to catch its juices in the top bit, with a lid on top. 10 mins for potatoes, then added asparagus and salmon for last 10 mins steaming. Sausages were in the oven. I cooked enough sausages and mash for 2 meals so James had one lot here and took the other home to freeze, for during the week.
Hope you have a good week. xx
