Friday was skiffle night at the Nelson with Mr. Pete "Kiwi" Keegan who maintains he was on TV in the 50's but the only Kiwi I can remember was on top of Annette Mills's piano and did not wear a stetson, anyway a rollicking good night as usual, this is an extremely democratic outfit, which means members of the audience variously get up to sing and join in on percussion, gob-iron etc. - I refrained, but have promised to take Jimmur the jig doll next month. And there was a proper double bass - woooh! not that you would find it in the LSO in that black and white livery. The best thing is the age range in the audience, for a five-minute craze it hasn't lasted badly, possibly even unto the third generation now. Woody Guthrie, Presley, Leadbelly, all still alive and well in our hearts. Where's me Pye Golden Guinea Lonnie Donegan compilation, I'm sure I could manage "Putting on the Style".
