Coup de Grass at the Village Hall
POPULAR BLUEGRASS BAND, Coup de Grass, returned to Swaffham Prior on Saturday
19 June for an evening of close harmony vocals, dazzling instrumentals and
spontaneous banter; front man, Keith Pearson, surpassed himself by joking with
a group of Dutch visitors -in Dutch! The evening started with support from the
SPSPs guitar group, Helena Pumfrey on fiddle and Minnie Willmott's lovely
singing (shame about the rhythm section, Minnie!); grateful thanks to Andrew
Noyes for putting together the supporting acts. Coup de Grass was on sparkling
form and greatly appreciated by the capacity audience. Thank you to all who
helped on the evening, and those who moved, erected and dismantled the stage
before and after; we were delighted to raise just over £300.
