Thanks for that Sooz! I'm looking forward to Friday and to seeing Duncan myself - all reports I've heard say he'll easily put me to shame.

GS - you saw me on Saturday at Carol's sing; I was the one playing the big Lowden and compering the evening session with Rhiannon who was sat beside me.

See you on Friday.

For those who don't know him already, Duncan is a very fine fellow and very highly recommended. He's a superb guitarist, writes some great songs and does some really interesting takes on trad stuff as well. And he's a really nice bloke. You'll enjoy, I'm sure.

Bit worried about Mick and Rhiannon.

They have this ferocious Lion living with them. It loves finger tips and old smelly clothing and sandals.

So I don't know what to expect when they arrive :-)

As for Duncan, well just wait and see!!!!!!!!

ask Mick to do 'Joshua gone Barbados'

Didnt Graeme do Mike Spark's song '13 Florins' at G'sb?

Mike Sparks puts on a good evening too!!

All these 'names' hail from the Herga Folk Club as do Johnny Collins and George Papavgeris.

and they've all played St Albans.

Duncan is appearing in October.As is MCP.

You wanted to know all that didnt you?

Ask Mick to do 'Eldorado' and also ' Anderson's Coast' so that you can learn the chorus for later in October, just in case.

Breezy, you say 'Ask Mick to do.....Anderson's Coast'
I'll be leaving that one out of my set then.
It's on my solo CD from 2001 - and went well when I did it with Margaret Walters at Alcester Fest, Oxford & Nottingham FCs earlier this year.
Did you know her maternal grandfather was one Duncan McFarlane - a pioneer photographer from Glasgow? (All my family are from Ayrshire) You'd know idea I was THAT old did you!!!
By the way Breezy m'boy - would you kindly resend an address for me to pop posters off to for Oct at St Alb's. Ta - Duncan

'You'd know idea I was THAT old did you!!!'
Ooops! NO idea - not KNOW idea.
...and I opened this up this aft to find John's comment there. John's been kind enough to be complementary before, bless him. So I don't reckon he's that bothered if I'm 'monitoring' or not.
He just speaks his mind - usually mentions Julie Ellison though (with whom I had the pleasure of sharing a gig at Holmfirth Fest in 02)
I just said yes to appearing at an Amnesty Fundraiser on October 30th with her (and others) - in Otley at the new Courthouse Arts Centre. Might get a chance to meet Mr R properly over a brew there then. Love - Duncan

'I have to mention her Dunc - she pays the bills !'

Och John, I fully understand lad. When I put that bit in ('usually mentions Julie Ellison though')- it was just me setting you up to get a free plug in - knowing full well she has a benefit gig coming up for Amnesty International (not only in my patch, but one that I'm on at too - with my acoustic band).
That 'ultimate fusion concert' you mention sounds a good idea - ok, who's gonna set it up?

Now, it hasn't escaped my limited Pooh-bear-brain that each wee exchange here whips the thread back up to the top for a wee while longer - which no doubt raises the Market Rasen gig awareness-factor.

Shameless pluggery for all concerned? Aye, but even if just one extra bod that reads it here walks into ANY folk club, likes it, may be goes again, that's a result for the general good, surely?
Joy, health, love and peace - Duncan

A very good evening indeed. My personal contribution was a struggle against my personal demons, and the less said the better, but everyone else - wow! Paul & Lucy, Stitherum (a.k.a. Sooz & GUEST: Mr. Sooz) were well up to their usual high standard and, IMNSHO, it was a delight to hear Jane Kitchen solo doing the stuff she's best at (don't fret about the wayward tuning lass, happened to me too - I put it down to cold wood versus warm body (that's my excuse anyway)! LOL!).

Duncan McFarlane was a revelation - a one-man folk-rock band if ever there was one - and Mick Pearce was, well he was Mick Pearce (and those who've heard him know exactly what I mean!). Two great sets from two very nice and highly talented guys.

Bring on the next lot Les - can't wait!
