Guest : Graham Cooper 10 February 2006 | |
|
|
Despite several of the regulars missing due to winter colds, there was a fantastic turn out with faces old and new to hear Graham Cooper - his reputation had gone before him! He had travelled from Portugal where
he now lives spending his time between gigs and teaching at the
international music school in the Algarve. |
|
Graham entertained us with some humorous reminiscences of the Cambridge Folk festival in the 70’s and antics with his old friends Steve Goodman and Harvey Andrews. A varied programme of music was enjoyed throughout the evening including :- January Man, Cats in the Cradle, a hilarious self composed computer song, John Tams' Dancing in the Golden Ballroom, and a moving rendition of Eric Bogle’s Leaving the Land. Graham sang an unaccompanied song which he had written and played an instrumental fiddle tune on his guitar. He has a wonderful guitar technique - good to listen to and a pleasing rapport with the audience. He finished with Whisky Jack and an encore of Early Morning Rain with everyone singing along. It was certainly a memorable evening
enjoyed by all. | |
