Howard - re Johnny Famous.

If a well known singer showed up at our singaround, of course we'd want to recognise the fact he may not be in town again for a while and see if we could get them an extra song.

If they arrived late and unannounced however - they'd have to take their chances to a degree with anyone else arriving near the end of Club Night.

It would involve a quick consensus on fitting them in AND ALWAYS with the concent of anyone who had already been lined up to sing soon.

In practice things would work out. But one could imagine a singer rolling up who thought that they were more famous than they are, or had a "superior" attitude which simply generated resentment. Such visitors would be advised to try again next time they're in town - but ring first.

And Snail.....

Best wishes for Saturday's farewell at the Lewes Arms - I'll announce it at our Boxing Day Special Singaround. Your new venue. the Elephant and Castle also has excellent beer I seem to remember!
