Review - Jeff & Elaine Gillett
29/03/24

It certainly was a very Good Friday at the Everyman Folk Club last night with our guests, Jeff & Elaine Gillett. We all enjoyed their wonderful presentation of songs old and new, as well as the fascinating stories accompanying their choice of material. Jeff & Elaine’s joy of sharing songs from their home area of Gloucestershire was infectious. The mixture of serious, familiar, and humorous songs was as perfect as their harmony singing, and the instrumental talents of Jeff on guitar, mandola, Appalachian dulcimer, and concertina were used wisely and sympathetically. A superb evening from this delightful and engaging couple.

Thanks to all our marvellous floor performers for their songs and poems - Matthew Robertson, Sammy Holland (first time performing), John Wright, Shirley Harry, Phil Lyons, and Mary-Jane Tyrell. Well done all.

Bravo to our fabulous audience, for being so welcoming to our guests and visitors, and for making the most of the opportunity to join in with nearly every song! We wish you all a Happy Easter and can’t wait to see – and hear – you all again on Friday 26 April 2024 when our guests Keith Donnelly & Lauren South.
