Thanks Pete- I echo your sentiments. At present Trev can't get the vocal volume so he isn't up for singing yet. If situation persists, I'll get out some of my solo stuff.

Was unable to post yesterday due to technical trouble , but glad the Cat is up and prowling once again. We had a super evening with Nigel Bagge and Eddie Armer. A few more in the audience would have made it even better, but I expect you're alll getting over Chreistmas, New Year, and the ensuing cold snap. Next week we have another guest night when we welcome Paul Cherrington and Pamela Ward to the fox And Hounds. Fran and Geoff have been very good hosts to the club, even paying for the guests, as Phil used to. We are now asking for a contribution towards the cost in the form of a collection, as is the practice at "Traveller's Rest Folk Club" at Twitton.

You are much missed... we didn't go on Monday because of the weather but a few loyal souls tried... see earlier postings. We haven't been much at all, due to Trev not being fit,though we did manage half of the Christmas Party. If you are around on Friday 23rd, Ben is playing at Orpington Friday Folk

Hi all,

Hope everyone is well, and having a good new year! All is well here, had the first of my exams today, so doing a bit of procrastination online before I get back to the books for thursday's exam.

Have found a few little folk clubs etc. in Coventry to play at, and have been asked to do a couple of solo gigs which was very flattering. Also been to see some great gigs at the Red Lion in Brum - Martin Simpson, Vin Garbutt etc.

Hope to catch up with you all soon!

Much love,

Chris

Well, you were both very brave. I spoke to Fran around 6 to say it was too dodgy to venture out, as Trev can't take cold weather,and she confirmed my suspicians... treachorous underfoot and heavy snow. I had a call from Simon, who we hadn't seen since October. He was going to go for it.Let's hope it all clears by next week.

Pete,
      I managed to get there but the roads from RowDow, once you had climbed the hill from Kemsing that was gritted and clear, they were treachorous, like a skating rink all the way with evidence of cars that had obviously been a little too adventurous. There was no body in attendance, in fact if there were two people in the pub at all, that was it. So naturally, I went home. Let`s hope for better conditions next time.

We really enjoyed it. Trev wore himself out joining in the songs. However, it's a start. Sounds as though you had a fantastic second half. Thanks so much to everyone for mucking in and keeping the club running for us. See you Pigs on Friday. See the rest of you next year! 5th Jan.
Have a very merry Christmas, and keep well
Love

Sounds like you had a blindingly good evening. We certainly hope to come next week if Trevor is up to it. Were offered a lift to Blackheath tonight to see Norcsalordie. We said we'd make our own way if we were going, but I think it's too soon yet.At present he's sleeping. We have offer of lift to Fab Club on Sunday which we may go with. Playing it all by ear.

I don't think last week was a fair test - it was very icy, and lanes can be a bit of a problem - I used to live up one of them at a place called Idleigh, and the steeper bits were horrendous. Hence my chickening out.

Right... some raffle takings redeployed into a full page advert in Around Kent Folks. Starts February.

In the meantime, come to the Fox and Hounds on Monday 8th December for the last open session of 2008. Be there!!!

Thanks Pete. Very disappointing report. Think we're going to have to pay for some advertising hard copy in folk mags. Not getting out and about means less publicity spread, though gigs are on several listing sites.

Sorry I chickened out tonight. Set off, got to Farningham, and didn't like the amount of salt on the roads, knowing how wet that lane is, and that it wouldn't be salted. Came home via M&S at Bluewater.

Pete, it was better with a mike, but still not clear. It's tricky, as the sound of your voice is pleasant, breathy but interesting - like a close friend murmuring conversation. Perhaps more concentration on the consonants, which carry the meaning, might help.

Well done Pete. Was that the Fighting Cocks you went to on Wednesday? I had heard of the orange tree, though I assumed it was the one at Ashford. good that you're getting out and about, and spreading the word about f and h. And thanks for keeping this thread going.

No more poems at the moment. BTW, I had a sneaky glance through your word sheet the other week when you left it on the table by me - you really use words skilfully, they are really good, but I find it hard to hear them when you are performing, which is a pity.
