Simple Folk

I wonder, can you resist pressing the button?
...and then I wonder - Are your speakers switched on?

This is the simple folk music that the likes of Antonia, Liz and Jason play when we gather together sometimes, to cheat the cold of winter. We share a simple pork-face pie and then proceed to while away the evening playing the rich and haunting tunes that make this great land of Northumberland...erm...great.

It goes wrong a bit sometimes, but that's nice too. You'll be glad to know that I was not playing on this recording - my role was very much that of sound engineer. I recorded this on my phone, so the quality is not up to much.

Thank you for listening. There's a shiny penny for anyone who can guess who was playing what.

Excellent, Rebecca - part of the game is to associate a person with each instrument as well.

Have fun.

Is there a harpsichord (I still cannit find my spelling book!!) in there??

[Elaine]

Toni on the flute,Jason on the guitar and Liz on the thing that looks like a keyboard with a mouthpiece

I don't think the thing that looks like a keyboard with a mouthpiece is called a harpsichord but I live in hope ......

[Elaine]
