What time is the concert on Saturday night, as I have just noted that my one and only godly football team Aston Villa are on Sky Sports on Saturday evening. They kick off at 5:15pm, so should be over by about 7:00pm.

Will need half an hour to get to TAC Gainsborough.

If the Villa win, then I will be in a great mood and ready for an excellent evenings entertainment.

I think I've just remembered something I really MUST do at about the time that Les will be singing! (Where is that mallet?!)

Sorry Les, only joking, Iknow it's the fallen of Fulstow, not the fallen of Faldingworth!.

See you Saturday for a 7.30pm start.

Hi all...To help you join in with John I've put the lyrics to "Fulstow" on my website. www.markaddison.net
Thanks to John for a fantastic performance. Hope you heard it on Radio Lincolnshire tonight.

Me too! The heaped praise made me blush!

Thanks Mark, I thought the voice was OK, but the guitar sounded nervous and a bit 'electric' - hopefully it sounded more 'acoustic' through the PA on the night? :-)

I intend to put the lyrics on my site also (with proper credit to the author!), plus a sound-clip from the demo (which is infinitely better than the live recording from the finals night - D'oh!).

Well I have the lyrics stored on my PC now, ready to print out in time for GFF. If I arrive at 7:30 it should be dark in the theatre so I can creep in and avoid Deadly Deidre :-)

She is looking after the children SJ. The last time I took them to a concert was at Cassies and they wanted to go home at the interval, so I was not pleased, but had to go.

I asked them if they wanted to go on the Saturday, but they didn't show any enthusiasm.

Well...First night at the Melrose was a great success with many performers of talent and that song that Adrian sung near the end of the evening will go down in the annals of the Club as a special song to commence the Festival.

Festival Folk Club got us off to a roaring start. Nice to meet some new people, hear new songs and laugh at jokes old and new.

Adrian's O'Carolan tune and words (!) were fantastic!.

What a brilliant day yet again. The day culminating in a superb evening concert.
George Papavgeris with his songs about real life...The two Toms with their great songs and excellent harmony.....Flossie with her lovely voice and incredible Darlint'n sense of Umer...and Duncan and the band bringing the evening concert to a great end.
Just can't wait till tomorrow.....

Could Joe or a clone tell me how to put an acute accent on the letter 'e' please?

Strollin try this

to put an acute accent on the letter 'e'

Hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and type one of the following numbers on your Numeric keypad (not the numbers along the top of the keyboard)and then let the Alt key go. Your letter should appear.

é = Alt 130
ë = Alt 137
è = Alt 138

The numbers are ASCII codes

here is a link to the ASCII code table ASCII tables
The dec column is the ASCII number and the red character are what you get. Look at the Extended ASCII codes table at the bottom of that web page.

Hope this works when I post it :-)

Cheers

You should be concerned Breezy, becuase he joined The Duncan McFarlane Band on stage and sang with them. Maybe just maybe he will join them and stay up north :-)

Thank You Gainsbrough.
You ran a Festival to be proud of !
We had a really special weekend thanks to all the hard work you put in.
Probably starting just as last years festival ended.
We have been made to feel a real part of everything and we reckon you are all great people.
The Music was of course superb throughout.
The workshops were all great (Duncan I would rather listen to you play than myself any day)
I have had a guitar lesson from a guy who's splaying I admire very much.
I had a friendly chat with a guy who can carve an image in your heart with his lyrics.
We saw JK's new haircut and the healthiest looking SJ we have seen for ages.
Saw the professionalism of The Caters and heard loads of fantastic new (to us) songs and tunes, performed in great surroundings by people of all sizes shapes and ages.
All performing the music they love and want to share.
This is gonna sound very OTT but we have laughed and cried and all by the power of your music.
So thank you all and can we come next year please?
TA you guys are the tops thank you so very much for all your kindness and hospitality.
Cheers all of you.
Tim And Jen.
The Twanglers.

I take it you were celebrating the success of all that hard work?
Dont forget even the most well practiced and expert of performers may lose their edge after a period of inactivity.
You should have given him more of a warm up period before playing the main gig.
It was a great event mate I hope yopu and all the others in the team are truly pleased with the result and feeling rightly proud of the end result.
