FOLK CLUB BONN # 128 Friday 07.10.22

 Dear folk club friends,


next Friday, October 7th, there will be another folk club evening. This time we can welcome as a special guest Juhana Iivonen (surname starting with 2 i) from Finland. Juhana's previously planned appearance had to be postponed several times due to the corona restrictions. Now the time has come that we can hear him again after 2018 with his thoughtful and calm songs.

Other musicians have also announced themselves for Friday, including the duo 2Sunny (vocals and guitar), Ry(land) Burhans (US old-time fiddle) as well as Marina Eckhart and Alex Bartunek from Vienna (vocals and guitar) accompanied by Eva Henneken ( violin) from Bonn. It will certainly be another exciting and varied evening.


Below are the most important dates:


Date: Friday October 07, 2022

Start: 7:00 p.m. to probably 10:00 p.m.


Location: Dotty's Sports Bar and Restaurant (public clubhouse of the Bonn Tennis and Hockey Club - BTHV), Christian-Miesen-Straße, 53129 Bonn (Dottendorf)


Covid 19: There are no restrictions, but of course everyone is free to wear a mask. We will ensure that there is plenty of ventilation in the hall throughout the evening.


Furthermore, the “most important thing”: as always, admission is free


If necessary, you will receive further information

Liebe Folk-Club-Freunde,

am kommenden Freitag, den 07. Oktober gibt es wieder einen Folk-Club-Abend. Diesmal dürfen wir als besonderen Gast Juhana Iivonen (Nachname mit 2 i am Anfang) aus Finnland begrüßen. Juhanas schon früher geplanter Auftritt musste wegen der Corona-Beschränkungen mehrmals verschoben werden. Jetzt ist es so weit, dass wir ihn mit seinen nachdenklichen und ruhigen Liedern nach 2018 wieder hören dürfen.

Für Freitag haben sich darüber hinaus weitere Musiker angesagt, darunter das Duo 2Sunny (Gesang und Gitarre), Ry(land) Burhans (US old-time fiddle) sowie Marina Eckhart und Alex Bartunek aus Wien (Gesang und Gitarre) begleitet von Eva Henneken (Geige) aus Bonn. Es wird sicher wieder ein spannender und vielseitiger Abend.


Nachfolgend die wichtigsten Daten:

Datum: 07. Oktober 2022

Beginn: 19.00 Uhr bis voraussichtlich 22.00 Uhr.

Ort: Dotty’s Sports Bar und Restaurant (Öffentliches Vereinshaus des Bonner Tennis- und Hockey-Vereins – BTHV), Christian-Miesen-Straße, 53129 Bonn (Dottendorf)

Covid 19: Es gibt keine Restriktionen, aber es ist natürlich jedem anheimgestellt, eine Maske zu tragen. Wir werden den gesamten Abend über für reichlich Lüftung im Saal sorgen.

Ferner das „Allerwichtigste“: wie immer Eintritt frei

Sabine's Photos from FCB # 126 Special Bonn-Oxford Edition

Following Bonn Folk Club's visit to Oxford in June under the auspices of the 75th anniversay of the Oxford-Bonn Twinning friendship on the 27.08.22 we were able to hold an extraordinary Folk Club Bonn to welcome guests from Oxford.

KLEIN ABER FEIN – FOLK CLUB #127 am Freitag 02.09.22

 



John Hurd from 3SongsBonn was present to confirm that despite everything, Bonn folk club is still quite capable of staging two events within a week of one another, following our late August Bonn-Oxford special event, we also managed the regular first Friday of the month meet just a week later. It was a very wonderful evening with both old young faces with two great sets from Wandering Souls, the duo featuring Lorena Manz and Gerrit Witterhold and also solid performances from FCB veterans Mario Dompke, John Hurd himself and John Hay and also from Hans Ihnen and Christoph Thiebes, as well as new faces from never before seen at the folk club  performers in the guise of Ralf Reifenberg and Katherina Brosch. Keep bringing it on! We have a flat, level-with-the-floor unplugged stage which needs pumping up on the first Friday of the month!

https://3songsbonn.com/2022/09/12/klein-aber-fein-folk-club-127/

To quote John Hurd himself, it was a truly FCB "Liquorice Allsorts" of an evening, where there was always an unknown surprise coming next, but despite, (or because?) of the great variety, they were all good, and it made for a most magnificent evening. 

Slowly, but surely, after the many trials and trubulations of recent years and clearing the many stones that COVID-19 has rolled along our pass ways, Bonn folk club is quietly re-establishing itself as a go-to lighthouse and living bastion of live acoustic music on the first Friday of each month. Thanks to all the performers who continue to weave their altruistic monthly magic to give wings to Bonn folk club.

So many thanks to John Hurd, for capturing some of this special magic which is otherwise very difficult to bottle and successfully canning it for us!





Lorena tossing Gerrit an unexpected "wobbler" - I'm sure Steve Perry and Barry would have both said a "curved ball" here, - by saying to Gerrit, "We haven't practiced this one with me playing the piano, but I am sure I can do it!" AND, lo and behold, she did do it well, and they both did! 
Many thanks to you both!
