Wow, thanks guys, that's really kind of you...

We had a great weekend, enjoyed playing in our two Saturday slots in the Manor House, and the Green Hut on Sunday.

We ran PA/Sound all weekend, which though hard work, is really rewarding as you get to see all sorts of great acts. All were top notch - Richard Grainger/Chris Parkinson, Landermason, Flossie, Maeve McKinnon, Dave Goulder (lovely bloke), Wendy Arrowsmith, Barbara Helen/Les Cameron, Steve Dawes/Helen Pitt, David Swann, Bob Fortune and all the others, too many to mention...

...I MUST give a very special mention however, to the tireless Phil Drane and Adrian O. We'd never met them before, but they are top people, great performers, and now good friends.... Phil's version of "Red Barn" is a real show stopper...and Adrian in Jack Patch Scarecrow guise had all the kids chasing us shouting "shoe crows..." for best part of the weekend...

It was great to meet all the Mudcatters and...err...I think that Paul and Wendy's dog "Poacher" rather enjoyed meeting our greyhound "Bingo" a little too much !!!

All the best,
Graeme,
Brother Crow.

P.S. Don't forget that Richard Grainger & Chris Parkinson, along with Barbara Helen & Les Cameron are at The Downe Arms, Castleton on Wednesday 28th May (yes, I'll be sound engineering for the night), so if you're in the area...
