OK, who else was there? I've got a lousy memory for faces, but I've got a sneaking feeling there were more Mudcatters in Sale tonight than just myself and Alan.

It was a good night; a fine roster of performers and a packed room - there must have been 50 of us there. The setup, for John & anyone else who's curious, was pretty much taking turns around the room; Don decided in what order he was going to call people, but he was pretty scrupulous about giving everyone a fair crack of the whip. Not so much traditional stuff & not so much unaccompanied singing as at the Beech, but a fair amount of both. Cheap beer, too.

I'll definitely be going again, although another time I'll wait for the bus rather than trying to walk to the next stop before it comes - I wound up walking home to Chorlton.
