Canterbury Folk Music Festival 2007 - Oh Yeah!


We were only there for Saturday night, but it was great fun. This is an empty stage because I didn't want to take photos and distract the performers in such an 'intimate' venue. We arrived about 7ish, and joined in some sing-along sea-shanty type songs with a guy called Alan Whitehead who had a lovely voice, (and has previously performed in Great Yarmouth, according to the programme - what a claim to fame!) Then the main concert had one USA group (including banjo - tho' more gentle than hard-core banjo), one English woman, and two different Kiwi groups. We both agreed that the best performer was Lindon Puffin. He did some of his own stuff and an inspired version of 'Baker Street' with a kazoo. Brilliant! And he's from Lyttleton just round the corner from here, so hope to see him again soon.
