Duckpond
House Concert No. 51
Eric Bogle
25
June 2024
After House Concert No. 50 last October Jonni said that he thought that 50
was
a decent number and that he'd had enough There was a certain amount of grumbling
from our friends, but they were very understanding. So, "No more house
cobcerts"
Jonni said. Then, after seven months of no concerts, Eric Bogle contacted
Jonni
saying that he'd had a concert cancelled and would we like to take the date.
How could
we refuse? After all, it was ERIC BOGLE!
We never miss a
chance to have Eric return to the Duckpond,
and, as always, he was accompanied by Pete Tichener..
However, this time
they were joined by Emma Luka,
a splendid fiddle player.
I worried that my lack of presentation
skills may deter people from this fruit loaf,
but knew we'd enjoy it with our morning coffee for however long it lasted.
Not one single piece left! Also recipe requests!
Eric has
always stood when he's played here before but he's not getting any younger
and this time he requested to sit. Luckily, we have a mini stage, given to
us by a friend.
So, Eric was able to sit and also be seen. His voice was as good as ever and
it was
wonderful to have him back at The Duckpond for the fourth time.
