BC play at Newport Folk Club...

After a good stretch of time being confined to the studio, we were eager to get out and play live again.  We heard about the Newport Folk Club and so we google-stalked it  - it sounded good, especially the constitution (!), so we went over last Thursday (5th May).  And what a lovely evening we had! 

The venue, Newport Fugitives Athletic Club, is easy to find just off junction 27 of the M4, and is a really good place for a folk club - cosy, warm, big car park, well stocked bar and a very tight acoustic quality to the room.  The people running the club, and the regular punters, were really welcoming - this is particularly nice when you walk in "off the street" as first time visitors. 

We played five songs in total, two of which were new - Mallt-y-Nos (only played once before live - at Rumney Folk Club) and The Banks of Newfoundland. 

It was great to hear others play too: Lawrence, Jan & Ian, Greg, Trevor, Cris and others (sorry, can't remember everyone's names!).  The standard was very good indeed!  We'd like to thank everyone involved for having us - for the warm welcome and the encouragement - and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Cheers, BC
