The Black Swan Young Performers Night,
York
![Text Box: Why do you do what you do, I asked?
Why are you so into Scottish tunes?
Why do you go to every session and club to be had?
Why are you so into folk?
Because its Fab!
Fab! – It’s not a joke
They get ever so excited
No wonder – So am I
They are so highly rated
And gifted
We’ll be lifted
By these sisters of tradition
OK, I hear you say
‘They’re not really sisters’
Hey
I’ve got poetic permission!
For the future
These two are the promise
Tomorrow’s vision
Our hope
See
I told you
They’re the Sisters of Folk
And as for being gifted
Just listen to Bill Jones
“Virtuosity”
“Stage presence”
“Have audiences hooked”
“Impressive stuff”
And that was the first time they were booked
I told you they were gifted
Gifted
With the power of command
Magic is the only way I can understand
Their first ever gig
Was with, Catherine Tickell
And Bill Jones came to watch as well
And this
Is their first ever away-gig you know
And who came to see them……
Adrian Spendlow
And Eddie Afleck
And Vin Garbut’s songwriter
Michael Jary [too]
[The Demon Barber]
And Roland in his dotage
Will be able to say
As he looks up at an immense stage,
“I booked them”
“For their first ever gig away”
“They’re Fab”
“So exciting to be here to see……
