Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow - 17/10/2019

This was a small gig in The Glass Room at St Georges, my attendance motivated by a notable contribution from Kit Hawes as guitarist in Set Lakeman's band earlier in the year. This was full-on folk gig with just two of them, Kit on acoustic guitar and Aaron on fiddle. The performance was excellent, subtle but passionate. Some of the songs stood out for me, 'John Barleycorn', an original Kit Hawes track written about Norway followed by a mediaeval German tune, a Kit Hawes song 'Crossfire', the encore track featuring lovely fiddle playing in a sort of East European/Middle East genre song. They deserved a bigger audience although those that were there were very appreciative.
