Virtual #2. Here's Derek Lovell ...

Derek and Roberta occasionally join us from Worcestershire whenever they are staying with a relative in Rustington.
Because of COVID they have not been able to visit this year.

So, Derek has kindly sent us this self-penned song that refers to the wearing of masks!

Well done, Derek. Thank you.

Hope to see you both next year.

Virtual #1: Mick Wills plays Couperin ...

Let us begin with some quality.
Here's Mick with a wonderful melody ...

The City Folk Club goes Virtual

Now we have endured 5 months of silence, and we have decided that The City Folk Club will not be reconvening at our usual venue for the rest of this year.

In the meantime, let's see what we can do in the public domain ...

If you have any videos or recordings of yourself that you feel comfortable to share on this blog, please send them as email attachments to cityfolkclub@gmail.com and I will do my best to post them on this platform.

If your material is simply an audio recording, (mp3 preferred,) please also attach an image, either of yourself or something relevant to the song/music. I will then overlay the audio onto the image for publication.

Please be careful regarding copyright issues ...

• Always credit your source; if it's self-penned, say so!
• If in doubt, annotate the material with the phrase, 'non-commercial; no copyright infringement intended.' 

So, here we go with Berry's generous contribution ...

(Send no money!)

Being the first day of July, 2020 ...

Well, here we are after 100 days of lockdown ...

I suppose things are easing slightly ...

• Some of our kids may return to school.
• We may undertake non-essential shopping.
• We may associate in groups of up 6 people at a distance of 1 meter [plus]. (What value 'plus' may have remains questionable.)
• Shortly our local pubs may reopen, and we may consider booking that much-needed hairdressing appointment.
• We may think about overseas travel to France, Spain or Greece without the necessity to self-isolate for 14 days after return to UK.
• We may attend places of worship, but NO SINGING!

So, I hope you are all Covid-free, and able to occupy your time productively.

I imagine it may well be some months before we can resume our usual weekly activities, (maybe when the faithful are allowed to sing hymns?) so, in the meantime, here's something I prepared earlier ...

Have you any recordings, (audio or video,) that you would like to share in this blog?

If so, please send them as an email attachment to cityfolkclub@gmail.com, but beware copyright infringement.

NOW WASH YOUR HANDS!
