| Every Monday night at
the Hope and Anchor in Ulverston a gathering of songwriters from around
South lakeland and Furness would gather to play acoustic versions of tunes wot
they have writ.
There is no set order to the evening and its just a turn up and play a couple of tunes. Every week is different, and it serves to showcase all these songs that might have stayed in drawers. The atmosphere is lively and loose with none of the hallowed silence of a folk club and is often punctuated with banter between the artist and the audience. After 9 months we built up a regular audience who are knowlegeable and sympathetic to all the songwriters that appear. Some come to sing their songs for the first time to a live audience, others come to trail songs before playing them with their band. |
Below are
some tunes from our summer sessions in the garden recorded on our new 8
track digital mobile mobile recording unit.
