  • Good line up. Lisa Knapp has a lovely voice, Circulus are as mad as a box of frogs, and Martin Carthy, well, he's Martin Carthy.

    Unfortunately owing to general uselessness in getting going I missed Lisa Knapp and Circulus. I was able to verify that Martin Carthy is indeed Martin Carthy, so all is well with the world.

    Then Leon Rosselson in the evening at The Cellar Upstairs--lovely day.

    Off to see Sam Lee next month, and Stick in the Wheel in November. Very much looking forward to both gigs.

    I saw Sam Lee (& Friends) at Unamplifire in June, the first time I'd seen them, and I thought it was a superb performance.

    I've been avoiding Stick in the Wheel, can't think why now.

  • My band (the embers) played at the after party for Bermondsey Folk Fest at the shortwave cafe. Was a nice little event but I didn't realise Leon Rosselson was playing locally - that wasn't advertised as part of the event, presume it was separate? I saw him at the goose is out in Nunhead earlier this year - always great!

  • Aha. Were you in the main room or in the little side room? You weren't the duo (seemingly meant to be a trio but only two were playing at first) whose guitarist broke a string? I was there very briefly but my friends didn't want to stay and I then had to get up to the Calthorpe (where Leon Rosselson was playing)--not exactly local to Bermondsey, but all of 20 minutes by bike.

    Did you see Leon at the memorial event for Dave Swarbrick? I missed that, I think I was ill.
