Thursday night saw us out on the road again. This time it was just up the road from St. Albans to the Cricketers Arms in Redbourne for a singers night. Again, this was a wonderfully welcoming club and when they say singers night, they really mean it. Virtually everybody that showed up for the evening brought an instrument or two and 'did a turn'. It is amazing how much talent there is around. Redbourn is a small place and there was a lot of local talent on show. We had everything from the hammer dulcimer to sprightly elderly ladies, to poetry reading - with hats.
Rob and I did pretty much the same set as in Reading and were pleased to be invited back onto the stage to finish the evening. Usually, I don't drink until I've finished playing - the first folkie to go on a diet through not drinking - so, when we were asked back on, I had had a drop of the black stuff, but it didn't seem to impair anything. We added Willy Taylor to the set to finish with a bit of a bang.
Thanks to Robert Taylor and his son Ryan for coming along and supporting us.
Thankfully it was only a short journey home to find that bowl of Crunchy Nut cornflakes and bed.
