Foskett's Folk Factory

Ok Playmates, You have waited long enough and answered so many of my questions in a sensible and veritable fashion. This is a little film my dearest wifey and I made one Saturday afternoon to show off the wonders of our new cardboard television set.

I could say that we created it because I've always wanted to play a harmonica solo on a cheese sandwich - but no - the cheese tends to fall out onto your lap and one ends up blowing bread crumbs all over the place'

A precursor to my debut folk and roots song album 'LATE BLOOMER' - My dearest wifey and I were bored one Saturday afternoon so we made this video - I could s...

In the words of Arthur Askey - 'Hello Playmates' and welcome to the Foskett caterpillar home, the Batman box, the vintage jalopy with rubber lights, the picture frame, the, the, the, and whatever else you so willingly took wild guesses at.
As you can see because of the amount of photographs I took of this thing I was incredibly proud of such a creation at the time of making it - but the story doesn't stop here 🤭🤭🤣😂🤣 What will the next episode hold in store for you all? Ehh? eh?

And here is your next clue boys and goyles - What is it? And where is it going to?

Soooooo heeeeerrrrrre's the next generation of this wonderful specimen!

WHAT IS IT ? Where did it come from ? And, where is it going to ? 🤭🤭

Ok doky - here is your next image - as you can see I've stapled the pieces of wood together to form a frame (of sorts) and cut up a piece of cardboard to fit in the said frame (or not). Now is this keeping you occupied ?

Ok, the last time before the last time I posted a video clip of something I like to think is rather special - it was back in September 2023 - My Foskett band at the Hat Factory - it received 6 measly hits - after that it was last year's photos of our festival gigs up in Northumberland, these received a few more hits.

So then I tried posting a couple of photos of a caterpillar which immediately got everyone's juices going and we got twenty five million hits almost overnight - 'Well blow me over with a feather'!

So I'm now going to post a few photos of a piece of cardboard and some sticks (I've done this before - you'll have forgotten!) and ask you to try and guess what it is going to be ?

My buddy Ralph McTell, myself and my wonderful band created some magic on Sunday evening at the Bear Club in Luton.
Ralph and I have recently recorded a duet entitled 'HERE WE STAND' for my duets album, which features many well known household names from both the UK and America, all wonderfully produced in a folk and roots song framework.
The album 'Foskett and Famous Friends' (only working title) will be the first of what is looking like a multiple albums project -
A music television documentary series is also planned to promote both the album/s and benefit concerts to help in supporting new life saving cancer treatments, both regular and alternative. More about this and the well known artists lining up to make a noise and add their fabulous talents to the project later.
