WE are FOF!

How many times have you heard sayings like “Strange how things turn out”?

A few months back, Annya and I attended our first concert at the Apex. The band we were to see was Feast of Fiddles and right from the off, they grabbed your senses.. Their music spanned rock, folk and other genres and was crafted superbly to suit fiddle, guitar, sax, clarinet, keyboards and last but no means least, the melodeon.

There were faces in the line-up that were familiar.. One in particular struck a chord with a memory that was well shrouded by time.. Only when Hugh Crabtree, the founder (and “boss” as he is described on the band’s website) introduced a solo spot to be performed by Peter Knight, was the memory bowled forward – Steeleye Span. Then I managed to associate names to other faces in the line-up..

Clearly in it for the love of the music and thrill of playing, this was just a group of friends having a good time. It wasn’t a shock then to learn that some of the members actually have day jobs too. Maybe as geography teachers.
