Afternoon of folk music for Felpham group

This was due to Andrew Perry who spoke of the history of American Folk Music.

Having brought with him various guitars, the sounds of which were quite distinctive, he supported his talk by playing on them and singing samples of the variety of tunes developed by the many nationalities of America.

A competition for a silk scarf was won by Elizabeth King after a difficult choice from the many attractive entries.

The pleasant afternoon was spoilt by the sad news of the death of longstanding member Eve Landolt after a short illness.

The next meeting is on April 3 when Brian Luxford will speak about 'The Civil War and Chichester'.
