So, for now "Poetry adieu" !
As Mario always reminds you at the end of one of his excellent folk club reviews,
"After the last folk club, is only just before the next folk club!"
Here is a brief reminder of John Hurd's excellent 3SongsBonn review of FCB # 166:

and a wonderful reminder of Ismael de Barcelona y ThomasMonnerjahn playing "Neuwe de Julio" to a raptuous audience, a true declaration of Flamenco meets Jazz, and showing that the secret to any good musical pot pourri is not just speed, but dynamics:

Some rather excellent music which is almost too good for an average folk club, but we are most proud to be very well blessed indeed!
I tackled John Hurd on the camera angle for this video and for the photo below, as both have in the background the Werbebanner / Banner ad of Ismael and Thomas showing a photo of them in Bad Godesberg, which John Hurd took, and which also features on the cover of their live CD, "Live at Brotfabrik Bühne Bonn". He replied that sitting on the floor was the only free seat available in the folk club on this evening and so my assertion about his deliberate positioning in order to require the desired camera angle is both completely coincidental and meaningless.
The next chance you have of seeing and hearing this dynamic duo is at The Harmonie in Bonn in the Frongasse 28-30 in 53121 in BONN-Endenich on Friday 08.05.26 (that's a week after FCB on Friday 01.05.26) and tickets are available at an exclusive collection price of € 26,-- from the Harmonie itself.
Very highly recommended indeed, and we also hope to see you there!
In the meantime, do have a happy Easter, and we hope that you will find all of the hidden eggs!In the meantime have a happy Easter and here's hoping that you find all of the hidden eggs!
