Why Not

Well Wednesday's outing was jam packed with entertainment and we had a packed house with great entertainment from Graham Moss and Sara Louise Aston , Why Not, Kevin o'Byrne, Paul Pullen accompanied by Ben Lumley on lead guitar, and our headline act of George Pornby and other personas accompanied by Steve Bayford on cajon and harmonies. This was John Bell at his best (best? some mistake here surely!). A great night!
Thanks to all for their contributions in the bowler hat.
Here are some snaps from the evening, Words and Photos By Pat Crilly for Four Rivers Folk Club. Plus shameless plug for next evening at the Folk club as we are playing that too. Well Why Not 😘😘
