Fiddling around the world at Forest Roots fri, 30th October

Dear Forest Folk

don't forget to put this date in your diary as we will be having a
fiddletastique phenomena on friday, 30th October in the function room
out the back of the Forest Gate Hotel, 105, Godwin Road, Forest Gate,
E7 0LW. Chris Haigh will be performing fiddle music from around the
world ably supported by Andy Tulloch on guitar. Why don't you check
out his extensive website at www.fiddlingaround.co.uk. Chris will also
be selling copies of his recently released 'Fiddle Handbook' which is
a comprehensive anthology ideal for fiddle fanatics or anyone
interested in fiddle music. You can buy it on Amazon where it already
had a 5 star review  but Chris will be selling copies for a great
price of £10 on the night. If you'd like to perform please get in
touch as we still have spaces but they are running out fast

Looking forward to seeing you on what looks to be a great night

stay forever young

ps Forest Voices Adult Community Choir is rehearsing towards a winter
celebration of seasonal songs on 17th December. An event where several
local choirs will be performing. If you'd like to be part of it and
learn to sing seasonal songs in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere then
come along to the Forest Gate Hotel this thursday. Sessions are free
as this event is supported but a Go For It grant from the LB of
Newham

DARnet Andy Roberts - Blog Action Day : When The Waters Rise


Blog Action Day : When The Waters Rise

When The Waters Rise – Blog Action Day

My contribution to Blog Action Day, this year on the topic of climate change, is a song called “When The Waters Rise” here recorded from one of my live Webcasts ( Tuesdays 7.00pm )

When the Waters Rise Lyrics

When the waters rise, when the waters rise,

It’s started to rain, could go on forever
The puddles grow then join together As the waters rise

With energy a change of current
The trickle soon becomes a torrent And the waters rise

We’ll have to move abandon camp,
where once was desert now is damp And the waters rise

The balance kept by plants and sea
has pushed beyond the boundary
The gas surrounds us like a cloak
a million years gone up in smoke

With climate change, a world in motion,
Then the ice caps melt and join the ocean And the waters rise

In the short term we can head for the hills,
In the longer run we’ll all grow gills and the waters rise

The weather warnings made no mark,
Now there’s no time left to build the Ark As the waters rise..

Blue

Blue by Andy Roberts

This is a song called simply "Blue". Let the colours of springtime in the French pyranees brighten up the wet winter days in England.
