Steve and Phil gave yet another superb performance at Norden Farm, and really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Someone called Bill heckled them for being late on stage, but they seemed to know the guy so they took it in good spirit. Apparently they have played more at Norden Farm than anywhere else! It is a good venue though.
They played old favourites like Cousin Jack, Santiago, Widdecombe Fair (they seem to have given up on Phil sneaking up on the audience with his fiddle!) and my favourite at the moment, The Setting/Mary of Dungloe. Steve also tried out a few new tunes, he didn’t mention titles so I’m guessing Dreamers and Lost. He has changed Dreamers so that it makes less sense to me – I thought the boyfriend steals a car and gets beaten up, forcing the couple to stay in Axmouth – but he has changed it so that it was a friend. Why stay then? Lost was about Steve visiting an attic where he finds everything he’s ever lost. Bill liked this – he’s such a hoarder! Roots was played as the encore, it’s a great protest song, a rallying-cry for all us folkies to defend our English culture. Was pretty tired by the time we got back home though, had to go to work early the next day as well...
