Two lovely gigs over the Bank Holiday weekend. First Lowestoft Folk Club then Hitchin on Easter Sunday. Thanks to all who came along. I was feeling particularly chipper since my album Friday Night Train Home was compared in a review (in Mardles) to Carole King’s Tapestry… I must admit that although this pleased me no end, I did find it a bit baffling until I realised that it was perhaps due to the fact that one of the tracks on my album is entitled “The Knitting Song”… tapestry, knitting…..
Listening to george Welsh singing last night in Dalbeattie , he mentioned your knitting song. I teach Traditional knitting as a folklorist , and have found references to knitting songs early in 20th century, but have not been able to track them down! Glad you have written one!
