Not quite sure how but I got 'volunteered' to be the narrator for the first public performance of a new CD entitled 'Lives on the Line' by singer-songwriter Karin Grandal-Park at the Victoria Hall in Settle. It was part of the hugely successful annual Settle Folk Festival. The main catalyst for the event is one of Settle's famous residents, Mike Harding.
The gig (see, I am falling into the jargon) has since been repeated twice and I seem to have got myself a job. Last evening the third such gig was in Saltaire at the home of (coincidentally) long time friends of ours Chris and Nigel Schofield. And a right good do it was too - with a cosy audience of just 22 - plus Karin and three super musicians.
Settle is hugely lucky to have such top class talent of people glad to do sessions at local watering holes for all to enjoy - not least the performers. Here is a video of Mike Harding and Karin Grandal-Park doing their thing at Settle's Golden Lion;
