I hadn't seen John Kirkpatrick before and didn't know quite what to expect, thought an evening of squeezebox playing might be boring - how wrong I was. Not only was John an accomplished melodeon, concertina and accordion but an entertaining folk singer and raconteur. Excellent songs about Brunel - even making the Clifton Suspension Bridge sound interesting and 'Bright String of Pearls' which went down well as I suspect a lot of folkies are trainspotters as well :-/
THe song of St George got everyone singing along patriotically, whilst 'Arthur McBride', the anti-recruiting song from Norfolk got me all skeptical again 'The Queen wouldn't scruple to send us to France, where we would be shot in the morning' - so wise!
And a jolly time was had by all ;-D
