the time | The
Christmas concert at Kirby Twins Acoustic Club in the packed village hall in Kirby
Bellars, Leicestershire is like a homecoming concert for Govannen. The hall was
full of 100 fans - mostly all local friends. The Govannen sound had been strengthened
by the addition of Neil Rabjohn on cajon drum and a recording was taken by the
band to hear how things sounded. The holiday season added a couple of Christmas
touches, but also gave them the opportunity to play a couple of popular songs,
take some requests, and stretch out a few arrangements of traditional tunes. |
