Being Friday the 2nd of May, 2014 ...

A wonderful thing happened … somewhere!

So, what did we do this week at the City Folk Club while some people were somewhere else?
(Come on, you know who you are!)

We welcomed May …


Bluebells they have started to ring - oh!

Paul wished he worked in wood …




There was one execution …


You may forget the singer,
but don't forget this song.

An unplanned competition arose about who could perform the most ancient music.
Roger won by performing a song that Sophocles wrote …


Well, that's what Roger said.



We welcomed Jenny and daughter, Gaelle.
Gaelle successfully reduced the average age of participants.
She put us all to shame by performing a charming song that she had crafted spontaneously within the first hour of proceedings.
Don’t worry, Gaelle, we won’t tell your mother!

Jenny, (welcome back!) sang about a shoreline harvest ...


Cockle Picking, North-Easr Coast, John Falconer Slater, (1857 - 1937.)

Mike sang about some luxurious night attire …


Available on eBay: £16.98 + £3.00 p&p.
(Please note: youthful body not included!)
Nigel introduced us to a lead miner …


Year: 1851 ...

Angela navigated the ocean in a home-made vessel.
Just follow these simple instructions ...






Here's one I made earlier.
It rapidly sank!

Mike offered his own composition about illicit trade in Chichester Harbour …


...up muddy creeks and rolling tide ...




Then we rolled home in near-silence!
