Just to echo Ian's and Helen's comments... we're really looking forward to this one. It has a special significance for me since I'm the one member of the group who grew up in Hartlepool (to the extent that I ever actually grew up!) and the Pot House figured in my late teenage years!

Charley: You mention the song "Tramps" by Ron Baxter. Ron did indeed write the excellent words for this song but he then gave it to our own Chris Lock who added the tune... the result you know!

The "small world" bit of this is that we have this year added to our repertoire a song which we pinched from you! Who knows... "Mariner's Compass" might well get an outing on Friday!
