'The
Flower Of Gloster' was about four youngsters who crew a narrow-boat
from
North Wales to London and their adventures on Britain's inland
waterways.
The tales being a mixture of plotted storylines,
natural history and improvisation.
The plot involved a boatyard
owner from Wales who is unable to deliver a new barge to London
when he breaks his leg in an accident.
So his son takes the
helm and is accompanied by his sister.
They are soon joined
by their young brother and their friend and for 13 weeks they
traverse the waterways of west England, including the Oxford
Canal, passing towns, cities and villages.
To support the evening,
Pete Doonan, who has often sang at the club and appeared at
last year’s Folk Festival, will start the evening off
by singing and playing from his great repertoire of popular
songs. |
