   About Last Orders
Joe (melodeon), Mat (guitar), Kev (fiddle) and David (fiddle) met when they were all members of Folkestra, a 17-piece band run by Kathryn Tickell at the Sage Gateshead. After putting together a set of tunes to record on a Folkestra CD, they realised that they loved playing together and decided to enter the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award. Having won this competition in 2007, they have played at some of the country’s major folk festivals including Cambridge and Fairport Convention’s Cropredy festival. They are also establishing themselves as a popular folk club and ceilidh band. Their debut CD ‘Last Orders’ was released in 2007 to critical acclaim. Last Orders: ‘they have a maturity of style that belies their youth - a sound that is greater than the sum of its parts and best of all a joy in sharing their music with others.' John Tams (Award Winning British Folk Artist); ‘an exceptionally mature and accomplished band, and their self-titled debut album is one of the top English folk recordings this year.’ Songlines World Music Magazine (December 2007)

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace -

2 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN

Once drove an old sedan, up north,
From a place in Sydney to Cairns;
Then to Kuranda I went forth,
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market,
With fresh fruits of tropical kind;
Walked to the creek through lush thicket -
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe;
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen,
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey,
You go walkabout with your pen.”

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago,
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

(C) David Franks 2003

Poem 76 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: LAND RIGHTS

If there is a good thing
From the Second World War
It’s that most peoples learnt
To conquer lands no more.

In Africa, Asia,
And the Pacific, too:
Post-war independence -
Steps only bigots rue.

But for some indigenes,
Outnumbered much-too-much,
It has all come too late
For liberty, as such.

So ‘tis in Australia,
And America’s sites,
Where the best now, I think,
Is to respect land rights.

Poem 213 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: MORE AMOR PATRIAE

There is Tai Chi AND there is tennis,
Line is fine BUT so is Morris,
There is curry AND there is the roast,
And, when England is playing host,
It is the rest-of-the-world's good wish
To sense culture that is English.

Poem 14 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: NIGHT OR DAY?

In the far north of Sweden,
A "Land of the Midnight Sun,”
A strange thing chanced upon me -
And I’ll tell you, just for fun.

Got off a train late-morning
(Had to catch same one next day)
And trudged far to the Youth Hostel -
Paying for a one-night stay.

I spent the afternoon sightseeing,
Then, after a latish dinner,
Returned to my own small bedroom -
The comfy bed proving a winner.

For I soon dozed into dreamy sleep -
Waking what was just two hours hence;
But my watch was an analogue,
And night or day I couldn’t sense!

I quickly packed all my things
(My train an hour or thirteen on)
And hurried out the bedroom -
The bright sky a sneaky con.

I wandered down the track a bit -
The Hostel office empty -
Before a smiling helpful local
Did kindly enlighten me.
