17th March 2012 at Exmouth Arms, London NW1.

Cellar Upstairs Folk Club, www.cellarupstairs.org.uk/.

Country: Ireland. Style: Traditional & Contemporary Irish Folk.

Lineup: Ron Kavana (v/g).

Ron Kavana (Ron Kavanagh) is from County Cork. For over thirty years from the late 1970s he lived in London. Just a few months after doing a floorspot at the Cellar when Phil Callery was performing (for photos see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157628414307959/), he was the featured guest. The songs he performed varied from the traditional (several from Cork) through 19th century Irish composers like Thomas Moore and Percy French to contemporary works by Dick Gaughan and himself. After performing the first half of the gig (as he joked) “unaccomplished”, he brought out a guitar for the second. His encore was his own “Midnight on the Water”. Based on a Texas fiddle tune he asked if there was any fiddle player in the audience who would play with him. None volunteered but there was a spine-tingling moment when half way through Caspar Cronk, sitting at the back of the room, starting joining in on musical saw.
