Liz Simcock

Myself and Graham went to see Liz Simcock and her band at Orpington Friday Folk last Friday. This is a lovely little folk club. I am always amazed at the number of quality guest acts this club manages to put on during the course of the year, for such a small club. This is thanks to Sue Tuckey who runs the club herself! There you go, a committee of ONE, so there are no arguments or disagreements. Liz Simcock was her usual faultless self and we enjoyed two outstanding sets. Floor spots came from the unbelievable glam-folk pioneers Tone Deaf Leopard who were augmented with Ian on double bass & Warwick on lead guitar, Liz looked a bit concerned that her band may leave her to pursue a career of fortune & fame! Big Trevor Little also did a solo joiny-in gospel song which was outstanding. My old mate Peter Twiddle gave a cracking couple of numbers as did Ralph Henning. The beer tasted good the company was great - what more could you want on a friday night!
