SDFS on tour (well, Adrian anyway!)

Whilst visiting family in South Manchester and holidaying in Whitby recently, Adrian F took the opportunity to visit a couple of sessions and share some Sussex and South Downs songs. Last Friday (3rd January) he turned up at Timperley Folk Club's sixth anniversary bash and joined in their singaround. First up was the West Sussex Drinking Song (all four verses) and later, a heartfelt rendition of Follow Me 'Ome.  The following Tuesday (7th) saw him bob into the Elsinore pub in Whitby where a jam session was underway.  "This is not a singaround" he was told, "you'll have to jump in where there's a gap!"  Accordingly, in between some lovely dance tunes and ballads, Adrian sang a few of our favourites (with support from Jane!): East Sussex Drinking Song, On Sussex Hills, A Smuggler's Song, Turnip Hoer and Sussex By The Sea.  A great time was had by all – we'll be back!
