It is always a pleasure to visit the Baldock and Letchworth Folk, Blues and Roots Club. Over the years we have made some lovely friends there who have always been very appreciative of our music. So, on a warm summer’s night it was great to see so many turn out to see the mighty Bob Fox perform, with us as support.
We arrived nice and early to watch club organisers Alan and Sue Hewson hard at work with Bob on a thorough sound check. The growing hubbub from audience members in the adjacent bar indicated that the turnout was going to be good and when the doors were opened the performance venue filled up very quickly.
Rob and I opted to play acoustically and from the very start it was lovely to see audience members enjoying our material and heartily singing along. This was particularly evident on Navajos & Pirates and Garden of England.
Bob performed a range of material both from his traditional and contemporary repertoire and from the War Horse production that he played such a key role in. With a great voice, great guitar and now, courtesy of his involvement in War Horse, excellent melodeon playing, he put on a very fine show.
It was a real pleasure to chat with Bob at various stages in the evening and we would like to thank him for his kind words on our performance and our song writing. They were much appreciated.
Many thanks to Al and Sue Hewson for the invitation to play again at Baldock and Letchworth and we hope to be back at the club in the not too distant future. Thanks also to our friends at the club for their continuing support and for buying copies of Navajos & Pirates.
