Advertised as "Club Closed for a Private Celebration", what actually happened on 1 November 2024 was a party to celebrate 50 years of Jenny Scott running the Bacca Pipes folk club. Not many folk clubs have survived 50 years, and very few indeed (any?) under the leadership of one person for that entire time. Those who needed to know about the party were, of course, let in on the secret and invited.
Mike Wilson and Damien Barber were invited as guest performers, but on the day Mike had to cancel because he had shingles. Damien gave us an excellent night with two sets rather shorter than usual to allow time for a long break in the middle for extensive nibbles, bottles of fizz, speeches, an amazing cake, a prizegiving and a poem composed for the occasion by Nigel Schofield. We hope to have photos here soon (you may find some on Facebook too.)
Here's the cake:
