Cheers to everyone at the King Harry last night

Great session - there must have been 30 people present

Couple of questions asked/answered about Saturday last night

No themes as yet for the day - some may develop

Bedfordshire doesn't mean all songs/tunes have to be Bedfordshire orientated

No special guests due - it's any everybody day

I spoke to Rachel the Landlady last night - everything is confirmed for Saturday

There will be a pub tea laid on between 5:30 & 6:00pm

The pub starts doing food from 7:00pm

We can buy food from local take aways and eat on the premises before if anyone fancies some chips from the shop opposite

Although the session is 12 hours - everyone is welcome to come along for as long as they can/schedules allow

The Bull function room has integral toilets in the foyer. Wheelchair access.

The ladies' has a cosy first room, pleasantly furnished with sink and big big mirror. Standing room for chatting/laughing etc. None of the £4 machines they have in the ladies loos in Luton though.

I haven't been in the gents.

Hi John

What track is your mind following John? What inverted question? Maybe I shouldn't ask.

The loos in the Comfort are A OK. The mirrors have that tinge that make you look more tanned and glamourous than true life. That's all I notice 'cos I am always rushing back upstairs to hear more great music.

I am not sure about 19th November yet - it's my last baby's 18th birthday. Thank you very much for the invite.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Cathy

Oh dear. We mustn't lower the tone of this fine thread.

So, next problem. How can I speed-grow a broken nail and cure a sore throat in 14 hours?

Don't say don't sing.

Morning

Mr Breeze - are you being suggestive again?

I would like a CD please - could you bring one if you make it today? I will leave money with someone if I am on a 'moistening and warming' my throat break.

Hi Jo-Jo
It was great to meet you - put a face to a mudcatter and have a laugh.
I did enjoy listening to your songs - great themes and stories that you related so well.

Do keep in touch via the Bull Barton threads - they are informative/jovial places and you will be able to think wistfully back to last Saturday!

Sounds like it went well. I was hoping to come but family matters intervened - had to go and visit an aged relative instead. Maybe next time...

Cheers Scrump

I thought you didn't come because you've got use to Martin Carthy

And your fed up with me singing the Wild Rover

I hope everything's well
