Latest News...
The Club always welcomes new faces to come and join in ...or just sit back and enjoy the music for that matter, so if you've not been along before then come and join us!!! Also, if you'd like to help in developing the club then drop us a line.
See below for the latest news of forthcoming events and reviews of previous sessions.
Coming up in the next few weeks..
7th March sees the visit of Bob Kirkpatrick from Sunray Folk Club, together with Take Thackray - a treat for Jake's fans. Watch out for other announcements, too.
15th February - Claude wows 'em....
It started with MC Tony Parry's "Hello Lymington". The response was such that he did it again before launching proceedings properly with a Brian Bedford song called "Wings". He quickly made way for Joe Constable and the "Wild Hunt", followed by the Police hit "Message in a Bottle". Henry Campion jumped up complete with Dylan and Harmonica and was then joined by partner, Roni, with whom he sang a couple of lovely songs, ending with Carole King's "You've Got a Friend". Great harmonies!
Claude Bourbon completed the first half with a stunning virtuoso performance on the guitar.
During the break Victor turned up with an extra raffle prize - a copy of his "Moonbeams" CD. After the raffle the second half was launched by Sandy Reid Peters who sang a Neil Young song and accompanied himself on John Scott's guitar. Steve West then used the same instrument on a Buck Owens number he sang; and, having only just turned up, Victor managed to quickly perform Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning".
Southbound then performed a magnificent set of 5 numbers - as always, great songs and harmonies. The evening was finished off by Claude Bourbon who performed a wonderful 40 minute set with some fantastic songs as brilliant guitar work.
It had been a record night with a record crowd and we all went home inspired by the great performances.
A Fantastic Night - February 1st
10 spots, 17 perfomers!
The evening kicked off with with Nicky, with Laura on accordian, singing a Scottish ballad and a Kentucky mountain song. They were followed by Joe Constable singing the "The Wild Hunt", until he broke a string. Gibson guitar, Martin strings, schoolboy error! He would return later to finish his set. New to the club, Martin Tanner sang two songs on his banjo ukelele; "Putting On The Style" and "Good Times Past and Gone". Next up were the ever reliable Southbound who sang three songs including Rodney Crowell's "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues". Following John and Pat were the Rezzonators, all the way from Sway. A welcome return by the bluesmen who sang four songs including a Sleepy John Estes number, known to club members from another of our blues regulars, Mississippi Bob Long.
After our visit to the Deep South, Joe returned , with Sophie van der Meeren on flute, to sing his own composition, ""The Last Day of War" A truly brilliant song, and brilliantly played. Then along came Vicky and Jamie with three wonderful new songs. The last number tentavively entitled "When Pigs Fly" was a particular favourite. To finish the first half, the one and only Victor Chetcuti. He sang two of his own songs, one with Tony Parry on harmonica.
The second half opened with another newcomer to the club. Bob Lowndes from Barton gave us Ryan Adam's "Sweet Carolina" and Lowell George's "Willin' ". Jim Anderson followed on his accordian to give us a masterclass yet again. "Wild Mountain Thyme" got everyone singing and when he played a "Hungarian Rhapsody" the club was temporarily transformed into a Magyar horseman's encampment.
Who could follow that? Well, I'll tell you. Our special guest, Jason Hinchey. He brought all his Limerick charm to the evening and the audience were spellbound as he sang a variety of songs, some his own, in his unique intimacy and passion. His CD, when he ever gets around to it, will be a must have. However, there's nothing like the live acoustic performance, and in many respects that's what this club is all about. I'm off to my cellar to relax with a bottle of Rioja, until next time, love, music and peace to you all.

Lymington Folk Club – January 18th 2012.
Master of Ceremonies, Henry Campion, launched the evening with Dylan’s “It ain’t me Babe” – to much audience participation. After a bit of Al Stewart and a great sealing song of the South Atlantic he introduced Mary Parry who, accompanied by Bob Long, sang a terrific version of the Bessie Smith song, “Electric Chair Blues”. Not to miss out on the services of Mr Long, Tony Parry joined him briefly for a rendition of “Little Red Rooster” with slide guitar and harmonica.
It was good to have Vicky Kimm and Jamie back for three songs including Nic Jones’ Canady-o and a lovely moving song from Jamie’s pen. Henry was joined by Roni for a couple of lovely duets, and they were followed by the return of both members of Southbound who closed the first half in great style (and with a couple of wonderful harmonies). Great to have them back together!
The night’s raffle was expanded by the donation of a bottle of whiskey by Nicki Martin, and....it has to be mentioned.. Vicky won her first raffle prize.
Henry opened the second half with a fabulous shanty and lots of joining in. Jim Anderson then borrowed John Scott’s guitar (yes, guitar) to give us three great songs by Sam Cooke, Dire Straits and Elkie Brooks. Lola’s Gang broke off their rehearsals long enough to perform a couple of numbers before Bob Long took to the stage. Bob, dressed in the zingiest zoot suit, sang a number of songs from his CD “Delta Harvest” featuring songs by Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson and others from the height of the original Delta Blues era.
A big thanks to Henry who put it all together so professionally and to Bob Long and all our performers, and , of course, Steve “the raffle” West.
Next club night is February 1st and our special guest will be Jason Hinchey.
It's 2012 at the folk club...
Our first folk club of 2012 was a great success considering the usual post-festivities slump and the awful weather. Our very own mad professor, Jonathan Klein was MC for the night and introduced Joe Constable as our first performer. He sang a Waterboys number followed by a personal favourite, Del Amitri's "Nothing Ever Happens". Henry Campion followed Joe with "Brooklyn" by Al Stewart and Sting's "Fields of Gold", another favourite.
Flying in from the Deep South, Bob Long sang a couple of country blues on one of his newer guitars, a '61/62 Gibson LG2! Laura Sutherland played a lovely medley of Scottish tunes on her button accordion before our special guests of the evening completed the first half. John Dunkinson, together with PeterStrong and Peter Jones sang several songs as a tribute to our club mentor, the sadly missed Rod Legge.
Henry kicked off the second half with one of my favourite Richard Thompson songs, " Dimming of the Day", recently covered by Alison Krauss, and gave a rousing rendition of Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". Joe followed Henry with a couple of songs including another Waterboys' song 'Killing my Heart' and Led Zepplin's 'Bron y Aur Stomp'. Bob returned with a John Lee Hooker song and a Tommy Johnson number in which he was accompanied brilliantly by Tony Parry on harmonica.
Rod Biggs, he of the Ringwood Folk Club, recited a cautionary tale about getting Christmas presents mixed up, involving a pair of gloves and a ladies undergarment! Then an a capella song about being buried, and to finish the cheerful mood, sang the classic "Parting Glass".
Our final guests of the evening were our MC, John the Bass and Big Ben, collectively known as Dr Finlay's Bass Cooks. They gave us an "electric" performance, literally, of 4 songs - 3 by the professor himself! and Tony was again persuaded to join the group on one of their rare blues numbers.
A great time was had by all. Next time (Jan 18th) our special guest is Bob Long promoting his new CD Delta Harvest. MC will be Henry Campion. Stefan von Rafflemeister
Happy Christmas to all our readers! (Review of December 21st)
It all started brilliantly with the Christy Moore version of “Fairytale of New York” featuring the long awaited return of Joe Constable & Sophie Van Der Meeren. Bob Long again took us to the Delta with his terrific guitar-picking in the company of Big Bill Broonzy and Robert Johnson.
Continuing in his role as MC, Joe introduced Carol Richards and her lovely rendition of a humorous Pam Ayres poem about Christmas turkeys. Jim Anderson was in a fine festive mood with his great accordion playing before newcomers, Pete & Sis from the Wheel singaround, gave us “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”.
With three friends, Nicki Martin formed the “Ladies who Lurch” and they sang a couple of Christmas songs to keyboards accompaniment.
The first half was brought to a close by Pat O’Dea who, despite a cold, sang a couple of great songs before being joined by fellow-Southbounder John Scott for their (almost) trademark, “Walking on the Moon”.
The second half was again kicked off by Joe and Sophie, this time with”Skating Away” by Jethro Tull, featuring Sophie on flute (a first for us!) Armed only with a ukulele Jim Brown gave us “Ukelele Lady” and he was followed by Caroline Ellis from Milford folk club with an a capella song about Christmas and a couple of tunes on her Soprano Sax (another first). Sue Whitlock (also from MFC) read “Silent Night” in such a way that gave the words new meaning. She was followed by Tony Parry, who sang a great rendition of the moving “New Year’s Eve” by Si Kahn. Rod Biggs from Ringwood FC sang another a capella song, also with a Christmas theme.
Bob Long played a couple more numbers (he’d got his mojo working) to herald the arrival on stage of “The Frenzied & the Diligent” who played 4 songs including “The Sheikh of Araby”!
The evening was rounded off by Jonathan Klein and John Gabbay (fresh from his hospital bed). After “Winter Wonderland” they were joined by Steve West (aka Stephan Von Rafflemeister) for Greg Lake’s “I Believe in Father Christmas” – played to wide acclaim. They finished with “White Christmas” with everyone joining in.
A record 21 performers graced the stage and everyone had a great time. New friends were made and old acquaintances were renewed, and we’ll all be back on January 4th to do it all again.
‘Til then – Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
Wednesday 7th December.
Tony Parry was MC for the night and opened with a couple of songs including a new song entitled "Lola's Gang", followed by the long anticipated debut of Lola's Gang. They sang four songs including Richard Thompson's "Withered and Died" and Randy Newman's "Sail Away".
Next up was Pat O'Dea who clearly is being influenced by Victor's stage chat and, unusually, sang two blues infused numbers. Then came the man himself. Victor Chetcuti had time in between his "day in the life of Victor" meanderings to perform three songs including Richard Thompson's "Vincent Black Lightning". Following Victor was a new performer to the club. Olly played two Russian folk song medleys on his accordian, quite amazing as he has only been playing the instrument for a few months!
Bob Long flew in from the Delta to give us three blues numbers, one from Sleepy John Estes, the one accompanied by Tony on harp. Jim Anderson finished the first half with his usual panache on accordian. So many notes, so little time! Rod Biggs gave us a recitation after the break about asking Father Christmas for, well... let's just say a member of the opposite sex, and the second half was given over to our guests Paul Openshaw and Big Al Whittle. They both have a fine line in comedic songs and had the audience in stitches.
Next time at the folk club is our Christmas special. Everyone welome to participate with a seasonal song, story, poem, whatever. Hope to see you then. Stefan von Rafflemeister
Another Smörgåsbord of Talent!
Another fine and varied evening of music ably marshalled by Henry Campion. Special thanks to Sandy Reid-Peters who very kindly supplied the club with a number of raffle prizes. Henry started the evening with John Denver's "Annies Song" followed by Tony Parry and two of his own songs.
Next, Sandy sang Ralph McTell's haunting and beautiful "Maginot Waltz" and Paul Simon's "Me and Julio down by the schoolyard", and Vicky and Jamie sang two of Vicky's songs, one about their much missed houseboat. Bob Long then took us once more to Mississippi with three blues numbers. To end the first half, a four piece Frenzied and Diligent treated us to four songs in their own inimitable fashion. Irving Berlin, newts and cups of tea, it can only be F&D!
After the raffle, Steve West sang Darrell Scott's "Open Door" and a Stanton/Walker standard "Ancient History", which happens to be the title track of the new "Safety In Numbers" CD. They are making a rare live appearance as our guests at the next folk club. Steve was joined by Tony for "Goodnight Irene" followed by Vicky who reprised her "Born In Time".
Victor Chetcuti is fast becoming the south coast's favourite comic bard.... by accident! Given three songs, he only had time for two(!), "Dirty Old Town" and the Bee Gees "To Love Somebody". We were then treated to a masterclass of bodhran playing by Cat Lake followed by Pat O'Dea (or was it Owen Moore?!) singing four songs including "Far Side of Jordan", made famous by the Carter Family.
Finally, Henry completed the evening with Dylan's "Baby Blue", "The Curragh of Kildare" and a rousing "Hey Jude". A packed and much appreciated evening.
Next time, along with S.I.N. we are hoping for the debut of a new "supergroup", dependant on various health issues associated with old age and whether or not rehab has worked. Lastly, Jon Burge has asked me to mention that on Sat 19th November Jon Gomm is playing at the Thomas Tripp. Just check out his website. He's one to watch. (Stefan von Rafflemeister)
Jonathan Calms the Chaos...
It all started with Joe Constable and Sophie van der Meeren who burst upon us so suddenly, starting up-tempo (unusually) and settling into something sad from WW1 (Eric Bogle's 'Green Fields of France'.) Double Sync (Jonathan & John) gave us 3 of Jonathan Klein’s (MC for the night) sublime compositions, reminding us of their jazz influences.
Newcomers Sonny and Danny (surely our youngest performers yet) performed three fabulous contemporary numbers finishing with an excellent Arctic Monkeys cover. Brilliant and widely enjoyed.
Henry Campion took to the stage with a 60’s sampler including a delightful Cat Stevens love-song and concluded with a rousing Blue Suede Shoes..
All the way from sunny and watery Bosham, Clive de Vries gave us a wonderful rendition of James Taylor’s Going to Carolina in my Mind,as well as Life Goes on by Noah & The Whale. He finished with Bare Necessities evoking lots of audience participation. Clive said he was just passing through Lymington; we all hope he’ll pass through again!
After the interval and the raffle….Cat Lake gave another of her Bodhran masterclasses before Bob Long (newly returned from Mississippi gave us a lesson in authentic Delta blues. He was joined by Tony Parry (Harp) and Cat Lake(Bodhran) for the next couple of songs.
The famous Frenzied and Diligent (3 of ‘em this time) played a few numbers and had this audience member spellbound. They were great. As always... .something different. And then – something new… Joe and Sophie joined forces with the Frenzied for the Jesse Fuller number “She's no Good” – just great. Everybody loved it.
A holidaying lady called Sally bravely stepped up to sing an a cappella song, but, sadly her memory failed her after a couple of lines. Brian, from Farmageddon, did better with three of his own songs which went down a storm.
Good friend Victor Checuti closed the evening with a few of his and our favourite songs (I never expected to hear “1952 Vincent Black Lightning” from him) On the last he was joined by Alex Hall (from Milford) who, on borrowed guitar and without knowing the song, provided a superb improvised accompaniment to Victor. Again, we hope Alex will grace our club more in the future!
Our next session will be on November 2nd. So far, Mike Hammond and Vicky Kimm are provisionally booked; if you’d like a spot let us know as soon as possible.

A cornucopia of talent! (21st September Review)
From the moment Jon Ellis opened the 32nd session of Lymington Folk Club I knew we were in for a great evening, despite both Jon’s songs involving war, death and disaster. Henry Campion seemed keen to stay in the same vein, but relented and finished with San Francisco Bay Blues involving much audience participation and a wonderful descant kazoo!!
Ian & Jacky of Light Motive gave us a couple of their fine contemporary renditions followed by Will Attard in fine voice and fine tune! With neither Pat O’Dea or Owen Moore, John Scott soldiered on alone with a couple of great songs, again with the help of the audience.
Coming all the way from Chichester, Dave Warburton narrated a fierce card-game on a Spanish train and a lilting love song by Richard Thompson. Terrific! And then Jim Anderson’s accordion... what can you say? He fills the place with the most fantastic sounds. And during his second song I could smell the Gauloise!
After the break a new duo! Joe Constable and Sophie van der Meeren played two songs, the second of which involved Sophie playing the didgeridoo – a first for the LFC. Luke and Anna from Frenzied etc followed on with a ukulele duet supporting Luke’s voice and other noises!
For the penultimate act of the night Steve West was joined by Dave Broom and Sean Brophy for three great songs including two of Steve’s own.
Finally, Darren and Sally Hodson took the stage together with Gavin Wyatt and proceeded with a masterclass in acoustic music. The audience were in raptures. We listened for 40 minutes – it seemed like 5! It was all over too quickly. (Don't forget to get your hands on Darren's new album "Short Stories & Tall Tales" on iTunes.)
Tony Parry made his debut as MC doing a fantastic job piecing togather a great night. As always the raffle was run by young Steve West. We all had a fantastic time and look forward to the next session on October 5th for which Warwick Slade and Vicky Kimm are already confirmed.

7th September Review
The night saw the clubs first venture into ceildh territory. The whole of the second half was given over to the brilliant Jigfoot, a five piece ensemble with a caller. You had to be there to adequately describe the dancing that took place! (See pic below for an idea!!!)
However, a great time was had by all! Jon Ellis & Nicky Martin shared the MC duties for the night and Jon kicked off the evening with one song sang in French Canadian! Next Henry Campion with two songs, one being a personal favourite, Don McLean’s “Vincent”. Nicky sang an unaccompanied song followed by Steve West with two songs, one his own composition, “The Christchurch Smuggler”. Up next was Sean Brophy who sang three modern acoustic classics including another favourite “Romeo & Juliet”, followed by Southbound who performed two country songs in their usual accomplished style. Bob Long took us once again to the delta with two great blues songs and next saw the welcome return of Robin Somes to the local music scene after an absence of over ten years performing two of his own tunes on guitar. Ian & Richard of Light Motive gave us three numbers before Rod Biggs from Ringwood Folk Club finished the first half with two songs. 21 September special guest is Darren Hodson & Friends, he has a new CD, which is receiving very good reviews. I have one, it is very, very good.

Come & have a Jig!!! (7th September)
The line up for the 7th Sept is taking shape and will involve a slightly revised format as the fantastic Jigfoot will be finishing the evening with a small ceilidh. Even for those not wanting to dance, the band's great upbeat reels and jigs are well worth a listen.
The evening starts at 8.00 and the line-up is looking like this at the moment - Steve West, Joe Constable, Henry Campion, Nicky Martin, Jon Ellis, Sean Brophy, Southbound, Light Motive, Jigfoot. (Jigfoot conducting a small ceilidh from 10.15)

Running out of Superlatives!!! – LFC 17/08/11
I nearly jumped out of my skin as MC Joe Constable leapt onto the stage last night to kick off another evening in his “Boots of Spanish Leather”!
Newcomer Will Attard made his debut with a great Tom Waits song and a very nice one of his own. Lost in town, Mark Harris had to phone for directions to the club. Thank god he made it – he brought two wonderful comic songs and really helped to set the tone for the evening. Tony Parry offered his classic iPhone Song and “The Wind Cries Mary” by Jimi Hendrix.
After a previous visit at which she wowed us with both her ukulele and her beautiful voice, Katy Barlow brought us another couple of pearls, this time accompanying herself on a guitar ...Fabulous!!!
Only half of Southbound was available to us, yet, even recovering from larangytis, John Scott sang a couple of great songsand his usual terrific delivery! The first half of the evening was closed by Bob Long with his cutaway National resonator. Bob slid beautifully through Key to the Highway and into Tampa Red territory. He was joined briefly by Tony Parry on harmonica for his last number.
The second half was opened by the Tallest Man on Earth (well, in Lymington Folk Club) – Joe Constable with his excellent rendition of King of Spain.
Taking time out from The Park fm, Cat Lake brought a lovely American bhodran to give us one of her drum masterclasses! Henry Campion took us back to the 60’s with Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt and John Denver - terrific!
Finally Jason Hinchey took us on a tour of Irish and English folk songs both ancient and modern, and all sung with passion and commitment and Jason’s unique voice. This was a treat beyond our expectations. Wow! Thank you, Jason.
The next session is on the 7th September ...more details to come!!!

Another Superb Night with an Eclectic Mix of Styles...
MC for the night Henry Campion kicked off the evening with a Dylan song and then Tony Parry performed two of his own compositions extolling the virtues (or otherwise) of owning an iPad and a Sat Nav. Very funny. Vicky & Jamie followed with Let's Make Hay and Vicky's Dylan inspired song Left Handed Girl.
Next, a special guest from up north. Liz Thacker from Mansfield sang Black Waters and Saving For Retirement. Steve West and Tony Parry travelled to the delta to perform White Boy Lost in the Blues and then Steve was joined by John & Pat from Southbound to sing Crying Time. Southbound followed with Early Morning Rain, No Regrets and In This Morning of my Life, and the first half was completed by Mike Hammond singing As Time Goes By, Love Henry (with Tony on Harmonica) and Ronnie Lane's Ooh La La.
After the break and raffle, first up Henry with a couple of songs including a Neil Young number and then The Rezzonators all the way from Sway. Former treacle miners Mike and Pete performed three blues songs including the standard Matchbox. Sandy Reid Peters was called in late in the evening to give us two songs including Cocaine and finally our special guest, the lovely Hannah Robinson. Singing mainly her own songs, she transfixed the audience with her sweet voice and easy style. A particular favourite was her rendition of Wade in the Water.
A fantastic night all round. Next week, a young man from the same town as Christy Moore, Jason Hinchey, with an equally beguiling voice. Until then, peace and love.

Running out of Superlatives! (July 20th Session Review)
The 20th July was another variety-packed night at the Lymington Folk Club. Jonathan Klein, MC for the evening, kicked things off with a song he wrote over thirty years ago, before handing over to Henry Campion. Henry gave us a couple of songs , including the Rolling Stones’ Ruby Tuesday, including some background information for those of us who hadn’t read Keith Richards’ autobiography. Henry was joined by Roni Notcutt to transform into Out Of The Blue and perform a powerful rendition of Angel From Montgomery.
Next up was Luke Futcher, better known to this audience as one half of Frenzied And Diligent. Which half, he wasn’t saying, but he performed a couple of great songs in the style which has made the duo one of our most eagerly-awaited visitors. He was followed by Mike Cole on accordion, who treated us to a spirited rendition of Portsmouth.
We were then in for a extra special treat as Katy Barlow performed a couple of quietly spellbinding songs on yukelele - her modesty only surpassed by her stunning vocals. Jim Anderson, another of our popular regulars, treated us to a selection of melodies from around the world (Scotland and Spain, this time, if I recall correctly) on accordion. Chris Pugh, appearing for the first time at the Club, gave us to a pair of his own compositions, and left us wanting more!
All the way from Southampton, three-fifths of Jigfoot (“Jigfoot Lite”) finished off the first half of the evening with a set of tunes performed in a style that (to my ears anyway) seemed to mix traditional folk with gypsy jazz and undertones of baroque. Their compelling sound was given real body by the inclusion of a cello (the first we’ve seen on the LFC stage, I believe) in their line-up.
After the break, the fabulous Southbound performed a couple of songs, including Hobo’s Lullaby (written by Goebel Reeves, made famous by Woody Guthrie and many others), which has been haunting me ever since – I can still hear the steel rails humming. After a short story – another first for the LFC – from Pete Gritton (I’d like to believe it but I can’t), Bob Long treated us to a pair of the old blues songs, which, as always, he performed with the authenticity you can only get with true love and understanding of your material.
Finally, the stage was taken by Al Kendrick and then Paul Openshaw, who, in an extended pair of sets, performed songs to raise awareness of the charity Diabetes UK (see http://www.diabetes.org.uk/). I was delighted that Al performed Cousin Jack (the Show Of Hands song), and Paul demonstrated that folk can still be a living and contemporary form of expression with his song about Sir Fred Goodwin – the only one I’ve heard so far, and very much deserving of a wider audience.
The ever-popular raffle (which is of course the real reason people come to the LFC) raised £70 for Diabetes UK. It was a great night.
Thanks again to Jonathon for a great job fitting everyone in and making the evening flow seamlessly! Also thanks to Nathan Amos for taking some great shots of the night (see our Facebook page.)
The next session is on August 3rd. The should be spots available to those wanting to perform but with the popularity of the club ever-growing please try and let us know via email in advance so that we can guarantee you a place... see you all there!!!

Nialls and Lucas lead a great night!
Most folk clubs are pleased to be able to boast one headline act, so to have two on the same night was a real bonus. And free entry, too!
As MC, Steve West started the evening off and was followed by regular stalwarts, Jon Ellis and Henry Campion. Sandy Reid-Peters gave us an all too rare performance and Vicky Kimm & Jamie performed a new song – despite having only just rushed back from London.
Otis of Dodge Brothers fame gave us a long awaited set, including one of his own songs – and all without his usual shades!
The first half was then completed by a fantastic 35 minute set from Nialls Teague & the Fast Company from Galway. Great songs, great voices and terrific musicians. They went down a complete storm!
After the interval local singer/songwriter Lucas Raye sang songs from his new EP, Solus, plus a couple of requests. Lucas was followed by the long awaited appearance of Sean Brophy who sang a contemporary set culminating with Snow Patrol’s Chasing Cars, during which he was supported by Steve West on guitar.
Bluesman Sugarhand Dave was joined by regular Tony Parry on harmonica, for a terrific set of country blues. Finally, the evening was finished off by good friends John & Pat of Southbound who played a superb closing set plus encore!
Thanks to all who came and made it such a great night. Everyone had a good time and we’re all looking forward to our next session on 20th July. Line-up isn’t yet established, but Paul Openshaw will be coming as part of his tour in support of Diabetes UK.
We’ll see you there!!!

June 15th Review
Henry Campion did anther fine job as MC on 15th June. Jon Ellis started proceedings with one song & then was joined by Jim Insole. Jim then sang with Nikki & another on his own. Joe Constable followed doing a trio of 'jolly' numbers, followed by a self-penned number by Vicky Kimm accompanied by Jamie. Henry Campion was next, and to finish the first half, bluesman Bob Long and harp player Dennis Rigg. After the break & raffle, the fantastic Southbound kicked off the second half, followed by Ged Wilson ...all the way from Bury! Henry returned again with two more songs and Bob and Dennis finished the evening.
The next session is on Wednesday July 6th hopefully see you there!!!

What a Birthday... 18 performers help us celebrate!!!
With Jon Ellis as MC, Tony & Mary Parry kicked off the evening with some Nina Simone and Bessie Smith.
Nikki Martin gave a lovely rendition of North Country Maid and she was followed by the Frenzied & Diligent driving their new harmonium with some panache (and a familiar song or two!) New grouping, Broom, West & Lee took to the stage with some West songs and possibly the last rendition of "Service with a Smile" by Dave Broom. Ian Halliday led his "Light Motive" in a couple of great songs - they're always good value.
Two complete newcomers joined us; David Mansell is a local singer/songwriter and sang his own material, and Alex Brackley gave us a great bit of Dylan. Laura on the accordion made a real impression and she was followed by Joe Constable ably assisted by Cat Lake on Bhoran. Finally, the first half was completed by Bluesy Bob Long who knocked out a couple of great numbers on his 60+ year old Gibson guitar.
Dave Warburton made his second visit to the LFC with a couple of great numbers and Pat O'Dea (half of Southbound) sang just one beautiful song. Sugarhand Dave - cutting a bit of a dash in his new hairstyle - sang a couple of great blues numbers to his new resonator guitar. Victor said he couldn't miss our first birthday and did us proud with his song, "Upside Down & Inside Out". He was followed by another newcomer, Anita who sang one of her own compositions.
Finally, Paul Openshaw gave us a few of his own songs, poignant, funny and incisive by turns. Terrific. It was time to go, but Tony Parry, Steve West and Luke from the Frenzied etc quickly jumped up with an impromptu (well partially planned) rendition of Goodnight Irene and everybody joined in.
It was a great, great night and a terrific close to our first year. May there be many more. Thank you to everybody who was part of it, players and audience both.
The next session is on Wednesday June 15th hopefully see you there!!!

What quality – what variety!
Another spectacular night at the LFC featuring the familiar, the return of some less familiar and some total newcomers.
Good friends, Southbound got the evening off to a great start with a new song or two. Jim Anderson brought his accordion in completely Celtic mood with waltzes, reels and something even faster. Steamer made a welcome return with a lovely tight set of blues numbers (eat your heart out, Eric) and Ian Halliday gave us a couple of great songs before Take Thackray took the stage. There was much giggling and chortling over Isobel and Albert, the Lah-Di-Dah and the Jolly Captain.
In the second set Southbound got us all going with a favourite or two; Sandy Reid-Peters did a lovely Neil Young and John Martin, and David Warburton from Chichester played a couple of great songs the more memorable of which involved the legs of a donkey.
Bob Whitley – who hadn’t been before - then took the stage for a wonderful set of both comic and serious songs that went down a storm with the audience (and his 2-capo system went down a storm with the guitarists).
The evening was finished off with a rousing set from Steve Donnelly (also new to LFC) comprised of traditional songs and own compositions all beautifully sung. We’ll long remember Eddie’s song “from the heart of olde England”!
We are all indebted to Joe Constable who did a fine job as MC ...and good ole Steve West with his raffle.
Next time is 1st June and LFC’s first birthday. On that basis alone it’s bound to be a great night; you’ll have to be there!

Possibly the best night yet...
Only 3 weeks back from India, Jon Ellis stepped into the MC’s shoes at the last minute and did a brilliant job on the busiest night we’ve had.
The evening got under way with local favourites, Krystal, with some or their original songs. Pam Dentith from Weymouth took us all by surprise with such an easy style and beautiful voice.
Paul Openshaw again treated us to his lovely wry songs and the familiar “Mr & Mrs Grumbly Bottom”complete with audience participation. Earnie Petley came from the Foc’sle club in Southampton and gave us a fine impromptu sea shanty.
Luke Futcher – normally part of Frenzied & Diligent – sang a great set to the tune of his homemade ukulele. Sugarhand Dave gave a wonderful slide performance on his National guitar (despite breaking a string whilst tuning) and Southbound finished the first half in great country style “walking on the moon” (quite a few joining in on the choruses, too).
After the now famous raffle and a very short break Steve West played songs from his Safety in Numbers CD, brilliantly supported by guitarist Sean Brophy. Bob Long and Dennis Rigg took the stage for a great blues set - utterly Sonny & Brownie. Finally, Victor Checuti played some songs from his wonderful new CD,’Moonbeams’ helped on various numbers by John and Pat from Southbound and Podge from Krystal. A fantastic night. Thanks everyone for making LFC such a great place to be!
The next session is on May 18th and we already have a fantastic night lined up - Steamer, Vicki Kimm, Take Thackray, Interval, Steve Donnelly, Bob Whitley are already confirmed! Hopefully see you there!!!

A Night to Remember!
Another great night at the Thomas Tripp. MC Jonathan Klein got the evening started with a bit of Don Maclean and an interesting song about a naked woman in a deck chair. Regulars Henry and Tony kept off quite such controversial territory with more Americana and folk (Henry). Laura gave us a quite lovely rendition of El Condor Pasa and Vicky Kimm and Jamie brought us a couple of great original songs. Jim Anderson took us to the new world through Mexico on the Orange Blossom Special to a Wilbury finale. Joe Constable finished the first half with a selection of the obscure and unusual ...as always!
MC Jonathan again launched the second half and he was followed by the bluesy Mr Bob Long who even played the Rooftop Singers’ “Walk Right in” – taking a few of us back to the early 60’s. Terrific. The evening was rounded off by Gavin Wyatt who took us from childhood to the grave, from laughter to tears all in the space of 40 minutes; a set to be remembered.
Thanks to everyone who played tonight. If you weren’t there you missed another great night! Don’t miss the next one on May 4th where Victor Checuti will be playing tracks from his great new album. A few floor spots will be available so let us know in advanced... otherwise come and listen to some great FREE music!!!

Gavin Wyatt - 20th April...
We are VERY pleased to announce that Gavin Wyatt has just confirmed that he'll be doing an extended set for us tomorrow (weds 20th) at the folk club!!! On his previous visits Gavin has captivated the audience with his silky vocals, great playing and soulful lyrics.
As well as Gavin there is sure to be the usual eclectic mix of acoustic mayhem from the regulars! Also it looks like there will be spots for those wanting to perform themselves ...so drop us a line! (Starts around 8.00 at the Tripp.)

Another fabulous night of varied styles...
Again Henry Campion (aka Doc Slim) & Joe Constable (aka Egon Spengler) got the evening off to a great start with some Dylan, some pearls, some Mumford & Sons and The Jam’s “Eton Rifles”.
As always, Jim Anderson’s accordion spirited us all to far off places. Jon Ellis – newly returned from India – gave us a couple of songs, including “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town”.
Newcomer Take Thackeray had the whole place giggling and guffawing with his renditions of songs by the late Jake Thackeray.
Final act in the first half was Lucas Raye who gave us a brilliant set including a fantastic rendition of David Gray’s Babylon and the Bill Withers classic “Ain’t no Sunshine”.
In the second half Southbound once again played beautifully and demonstated some great harmonies and Victor Chetcuti gave us a couple of his fantastic numbers (we’re looking forward to May 4th).
The evening was finished of by Little Abner whose fantastic guitars took us on a journey from the Blue Hills of Kentucky to New Orleans via St Louis. Brilliant! And all acoustic, too.

A Great Night for Seeability….and for LFC!
Joe Constable and Henry Campion got the evening off to a cracking start . Then, Jim Anderson’s accordion took us on a tour of European capitals – as only Jim can!
The Frenzied & Diligent again brought their unique approach along and the first half was beautifully rounded off by John & Pat of Southbound.
Les Wild gave us a great set and was very much appreciated. The evening was finished off with a superb 45 minute set by Nigel Waite, singing songs from his new CD “Once in a While”, ably assisted on a couple of numbers by Les Wild.
The whole evening was in aid of the charity, “Seeability” and in total raised over £168, thanks to a generous and appreciative audience. For more info on this wonderful charity go to - www.seeability.org

February Review ...and Preview!
The February 2nd session was another lovely mix of musical styles headlined by the fantastic Paul Openshaw who delighted the audience with a great mix of humour and great playing. It was also great to see some new faces including singer/songwriter Vicky Kimm with her gorgeously quirky songs.
Wednesday also saw the first tentitive steps by the "House Band" (or maybe "House Banned"?) which was recieved really well. As suggested, it is hoped that the band becomes a vehicle for those wanting to gain confidence in playing onstage and so if you fancy singing and/or playing with us then drop us a line! Also, we are still after a name so any suggestions then let us know (the winner may receive one of Steve's 'special' prizes!!!)

Soooooo Much Talent!!!
Those who made it to this weeks LFC session (20th October) were treated to an unbelievable range of musical talent that Jools Holland would have been proud to present! Nine different artists and nine different equally brilliant styles of acoustic music!
As well as the usual fantastic contributions from our regulars and some welcome new faces we were also lucky enough to have some sets by local (and not so local) professional acts.
Starting things off were the silky country/folk sounds of Southbound which set the tone for a great evening. Finishing off the first set was a stunning return of The Frenzied & the Diligent with there double bass/ ukelele/guitar based tunes. After the break the unique sound of Krystal was followed by the awesome bluesy picking style of Sugarhand Dave. Next we had the hysterical Warick Slade and the return of Southbound bring a fabulous evening to a finish!
A MASSIVE thanks to everyone who came along!!!

Jim Insole (October 6th) - Free Entry!!!
|
Jim Insole (Oct 6th): Jim was a local legend of the folk / blues scene in Lymington from the 1950's until the 90's. Perhaps he still is! Wielding his mandolin like a weapon he was often found singing for his beer in long gone pubs such as the Bugle, the Old English Gentleman and the Londesborough. He was an anchor of at least two skiffle/folk bands and three previous folk clubs in the town - the Black Scorpion, the Dodo and the Phoenix, which closed in 1977.
A generation of impressionable minds were affected for life by Jim's passionate renditions of St.Louis Blues, The Chimes of Freedom, Ring of Fire and a hundred other favourites.
|
|
 |
Still in fine voice, though 'retired' and living in Neath, South Wales, Jim is returning to finish the evening in rousing style and ensure that we keep the flame of live music burning brightly in Lymington!

Well done!!!
Well done to all those who made it to a bright (though VERY chilly on the picking fingers!) inaugural New Forest Festival and performed in the session tent. Particular mention has to go to Jon Ellis who more than proved his green credentials by riding his bike all the way from Southampton ...avec banjo!!!
As well as the various daytime sessions the evening line-up was an awesome array of talent from the flighty fingers of Lee Collinson, to the sublime sounds of Owl in the Sun and the Modern Fighting Vehicles.
Big thanks to Sophie and the rest of the organisers for such a fantastic event that will no doubt flourish for years to come!!!

Simply Brilliant!!!
Wednesday 1st saw our largest turnout yet get treated to a stunning night of live music...
After some fine floor spots by a few of the regulars, the Rezzonators (all the away from 'over the grid'!) played their excellent brand of Blues including a highly amusing number charting the travails of Tiger Woods and other 'luminaries' such as Imelda Marcos!!!
After the break local singer/songwriter Gavin Wyatt played a number of beautiful ballads which certainly highlighted his vocal and lyrical talents. Gavin often plays locally so keep you eyes open to see him again in the near future.
To finish the evening we were spoilt with a mind-blowing display of slide-guitar and picking from the awesome Lee Collisnson. Luckily for those who couldn't make it on the night this was a mere taster of his next performance at the New Forest Festival on September 25th (go to the festival website for more details - www.newforestfestival.com)

Inominata @ the LFC (15th September)
Inominata are one of the area's longest running folk bands. They play and sing a mixture of English, Scottish, Irish and Continental music, broadly in the Celtic tradition.
There will be a nominal charge of £3 on the door to cover the guys expenses. It should be worth every penny!!!
|
|
 |
|
|
Very Special Guests!!!
For those who have come along to club nights already will have been treated to some fanastic established acts playing free for us to help promote the LFC. With this in mind we are pleased to announce some more for the calendar!
|
Lee Collinson (Sept 1st): We are delighted that Lee is making the long trip from sunny Dorking to do an extended floor spot for us to finish the night off for us.
Those who have seen him play before may well have been inclined to chop off the mere-mortal fingers as he bewitches you with his incredible playing style.
Gavin Wyatt (Sept 1st): As if the Lee wasn't enough talent in one room we also have the stunning vocal style of Gavin Wyatt making a welcome return to the club.
Add to this the awsome Blues duo of The Rezzonators and it is sure to be a night not to be missed!
Please remember that there will be a VERY limited amount of floor spots earlier in the evening as the guys generous offer of playing for nothing means that we want to give them a slot worthy of their talents!

Yet ANOTHER Great Night! (4th August)
Wednesday (4th Aug) proved to be another fantastic night with a great mix of music from some of the regulars as well as some VERY welcome new faces.
All the way from Sway we had the welcome return of Mike Shipman and Pete Gabony giving us some awesome blues numbers, from Ringwood Folk Club Rod Biggs entertained us with a mix of tradition song (and not so traditional poetry!) ...and finally we had the fantastic upbeat duo of Penny and Simon (aka Strid) from Bradford (via many places!) They left us the following message...
"Thanks for a great night at the folk club. We will recommend it to anyone we know who will be in the area. Hope you go from strength to strength." Jennie and Simon (AKA Strid)

Another Great Night...
This Wednesday (21st July) was another great night - well attended and around a dozen great performances!
Particular thanks to Jon for not only showing off his penny whistle skills but being a great MC for the night (...great touch with the stickers!!!) Also big thanks to Steve who treated us once more to some great songs and did a sterling job with the raffle once more!
Also worth a mention is a congratulations to Cy (aka the Silver Fox ...aka The Black Bison) for his first ever solo number! Hopefully this will encourage others to play in public for the first time.
The next night is on the 4th August. We would still love to encourage some younger players to come along ...remember any styles of acoustic music welcome!!!
|

Musicians Wanted...
We have had a message from a fiddle player on the island looking to team up with someone for some trad Irish music. See message below...
"A fiddle player living near Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight who has been playing traditional Irish music for around 30 years, (mainly in Brighton but also on visits to Co Clare) would like to come over to Lymington to play in a session if there was anyone else who could play and/or somebody to accompany on guitar (preferably in DADGAD). " Phone Neil on - 01983 761033
We are also very interested in encouraging any younger singers and players to come and join in on our 'open floor' nights. Any acoustic styles very welcome!!!

The Club Launch a Great Success!
The Lymington Folk Club kicked off on the 2nd of June with a bang. 50+ people turned up to support the event and and we had the pleasure of 16 acts to entertain us. There was a lovely mix of styles, ages and abilities and most importantly a welcoming atmosphere!

Thanks again to everyone who made it on the 2nd ...and a big welcome to anyone who wants to come along on the 16th. There should be be some floor spots for people turning up on the night but drop us a line if you fancy playing a song or two for us!
