I was at the Waterson-Carthy "Frost and Fire" concert last night in Shoreham (a magnificent evening, by the way), and they sang a Christmas song to the tune of what was very nearly "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" - but actually much better.

In lieu of Eliza not being there (baby was actually due day before yesterday (!), Mike Waterson was there - with just a hint of the Lord of Misrule about him. He was suffering from a bad cold and chest infection, bless him, but whatever singing problems affected him more than made up for with his wit and spontaneity. Great night!

By the way, if Eliza doesn't produce by Boxing Day, she will get "produced", according to Mum...
