Out at The White Horse
On Saturday 4th, Nunc were the Guest Act at the White Horse Mini Folk Festival in Seagrave, Leicestershire. A new venue for us, this was at the kind invitation of Dave and Julia Taylor. It's a nice old pub,in a pretty spot,and the weather was unseasonably warm-or so it seemed. Actually we thought we were to close the evening,but as things turned out, we did our Guest spot-and then the singing in the Round continued up to closing time.
We were very well received and made very welcome. It was a very game effort from the audience gathered upstairs in the loft opposite the main pub.They sang along with all our choruses. The other floor singers covered a most eclectic mix,covering everything from steel guitar blues to poetry. We managed to raise a lot of money for Rainbows, a very good cause,being a Children's charity dealing with early bereavement. A subject close to my heart.
Earlsdon Festival
Earlsdon Festival
Two days later we were out in the open air,making a return visit to Earlsdon Festival. The streets were rammed and we had a good turn out to see the full six piece giving it some welly. Quite a few people turned up to support us,which was nice. Including The Reutts,with Linda aka Linda Dickson whom many of you will recall fondly from the local Folk Scene before the onset of her illness. The oddest moment to be honest,was being asked by security to remove my hat upon re-entering The City Arms. Never been asked to do that in a Wetherspoon's before. Sort it out,Tim! Top marks to Colin Halliwell, Caroline White and Alchemista for a first class job on the sound mixing.
Atherstone Tour Package
On Wednesday the 29th,May we joined in with Bedworth and Atherstone Folk Clubs as part of a Pizza and Folk Night organised by Phil Benson. Other acts on the bill were Finger in The Jar,Pete McPartland, Malc and Gill,David Parr,John & Elaine Meechan and Brian Phillips. We were asked to close the evening,and as we were among friends who knew all the songs,the choruses were returned robustly! Both Flossy and I were struggling with throat problems so there was much hacking and hawking off mike in between verses!
MotoFest Coventry 2019
On Saturday 1st June we were hugely excited to play Broadgate,in the packed centre of Coventry. Surrounded by muscle cars,under the Elephant,opposite the balconies of Las Iguanas,Cosy Club and all the other restaurants in what used to be Cathedral Lanes, other than an earlier Godiva Festival,this was for me the largest crowd I'd yet played to in my home town, We had a great response and got those Balconies singing to "Knocking On Heaven's Door."
