Glad you came out from behind the sofa Tim! You can't hide any more now.
BTW the very talented good looking guy was Paul Young - you missed him doing a 25 minute spot a couple of weeks ago, but he'll be back.
It was a privilege to see and hear Graham and Gill, they are nearly as reticent as Tim and don't come out of Dorset very often. What a pity they still only have one CD available.

Tim, you have now obviously sussed out that you can't believe a word Les says! Either that or your powers of assessment on first meeting are abysmal. Nice meeting you anyway and now being able to put a face to the name. Well done with the performing too. Best wishes, Mike.

Sooz I don't think Tim said "GOOD looking guy" or do you know something we don't? LOL

There will be no holding Tim back anymore :-)

Thanks for the review Tim, much appreciated. The unaccompanied singers were BBP, Paul Lancaster and MoorlyMan (thanks for making such a long trip to grace MRFC). You didn't mention a couple of very nice ladies who supported your introduction namely Mrs Twangyclocker :-) and no other than Rockhen. Almost forgot Gill Redmond's hubby.

That has set the scene now for concerts. First the concert, then the singaround. Is everybody in agreement with that?

Graham & Gill are a class act.
A brilliant way to round off the concert too.
Good to put a face to Twangy.

Was great night Les,I was a bit overwhelmed by the chance to play in such a tallented singaround.
It is great coming along and listening to the variety of performer you manage to get every fortnight mate but to actualy join in with them a bit is amazing.
What a clever way of arranging the order of performance as well.
It was well thought out(multi tasking woman at work) and everyone was ready.
None of the prima donna (HHHHHmmmmm kebab)stuff that you tend to get elsewhere.
I have always loved music of all kind especialy accoustic and "Folk"
But unfortunatly some folk clubs attract an audience that prefers to exclude people rather than to invite them in and encourage them to develop their skills and knowledge.
That is not the case at MRFC,and it is a real pleasure to come along get a freindly smile from Les(as he takes yer money)and be made to feel comfortable and welcome from day one.
I have attended another FC on and of(more off than on) for 30 years same old faces,only about ten or fifteen of them left now,still I think it was exclusivity that a lot of the failing clubs went for and thats unfortunatly a bit of a dead end road isnt it?

A great night. I think the singaround went really well, no one taking ages to get started and it flew by. I thought it was a fair way to organise it, Sooz. Thanks for doing that.
Great to hear so many people and it was varied, too.
I really enjoyed the main act, too. I wish mello-cello could have made it cos she would have enjoyed hearing another cellist.
The format seemed to work really well, Les. It was good to have the singaround at the end and most managed to stay and listen in spite of it being quite late.

Its never the typing fingers or texting thumbs that are affected have you noticed that?
Or did a woman ever say sorry I cant give an opinion on what you ought to do I am feeling a bit ill?
And the scowling muscle is always the last thing to go isnt it.
Even when they can only comunicate by blinking or feebly banging on the ceiling with a stick they can always summon up the strentgh to look disaproving.
But if you need em to do a harmony Kapow!!!
He he I thought she was brave to turn up at all we gave in and stayed home last friday concert.

I have progressed from virtually zero sound to a voice similar to a recording heard underwater of Barry White on a bad day singing with a peg on his nose ... is that progress?! :-)
Stop moaning Twangy...you know you do perfectly brilliantly on your own or with Mrs Twangy...(Hey Missus gotta give u a name of your own BTW! Woman Power and all that...)

Rude gesture to Twangy...yup...my fingers are unaffected by the lurgy....that self-same lurgy that some very kind people (no names mentioned) generously shared!!!!

Tim, your jaded view of folk-clubs suggests you've obviously never been to Gainsborough FC where 'Inclusivity' is our by-word (as well as a made-up word!) :-)
It's relaxed, laid-back, friendly, no-pressure-to-perform-sing-or-play-where-you're-sitting-so-no-scary-stand-up-at-the-front-and-make-a-pillock-of-yourself-stuff, and F**k Me, it's FREE!!
Join us some time mate?

Ok guys I did say a local FC!
I have visited five or six other gatherings and enjoyed them immensley
it just seems to be the odd one that is a disapointment.
Gainsbro hhhhmmm heard of it I think is it in yorkshire?
He he.
I would love to go but I have a slight problem re every other week start work at midnight so trveling any distance is a bit of a pain
I suppose you gonna tell me its on a saturday so I have no excuse not to go?
I will ask Jen if she fancies going over to see you all in your natural environment,is it near the rail staion at all?
would be handy to go by train re getting back and having a few bevvies

Tim,

No, it's nowhere near the station (either of them) which doesn't matter as there are very few trains anyway!.

It's alternate Fridays with Market Rasen.

Tim, local? It's only as far from Grimsby to Gainsborough as it is from Gainsborough to Grimsby, and we manage the latter (and much, much further afield). :-)

Its a very good review. People can see him up at the Whitby week.

He and Gill rate very high from my point of view. I owe it to Mrs Sooz, for making me aware of them.
