The well loved passion and humour of Martin Carthy, Mike Waterson & Chris Parkinson enthused the audience at Hope Church, Weymouth, Dorset for the main act of the Wessex Folk Festival 2009 Saturday evening concert after an entertaining medley of songs from Two Peas, a pair of flighty females with rather menacingly squeaky truncheons (Pat Green and Pauline Clenshaw).Norma Waterson, previously billed for this concert, unfortunately was not very well and was unable to appear at the festival. However, Martin Carthy and Chris Parkinson were joined by Mike Waterson for the concert in Hope Church on Saturday 6 June. It was a wonderful concert and a rare opportunity to see Mike Waterson in Weymouth. We all at Wessex Folk Festival wish Norma a very speedy recovery.
Two Peas, Pat Green and Pauline Clenshaw's special brand of gutsy songs, with humour and heart, are well known on the local Weymouth folk music circuits and both were also heavy involved in the organisation of the Wessex Folk Festival 2009. Doubtless, their cheerful charm contributed greatly to the smooth running of the festival - if not then the mere sight of those squeaky truncheons was bound to maintain order!More memories of the Wessex Folk Festival will be uploaded in the following days :-)
