Article, Foggy Furze Folk Club, Friday, 7 October 2011
The Foggy Furze Folk Club went on the second leg of an exchange one Wednesday, up the A19 to the Berkley Tavern in Whitley Bay. What a wonderful evening we all had. We received a wonderful welcome and repaid them with songs and music in abundance. And we got cake too! The star of the evening had to be John Detain on his accordion who, I’m sure, still has them convinced he only speaks French! Our next guests on 11 October 2011 are Hilary Blythe and Bob Hall. They’ve been described as having the hottest boogie woogie piano on the circuit. Bob plays piano and Hilary plays bass. Should be foot stomping. Can’t wait. And it’s only £2
Now the nights are drawing in, one of the most sociable places to be on a Friday is the Cosmopolitan pub on the headland where Barrie Archer waits with a warm welcome at the Headland Folk Club. Get yourself over there tonight, 7 October 2011, where Barrie will be pleased to greet you.
And don’t forget the Nursery Inn. Every Monday evening you’re invited to the Pools Folk and Acoustic Club night. You’ll always be made welcome so why not stay in touch with the folkie goings-on on www.foggyfurzefolk.com or chat to me on kay@foggyfurzefolk.com. It’s only £1 on a singaround over at the FFFC or £2 for our guest nights.
