I was talking to Sean Cannon (of the Dubliners) last night (Thurs. 27th Feb) and he told me that Pat Cooksey is coming to Coventry. A message on the net confirms this and the date is the 13th of March, A thursday. The Venue is The Four Provinces Social Club, Allesley Old Road, Spon End, Coventry. This is just up the road from The Dyer's Arms, a pub famous for its sessions some years ago and where many of Pat's songs (The Sick Note being one) were performed for the first time.
This is the first time Pat will be performing in his old stamping ground for some years and should not be missed for those who are able to get to the venue. Hopefully we will see some "Catters" there.

Pat Cooksey, writer of folk song classics THE SICK NOTE, THE REASON
I LEFT MULLINGAR, and many others, will be in England in March for
the first time in seven years, and will be playing at THE FOUR
PROVINCES SOCIAL CLUB, Allesley Old Road, in Coventry on Thursday
13th March, only a stones throw from the Dyers Arms, where THE SICK NOTE was first performed 33 years ago.
Pat has just finished a totally sold out tour here in Bavaria with
Sean Cannon of the Dubliners, and looks forward to meeting his many
friends in Coventry once again.

Is Pat playing any other dates, Coventry's a bit far from
Newcastle. If this is a one off we'll try and make it.

Just the one official gig this time, although I'm sure there will
be some informal sessions as well.
I spent many happy years playing around Coventry in my early days,
and look forward to meeting old friends from that time again.

Pat.

We saw pat with sean cannon in Augsburg two weeks ago, after the concert they sang for hours longer sitting with the crowd and drinking it was great.

Too far from Cornwall ! From when I lived in the W Midlands I have a very amateur recording of Pat with fiddler Brian Patten at Redditch in I think 1976. Songs include Sunday Papers and one about Amin. Patten was very fond of making train noises on his fiddle in Orange Blossom Special, and I seem to recall Pat's right arm virtually seizing up keeping the steam loco beat going. Wish I could see Pat in Coventry.

Saw Pat perform three times in the four P's and once in the White Lion, Brinklow. This guy is a one off and deserves all the sucess
he has finally enjoyed, the sick note is but a small part of his
repetoire, what a voice.
