    Nothing short of a miracle in Glasgow can help us to survive!

                                Frankie the Velociraptor addressing the UN in New York, listen up!

    Two Bonn folk clubbers are in Glasgow at the moment for COP 26, John Hay & Nick Nuttall. Now I've been to Glasgow, and miracles don't tend to happen there all too often, so please cross your fingers and press and cross your thumbs collectively in the hope that humanity can survive after all.

    If you're a little confused about COP 26 here is some useful historical background from Nick for you:

    3SongsBonn & John Hurd go for a stealth walk and playing a litlle bit of Blues on the hockey field just outside of Dotty's Bar

     https://3songsbonn.com/2021/10/04/folk-club-118-tales-of-toilet-rolls-and-rabbit-hills/


    Many thanks to John Hurd and everyone else who played and/or pulled together to keep

    Folk Club Bonn not just alive, but thriving, despite COVID-19. 


    You all know who you are!

    Thank you so much, it is very much appreciated indeed!

    It really never has taken very much negativity to actually kill something, be it an animal, a human being, or an idea or a concept. This has been true all through and down the ages ever since mankind once had the "get up and go" to break camp and walk out of Africa and head up north. Who knows why they went up north? Probably when they arrived up north they were some of the first homo sapiens to discover just what it was like to feel like an "immigrant".

    Building something back up again from scratch, often with worn-out tools, and in the face of adversity, is a much more difficult, and often thankless task.

    Thank you all for trying and succeeding to keep this boat, this musical Noah's Arc, on a more or less even keel through the muddy windy waters that we have had to navigate over the last two years.

    Let's all "hope" that the only way is hope, and that it will indeed become better before it ever becomes worse again!

    More photos from last Friday @ FCB # 118  here:


    Thank you, John Hurd, I always knew you were a Blues!

    Nice hat John!

    The Eagle Flies on Fridays

    Dear Folk Clubbers, hold the date! Friday 01.10.21

     (Gates open at 18:30 hrs) 
    American Bob Maribito is on the gate to check your Docs and Devices.
    Music starts at 19:00 hrs prompt until 21:30 hrs 

     FOLK CLUB BONN # 118
    Admission Free

     Outside Dotty's Bar on the hockey pitch 
    c/o BTHV Bonn-Dottendorf 
    Christian-Miesen-Straße 1, 53129 Bonn

     3G COVID-19 rules apply 
    (that means double vaccinated plus 2 weeks, cured or a valid recent negative test certificate)

    Your safety and good health is our concern and priority and of paramount importance and so
    If you are happy wearing a mask, wear one.
    If you have less than 1.5-metre spatial distancing whilst queuing, then definitely wear one!
    Caring for one another is more important than pushing your new "rights" ad infinitum.
    It's always good to chat, especially after long absences, but do keep your distances from one another, but maintain your respect for one another.

     Open-air, and outside

    I've had a word with the Green Man and he assures me it will be slightly cool after dusk, however, it will not rain before 21:30 hrs.  A hockey pitch is basically a field. A well-mown field, but it's still a field, so if you dress accordingly it's fine! Only the weather is sometimes inclement, the necessary clothing for the situation is up to you!
     So DO bring a pullover! but not necessarily your oilskins, although an umbrella might just be prudent for the journey home after Jock Stewart. 

     Hope to see you on Friday! 

     Be good, be happy, and stay safe and love and respect one another! 

    But don't forget even with the Delta-4 variant marching 
    "HOPE" is still even more contagious than COVID-19
    and long may it remain so.

    "Rambling" John Harrison and several other members of the Folk Club Bonn committee and several new and old performers will be there to warmly welcome you to an evening of slightly amplified acoustic folk, blues, and roots music.
