Dave Gibb, Kelso Folk Club's guest artist for Valentine's Night, is part
of the big tradition of Scottish songwriters who can alternate humour,
nostalgia and hard-hitting lines while still picking a mean guitar.
Dave hails from the wild reaches beyond the source of the Tweed (where
Robin Laing has fostered a very active Lanarkshire songwriters' circle)
and this is his first gig in Kelso. Because it's Valentine's Night the
folk club will start at 9.00pm giving people who've been out for a meal
a chance to keep civilised hours and still catch the entertainment. The
pub does serve meals, quite reasonable prices and good menu.
The venue is the Cobbles Inn, upstairs room, February 14th 2003, 9.00pm.
Tickets on door B#4/B#3 concessions. There will be supporting local acts
and a raffle as usual, with an informal music session downstairs
afterwards. More info from Pete Gillespie at Pet Sounds music shop,
Woodmarket, Kelso, 01573 225097; or reply to this email; or call the
Cobbles Inn, 01573 223548.
Floor spots welcomed and last month our closing session was pretty good
(greatly aided by Jack Campin's huge bass recorder, et al). First time
we have moved everyone downstairs after concert nights, and I think
we'll do that in future rather than wind up in the half-empty function
room. Our weekly sessions are coming along very well with new musicians
made welcome (and rapidly growing our resident ensemble), every Friday
night apart from concert nights, from 9.30pm.
