New folk music short story by Rob Hopcott

There is a new folk music short story by Rob Hopcott with a strong romantic theme.

Folk music clubs can often not be the most romantic of places. Very often the musicians play their music and the audience …. talks amongst themselves, often quite loudly.

This new short story by Rob Hopcott, entitled Bagpipe Lover, offers an alternative scenario. After playing his piece, the piper looks across the crowded bar and falls for a glamorous damsel. Unfortunately, said damsel is not distressed and is already surrounded by some hunky men, not to mention her husband.

But all is not lost for our bagpipe playing musician as he discovers in the quiet county lane outside the bar when he leaves for his home.

Bagpipe Lover proves passion rules OK even in the hearts of traditional folk musicians

It’s free and online so why not check out Bagpipe Lover

Wednesday Pub Session at Coach and Horses, Appledore, North Devon, UK

Last night I was at the folk music jam session at the Coach and Horses, Appledore, North Devon, UK and had a great night out.

Looking around for a great country and folk music acoustic singer venue, the Coach and Horses night life at Appledore which is near Bideford, Torrington, Barnstaple, Westward Ho, and East-the-Water in North Devon is well worth checking out.
