Portland Arms, St Albans, June 28th 2009

Rob and I made our small contribution to the St Albans festival on Sunday evening. There was a lot of folk music in the festival – not surprising given the strength of the folk music community in the town. As St Albans citizens, we are probably not as close to the local folk music community as we could or should be, so we were really keen to join old friends like Alison McFarlane, Ross Scrivener from the Barton-le-Clay and Cathy for a pub session.

The pub didn’t get too crowded but we certainly all had a whale of an evening. The very nice part was that there were a few visitors to the pub who obviously hadn’t had much exposure to folk music before and who clearly enjoyed it. Lovely to see everyone again!
