Oakley has had to lance a boil on one of his lugs.

Them Cara lads are playing at Saddleworth Festival next weekend, I trust they have had there innoculations, we don't want them bringing any nasties with them. We know that they have some unusual customs with animals along the south bank of the Humber and we don't want any of that malarky either.
And as for Oakleys strange, not to say demonic, practices I fervently pray the others remember to pack his and harnesses and restraints

One of them Cara lads was born and reared in the middle of Oldham - thus no innoculations necessary.

Oakley has ceased the childish practice of giving his boils pet names.

Well, they play good music, even if Oakley is a bit odd...

Oakley has recently denied insomnia in Preston. I think he was fibbing.

Nowt wrong with our Oakley, he plays lovely violin.

If you don't get to see them over the coming months, I can guarantee fireworks from CARA when they appear at Market Rasen Folk Club as main guests on November the 5th.

Oakley ......... a bit odd ....... that's like saying the Bubonic plague made a few people poorly, or the Great Fire of London singed a house or two

The first bit of music I put on my iPod was by them Cara lads. Wonderful stuff, boils n'all. I may have to move to North Lincolnshire, where the skies are endless and the whelks are huge.

How, oh how, did an honest Oldham lad end up playing in an orchestra so utterly immersed in the flat lands of Lincolnshire, where a quantum leap of imagination results in naming themselves after a potato? It's a Lincolnshire thang, varietal excitement.

well, they could have called themselves Pentland javelin, after the lancing needle. But whatever, they are very well worth seeing.

But wait, read it again!

I hope that lovely looking man, Mike Ryan, is playing.Oakley has had to lance a boil on one of his lugs.

Why on earth did Oakley lance one of Mike Ryan's lugs?

Whose boil was it? Do they share boils?

Ah the mind boggles!

It is a little-known fact that them Cara lads are recording a third CD in the summer, having engaged in continental communications to confirm the necessary arrangements.

I hope that lovely looking man Mike Ryan sings some songs on it.

I am advised that the word 'varietal' has currency amongst the agrarians.

Pity it wasn't going to be ready for ripe picking for the Lincolnshire Cd for Radio Lincolnshire - we will just have to stick with Abbeyfeale. :-)

Les, I fear you might be labouring under certain misapprehensions concerning Abbeyfeale. Despite mischievous sleeve notes to the contrary, it was written by jOhn from hull during his 'miserable period' who was attempting the quintessential 'right miserable fooking tune'. Then those masters of light entertainment got hold of it and rather mangled it into the shape that the world now believes to be the original and best.

I seriously put it to you that any afficionado wishing to peel back the layers of this hijacking should purchase the CD of 'Asleep behind the Settee' from www.carasmusic.com, and then ring up jOhn from hull on his oft-posted telephone number, and have him hum the original down the 'phone.

I know which one I prefer!

Them Cara Lads have the playing of "The Faerie Queen" with the pipes and violin in pure sync...off to a fine art...A better played piece of instrumental work I have not heard for many years. Hopefully it will present itself on their new C/D when they record it. I for one will buy it for that track alone, although I am sure all the other tracks on it will be good.
Be Blessed.

Skipjack - I have decided to stick to the original, so have no need to listen to John bleating down the phone at me. Didn't see you at Caistor, listening to the wonderful sounds eminating in the park from CARA. Lots of people there.

CARA send their love and just wondered if you have ever fallen on any barbwire in your past life.

Ahar, Les, I can always be found if you look carefully, and I was indeed there, playing a session in the Talbot on Friday night with Bloke, whilst witnessing an all-night brawl triggered by Cara's performance in the Town Hall next door (I hear they played the tea dance slot).

Did the bicycle ever penetrate Caistor?

There you go GS, if you had been at Caistor, you would have heard them playing "The Faerie Queen"
