More tavern songs, but this time from a man who does sing publicly at times other than when he's in the company of someone who's in need of live music. In a lovely old Smithfield pub called The Hand and Shears, Graham, a softly-spoken folky singer, sang a couple of saucy numbers called The Trombone Song and The German Clockwinder. He sang quietly, but everyone around the busy table stopped talking. Some people at the bar also turned their attention to the singer. "That was a performance," said another of our company, Guy, "because people stopped what they were doing to listen". It was in contrast to a little earlier when someone else a little less gifted than Graham attempted to sing and was roundly ignored (thanks for trying though Dave!).
