A friend(s) organised a house concert which I and about 25 other friends and family attended yesterday. The star was Jeni Hankins, a west Virginia mountain folk singer who the organisers had seen a few times when she was touring the UK. It seems she performs quite a lot at house concerts....a format I'd never attended before, in fact I'd only ever heard of this thing once before when Willy Barrett and John Otway did it years ago for the 1st purchasers of an album. So totally informal.
Another friend did a few songs as the support...
The format is brill, the occasion was brill, the atmosphere was brill, the food was brill, Jeni Hankins was awesome.
Not my usual cup of tea but super entertaining, for all ages, kids included. JH sings of family history from the Appalachians and intersperses the songs with family related stories. She even plays the sewing machine for one number(you had to be there).
a thumbs up recommend for Jeni Hankins.
