Havering Folk Club Open Night

Another Open Night session last night at Havering Folk Club and I played quite late on in the proceedings but refrained from singing in French as I am want to do after a few pints.

Instead I previewed a rediscovered old song of mine for which the chords had been lost but now they are found. The song is called "Now that I'm Living Here" and here is the 1980 version on Last.fm:

Now That I'm Living Here - Andy Roberts or maybe it's just called Living Here

Then there was a repeat of Bob Dylan's 'Mozambique" from the Desire album. Here the video from the previous time I played that one.

Andy Roberts Music - Mozambique by Dylan

Andy Roberts sings Mozambique from Bob Dylan's 1970's Desire album at the Havering Folk club, recorded back last summer and just put up onto youtube by Peter.

Neil Diamond?

I never thought I'd ever play a Neil Diamond song but I'd been enjoying "I'm a believer" recently and decided to look up the second verse. My version owes something to Robert Wyatt but obviously I don't sound anything like him.

The first song I played this week was "Mozambique" from Bob Dylan's 1970s Desire album.

Here's a recording from Splinters when I played Mozambique

A funny thing happened, we met someone whose daughter is playing a leading part in the play we're going to see later this month - Come Dancing musical by Ray Davies of the Kinks
