oops,


ha ha ha, looking forward to the rest of those lyrics Tyke.

The Friday night Folk Club in Stamps was a most enjoyable occasion - with Hamish, FYRISH, String Theory and Zoe Bottomley, and floorspots from Heather Woodhead, and Steph Shaw and Leon O'Doherty (both Music students at Huddersfield University Centre Barnsley). We were a festival guest short so we extended Gilmore Roberts' spot(again from Barnsley) who covered more than abley!

Dead chuffed as a group of Lads from the Cricket Club stayed all night on the Saturday. It ended up evolving into a folk-club, rather than the session we planned. Padgetts singing was amazing (just before he fell over), and it was great to have Ani and Gerry there too.

Interestingly enough, according to posters in the bar the CC used to have their own song that the captain used to sing at the end of the season - I think they should see if they can find someone who can remember it.
