Faversham Folk Club

2005-02-23

James Keelaghan - leading Canadian singer-songwriter
Jane Clark - fiddle
Hugh McMillan - bass and octave mandolin

So Faversham Folk Club's resident singer-songwriter Lawrence Dean was quite beside himself with the prospect of Canada's "finest singer-songwriter" finally coming to Faversham - and quite rightly - I found the songs intensely interesting, and delivered in a rich warm voice.

Jane Clark has an early CD with a wide range of fiddle styles in it, and this has developed into a very accomplished style, that was exemplified by some excellent accompanying, as well as number of fiddle instrumentals that I particularly enjoyed. Wish I had bought more of her CDs.

Hugh McMillan produced some amazing sounds from his bass guitar, using fascinating techniques, including bell-like chimes and what to me sounded like a didgeridoo, for different songs.

I do not have a sound recording, except for a few video clips, but I was right by a speaker, and on these the sound is overloaded.
Here are a number of photos I took - quite a bit of motion blur in a number of them, but they do give a feel of the gig.

Other than this text, the page has been generated by a program I have just written, so the format is very simple; however hopefully I will be able to use this to get photos onto KentFolk more regularly now.
