  • 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.

  • Ha, I am the guitarist who broke a string! We were playing with 4 of us (there were two singers) but usually we're 5 - double bass wasn't there.

    No, I missed that as well - I saw him as a standalone gig in March I think? So good. Gutted that I had a ticket for Martin Simpson in a couple of weeks but something has come up meaning I'll have to miss it. Always so good! How was Leon on saturday?
