I generally go to the Baskie on Wednesday nights to sing in the acoustic session there - the new picture on the sidebar is me singing one of the filk songs I learned when I went to a Filk Convention in Norwich recently. Filk is Science Fiction Folk Music - back in the 1970s, when someone was typing out a convention programme (on a manual typewriter!, to be mimeographed) they meant to type "folk" and missed the key - and it's been "filk" ever since.
So all sorts of music are welcome there - this week we had a lady fiddler who we hope will come again. She mainly plays folk, but was a welcome addition to House of the Rising Sun, which everyone joined in on.
Next week is the 13th anniversary of the session, so we're hoping for a good night. Starts at about 8pm, goes on to 11pm, and we usually finish with Jolene, which is Joe's favourite song.
And when we came out at 11pm last night, there was snow everywhere.
