Wednesday 8th August 2007

It's been a good week for music but not all of it session based. Being the Summer and the festival season, there's a lot going on.

Firstly a big congratulations to Katie Bradley and Christophe who got married on Saturday. Katie had us do a barn dance as part of the celebrations in the spectacular setting of Littlebourne Barn. The other artists appearing there included many of her Blues friends and a good time was had by all. One of the highlights was Katie singing with her sister Caroline accompanied by Pete Gazey on guitar.

Caroline was here for a few days from Ireland with her man Eugene Lambe and the pair enhanced the Thursday Bear session with some fine tunes. Not letting the opportunity go by, some of us got together on Monday for an absolutely cracking session with Adrian O' singing a couple of his songs, Andy and Annie dancing, Eugene singing Tim O'Riordan's Viagra song and Caroline singing a Joni Mitchel song and lots of good tunes. We're hoping they will come back at Christmas so that we can do it all over again.

Normal session tonight (Anchor at Wingham) and tomorrow (Bear at Faversham). Broadstairs Folk Week starts on Friday.
