Well, Tier 1 was great fun while it lasted! A (distanced) crowd of carol singers were even able to let rip in Cowes one evening. Sweets were fired around the room at the the Porter Folk Night’s Christmas meeting. On Christmas Eve a hardy crowd gathered in the garden of the Travellers Joy in Northwood. The Festive Folkies played to a curry- stuffed audience at the Quay Arts ‘Lamplight’ session with all their usual verve. Ably supporting the Festives were debut supergroup ‘The Watch’ and the ever-popular 2nd Time Around, all ably photographed by Bob White.

So now, it’s back to Zoom, Vectis Radio and streaming for the time being. Grateful thanks to Maretta Heap, Richard Hughes, Steve Love, John Hacker and Andy Roberts (pictured below) for providing our regular folk fixes all through most of 2020 and going forward – see Events section. Wishing all you folkies a happy and music-filled New Year!
