And here I thought this was going to be another political joke thread.

Davejones,
Two not so techie tips:

(1) Use your right thumb on the spacebar when appropriate. It improves the readability of the English language immensely.
(2) Only post once.

Sorry, I can't make it, but plane fair from Ithaca, NY to Manchester, U.K. is alittle steep.

P. S. I'm with DaveO, I thought this was going to be a humor thread.

Acoustic Music Clubs seem to be springing up all over. I have one in Elie, Fife called the 19th Acoustic Music Club. Like yours its Folk / Blues based but again anything goes. Our club meets 1st and 3rd Thursdays each month. Next time I am in the area I'll call in.

Hi Dave, welcome to the Mudcat Café, and congratulations on wading through the difficulties of cable TV-internet to post your first thread! :0)

The Bush is now online....

A highly recommended club, with friendly and talented regulars and visitors.

(Do I get the free pint now, Dave?)

Nowt to do with Dubya Bush I hope.

Hello Dave, and welcome to Mudcat. I'd like to visit your club sometime soon. Noreen just sent me a PM to alert me to your post: we'll arrange a time when we can both get there so we can make a nuisance of ourselves singing. Noreen said something about a free pint. If that true I'll come twice! Whose beer is it anyway? Could you post (basic) directions to the pub please? Noreen lives up in t'hills north of Bury, I live in the flatlands of Cheshire (Altrincham).

Cheers,

John

Hi Dave, sorry I won't be able to come as Tuesday is one of the nights I run Wigan Folk Club - and I seem to remember your club when it used to be called Droylsden Folk Club. A very friendly club, with very friendly people and good music. I'll put the details in "Folkal Point" (if you'd like to receive that, PM me with your email address and I'll put you on the mailing list). Welcome to Mudcat, and I'll hope to see you somewhere around soon. Is Droylsden Folk Festival happening again?

There are sufficient Catters in area to invade Daves Club. As long as it is more than two weeks ahead count me in. Cheers GB

Hi Dave,

Sue & I should be able to alternate with Pete Coe's club in Ripponden (his runs first Tuesday in the month I think).

Thanks Noreen,

Well, Dave, I'm allways on the lookout for new audiences to impress, (translates; all the audiences at all the venues I usually visit are probably getting cheesed off with my usual tunes by now) so if you're up for a few fiddly-diddly fiddle tunes, I'll do my utmost to pop along tonight! see ya there!.......Nick P.

DaveJ, have you set off yet? See you about the middle of August? :0) (Not heard that song before- great story!) Beer's not Bass though, but Thwaites's's, and I believe they do a good pint of the black stuff too.

I'm not going to follow Dave's directions... I turn right when leaving junction 23 of the M60 (as will anyone coming from the north) and head towards Manchester, away from Ashton. Follow Droylsden signs, and see you there!

Bother- looks like I'll not be able to make it tonight after all... son's band is playing tonight rather than tomorrow. Another Tuesday perhaps.

Have fun, all.

Hi, Nice to hear that the Bush is still going from strength to strength,had some good nights there and hope to get there again soon. Nice to see youre on line and i recognise a number of names that have responded to your thread. Hello to Joan, sorry I dont go near the Angler any more cause it would have been nice to see and hear you again. perhaps if you manage to get across to the Bush you could post a thread and i'd endeavour to get there although it's not exactly easy at the present.

I thought this was going to be about a club where people gathered to mispronounce words and abuse language... my mistake!

Hi Marion! Lovely to hear from you again. But, as I said earlier in the thread, it's unlikely I'll get to the Bush as it clashes with one of the nights I run in Wigan. And I, too, don't get to the Jolly anywhere near as often as I'd like to these days. The next time (up to now) that I'll be over that side of Manchester will be the Open Door Folk Club Extravaganza in October. Pauline has booked me for the Sunday afternoon (21st). I'd love to see you then if you're there, and indeed any other friends from the area.

Meanwhile, as it's Tuesday, anyone able to get to Droylsden tonight should visit the Bush (and anyone closer to Wigan should visit the Fox & Goose!...)
