www.stocktonfolk.org.ukMany thanks to all at Cramlington Folk Club for a very enjoyable evening. A great set of photos from last night - thank you, Christine.What can I say... not a dry eye in the house for George Welch and Stewart Hardy's performance... for the spontaneous humour and also the beautiful music which comes from such an accomplished pair of musicians.
