Folk at the Fall - QE Hall Foyer, London

Bill and I took the train to Waterloo and firstly headed past Festival Hall to Covent Garden - yay! I'll make a shopper of Bill yet. There was a food and drink market going on, as well as the usual crafts in the Apple Market, so we tried some crepes and Moroccan savouries before heading off to the Sir John Soanes museum.
This museum was amazing! It was crammed full of bits of carved stone and marble which Sir John (architect of the House of Lords, anongst other things) had collected. There was everything from Roman gods to an Egyptian sarcophagus - and in the midst a bust of Sir John himself - a la Julius Caesar! There were also quite a few Hogarths, in the cellar the famous Rake's Progress. The house itself has been preserved in all its 18th Century glory.
I went shopping for boots in Neal Street on the way back, and Bill went to the concert. Sadly I missed most of Mawkin, an Essex-based fiddle/melodeon/guitar/bass outfit, who were very good. Gog Magog Molly were around in the intervals to entertain us with their modern take on Cambridgeshire molly-dancing. With their bright costumes and silly hats I at first thought they were clowns!
The Devil's Interval were next, but despite their cool name I found them a bit boring. But then a lot of their songs were a capella which isn't my cup of tea. They did a dirty song at the end though ;-)
Last on were Meridian - Richard Jones (piano-accordion/guitar), Anna Tabbush (fiddle/flute/vocals), and Chris Walshaw (pipes/flute/whistles). They did a superb set, playing 'At the break of day/The Glimmering) which was my favourite. Anna's voice was at it's soaring best, and the sound quality was far better than at Bridgnorth. Chris wowed the audience with his French Pipe skills, playing schottiches and other French dance tunes, a few people quietly danced at the back!
