I should be there and will try to organise transport for any of the folkmob who wish to come. (May as well fill one car up then the rest can drink the barrel dry)!

Please have a look at the UK: Birthday bash Don T/Kev H/Clive L thread, folks.

The Greyhound in Maidstone is closing at the end of February.

Say no more

I wouldn't mind playing with Fiddlebird (musically speaking of course) and indeed I spent some time last night trying a couple of my things in keys that would be more fiddlefriendly, since she gets a bit umpty at E major and positively irked at F#m and Bbm.

Hoff, if Fiddlebird is going to be there, I am leaving it up to you, to try and persuade her to come along to Gundulf's practices to play for us!!!! I here that you might be up for returning if we can substitute the butter substitute :-) !!!!!

(Address of the new practice venue, is on the BG website - www.bishopgundulfs.co.uk) - shameless plug, I know - but others get awaywith it!!!

Hope you have a great day - Dilligaf and I will be dressed in Civil War Costume and marching the length of The Mall as your event kicks off.

Hope it goes well!!!

Richard, I done the "Lyric Add" thingy to Men Of Kent & Folkestone Murders.
Cant stand the latter, so if ya wanna hear it sung, ya better learn it yeself mate.
I just might be purse-waded ta knock off Men of Kent tho, seein as ow I hails frum Essex :-)
Cant think of a single song from my own county.
All I ever erd in Sowfend durin my yoof was efnic stuff from the visiting Cock-a-knee tribe wot cum dahn ta pinch our winkles.
You know - Neez Up Muvva Brahn - Doin The Lanbeff Walse - Maybe It's Becorse I'm A Lunnoner. Sh*t like that.

Ah, I think I know the one Dead Horse - is she the one with the gap in her front teeth and curly dark hair, quite slim? Incidentally, will you do us some of these Kent anthems?

Naughty40 - I have enquired and Peter the Landlord says he is sure it will be all right.

I have delivered posters to be put in windows so maybe those in the village who professed sad ingorance will get there next time.

I spoke to one young girl who was very the worse for drink while outside having a breath of nicotine, and she said she loved "that sort of thing"
as she was jigging away to her very own beat.
And at least we did have the end with the fire, away from the google-box.

Woohoo!

We can be there. Chris is sending most of his students to Disney Paris the following week so he doesn't have to do a lot of prep on the weekend.

Naughtyforty... remind me by email and I will bring a little kit of beading for your little 'un to play with to keep her occupied and to take home.

I'm pleased to hear that things are sounding much more positive, Richard.

It's likely that we'll be bringing Fiddlebird as well.

The Landlord's grandchildren (I think they were) were all over it during the day yesterday. I will enquire further. I do not know if there is a cut-off time for sprogs.

There is a possibility I might be able to make it. Is it a child friendly pub Richard? I may have to bring the small one if I can make it.

Well I will be there. My work shift finishes on the 24th and I dont go back to work untill the 27th so two and three quarter days to recover after the event.
I pleased the landlord views of the last event have finally come to light and even more pleased that the locals who missed it viewed there dissapointment. You know What is said " if it dont seem to work first time try try again. Bit like you Chain saw at Knockholt last year Richard? Bit like my Mandolin too.

Yowza! How's that for short title and incorporating the UK designation. How many Stokes outside the UK are there anyway?

Anyway, I spoke to Peter the landlord and he tells me that we are in fact welcome, and that people did like it. The Barmaid (well, maybe technically not a maid) tells me she was singing all afternoon and popping down to our end whenever she could. Peter (aka Shuffles) who is not the landlord regretted he missed it. Apparently others have popped in and said "Damn, wish we had known" and in one case "Did anyone do "the 7 Drunken nights" - oh yes I know who they are". So I will do some posters.

Peter the Landlord also says he not only had a hangover and a 4 am bedtime, but also the flu or he would have been more chirpy and he promises some roast tatties in dishes for the singers. I would have pressed him about the other fire as well but he was involved in a drinking contest. Also the pub was officially "shut" except to those who knew the secret knock, having a "private party" and full of cigarette smoke just like in the good old days.

Welcome to Lower Coke. A Leery atmosphere in the bar tonight, like those cowboy films where the hero enters a Mexican cantina, with low light, the men at the bar a barrage of testosterone and stubble, and the occasional woman who is plainly "along for the ride".

So on Sunday the 25th January 2009 we bring civilisation (although more "robust" songs from RuffnReddy are requested) to Lower Coke.

Starting, therefore, about opening time on Sunday the 25th January, continuing until we get fed up or alarmed by the gangsters shuffling in (or maybe people who wish to sing "Bold Robert Emmett" or "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" - people are asking why there is not more Irish music whereupon I start a dangerous political argument) there will be a mixed song session in the Nag's Head, site of one of Hogarth's orgies - ME3 9RD if you have satnav, although that's a bit timewarp for us down here with the webbed feet and the sheep in the family)

Tell you what, Woodsie's video on the other thread of our last session started looking very like the intro to some of the commercial S&M p0rn0 sites on the internet.

Carpark opposite.

Acoustics good.

Heating not so good.

I am not providing overnight cots or chili stew for Monday Breakfast (save by VERY special arrangement). Monday is a working day.

Park your machete kukri kris dirk or shank in the wood of the bar. Saturday night specials can be checked at the door.

The landlord does NOT let his guard dog out to mingle (and his new Staff (or maybe pit bull) pup is the prettiest little baby).


So - who is coming? Rejoin your roots (music) in Lower Coke!
