This evening was the 16th birthday party for the Baldock and Letchworth Folk Club and for Alan Hewson’s well known ‘house band’ Tam Lin. A wide variety of friends of the club came together to provide a great evening of music supplemented by a selection of wonderful cakes – real cakes and ale, I’m sure Somerset Maugham would have approved!
We did a couple of short sets. Amongst other great players, Malcolm Hobbs performed some material from his most recent album and, just passing through it seems, nationally known folk artist Si Barron was there to provide four top quality songs.
Tam Lin, well known throughout the local area as an excellent barn and ceilidh dance band, finished the evening off with a short set which resulted in the tables being pushed back and half the audience having a very lively dance!
A great evening all round at an excellent, friendly and welcoming folk club.
Best wishes to the club, to Tam Lin and to the next 16 years of good music.
