Fort Perch Rock hosted the some of the weekend's events, its an ancient monument - well it's a World War 2 gun emplacement that may be a little bit older, and its a museum of itself too - strange place for:
A Ceilidh - called and accompanied by Arthur Marshall and the Lifeboat band - we missed the first half, but had a good dance in part 2, slightly hampered by the poles keeping the marquee up, but it was a good fling. It was a bit chilly out of the dance area, so being under the warm lights was a bonus.
Anthony John Clarke also played some fine songs, maybe a bit subdued for the middle of a Ceilidh but he is a good song writer and would be worth a second listen sometime.
ps FORT PERCH ROCK was built as a coastal defense battery during the Napoleonic period to protect the Port of Liverpool. It was paid for by Liverpool merchants. - Gill
Session in the cellar:
A lovely warmth and unity filled the room this evening despite the wide mix of musical styles that we experienced, unaccompanied folk, there was cajun, Jerry Lee Lewis' Niece singing Amazing Grace, Alison's blues, John's lilt, Shay's Irish, Mal's lovely reedy voice and many others. We sang on until the landlord threw us out about 2am, of course we all went quietly!
