George is going to sing at the Church service on Sunday morning - would that be a good song to ask him to sing?

It would be very good, as long as he does it on Saturday as well :-)

Just turn your computer on Tim and go to this link at 6:30pm every Wednesday or the same to listen to Folkwaves every Monday evening from 7:00pm (2 hours of folk music).

Radio Lincolnshire

On the right hand side of the webpage under
BBC Radio Lincolnshire

Click on "Listen Live"

follow instructions and you should be able to listen to the folk programme.

It may be possible to click on "Listen Again" to catch up on a programme that you missed.

So no excuses from sunny Grimsby :-)

They played some good stuff Tim - Napper and Bliss (somebody please chop Tom Napper's fingers off!), Sensible Shoes (beauty and impeccable harmonies, woo-hoo!), Fer-fer-fer-Flossie Malavialle (absolute perfection in every way, wooooooo-hoo!), and modesty prevents me from telling who the fourth track was by!
See you at Gainsfest.

Aw - bless u Sue. Not sure about chopping them off. I've tried dipping them in honey and superglue, then wrapping elastic bands round, but it doesn't slow him down at all!

Never made it there before because of working night hifts that week.
So realy looking forward to that.
And if I play me cards right there are workshops so I may learn to sing and/or play while we are there.
You never know I might take up some of the bookings I keep getting offered here in town.
