No problems Nick and thank you yes it is always nice to see friends especially in Whitby Folk Week. In fact the way you have described the seating arrangements I have doubts that we are talking about the same session. That Jimmy is great bloke I wish I could sing half as well as the man himself and that's when he P****D and forgets the words. I'm not sure he was that pleased having to stay sober to finish that night at the Grove.

His voice certainly cuts through the noisy in a room with its sweetness. Last week when I took someone along to the Abbey I was both pleased and disappointed that Jimmy was on his feet singing, (well it's hard to tell with Jimmy if you can't see the chair), The disappointment was because we had not been able to sit down and settle to hear the start of his song. I blame the woman with large breasts and a Low cut neckline with that the Landlord took his time serving! Took his time! I thought he was trying to sell her double gazing and not pint. The pleasure was listening to the room quieten as his dulcet tones filled the room. Not a bad sound for my friend a new bee to Folk to hear as an introduction to Folk in fact the whole night was lively and positive. I apologise to Jimmy if I have given the impression that he is over fond of the Drink that fact is that I have never noticed him fall off a bar stool yet. Then again as I said it is hard to tell :-)
