enjoyable night in Oakengates Telford last night. Set list the same as Southport last week.
Maart in audience and joined them for some solo electric in "meet on the ledge" which was nice to see! Also Peggy's nephew in the audience too. So some jokes about DIY as he is a lecturer at a local college in this subject. Great to have a chat with the guys after and to get the set list signed!
Maart! Wish I'd been there  It was lovely to see him. Really looking forward to seeing him at cropredy too! |

Last night at Salford Quays Theatre
Sally Barker : An Asset to the Tour..great songs and 'Rising For The Moon' with FC a highlight.
Superb sound from John Gale.
Tour Programme the best yet.
New CD for £10 is fine (7 out of 14 tracks played)
All 5 members on top form..looking forward to Whitby in March.

Hello everyone,
I have managed to attend the Southport & Salford shows and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
On both occasions I have felt the absolute favourite performance was by Sally Barker when she joined the boys for a supreme reading of 'Rising for the Moon'. I also felt it was a mistake not to have her singing 'Who knows.....' as despite Simon's undoubted qualities, his voice just does not suit these emotional lyrics. Sally has performed the song many times since she included a beautiful version on her 1988 album, 'Tango'. Whilst no one has, or will, equal Sandy's tour de force, I feel Sally comes pretty close!
I honestly believe that Sally is such a good 'fit' for the band, if she is available, they should use her in a more prominent role for their future concerts after this current tour concludes. Although she finishes her current stint when the Winter tour ends, I understand that they have already asked her to join them for the Golden Anniversary show at Union Chapel on 27th May next. Wise move methinks!

I hardly dare say this  but I will be brave! Am I alone in not liking Sally Barkers singing? I was actually glad that she did not do "who knows". please someone tell me I am not alone?  |

Not entirely alone, saw Liverpool & Southport, enjoyed her short set both times. Pretty sure she did WKWTTG at Cropredy not so long ago and I wasn't keen (I think it was all the arm gestures ), and wasn't keen on Rising for the Moon on this tour ( I think it was swinging the scarf that did for me ) . So if she'd kept hold of her guitar I might have been quite happy. Nowt as weird as folk...... |

I think she has a fine voice, but I wonder how much she is influenced by her training on The Voice...

I never saw The Voice but she sounds very natural to me. I was slightly sceptical because of The Voiice connection but I was completely won over and of course most of her songs/albums are pre Voice anyway. |

Al, Brij, I'll try not to repeat what I said earlier in this thread but let's not forget that Sally has been a 'folk singer' , solo and as an integral part of the Poozies for over 25 yrs. Her version of Another Train , from the very early 90's ,is a very special version for me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uEocCZALGWgThe Voice was just an opportunity for some publicity. She adapted her repertoire but not her voice. |

I have 'folky' friends who don't like Sandy's voice and there are some folk icons I don't like. C'est la vie. |

Same here. Loads of 'em. But then, I am not a folk music fan, especially if it is defined according to Shirley Collins (who is one of the icons in question). |
