Les, Pip and others - just back from a music and walking raid in Lancaster and Dent - not much ash in evidence up there.

A quick note to say thank you for letting me into your excellent singaround at the Beech on 21st April. What a great night! Sorry about the speed of "Dennis Murphy's" and "John Ryan's" - must have been the influence of the Guinness and the Irish barman on my mandolin... Or perhaps it was some passing gene from my Kildare ancestors!

Anyway, do please pass on my regards to all the regulars at the next singaround - a fine set of people - and I hope to see you all again soon.
