06 Jun 08 - 05:59 AM (#2359140) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: BusyBee Paul Tarnation! Missed the first outing of the new duo. (When I say "outing" I mean, well, outing!). Deirdre |
07 Jun 08 - 06:20 AM (#2359955) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: HipflaskAndy Thanks to all at the venue - grand audience there - all singing lustily throughout - well done! Well done Gerry McN for stepping in as my foil. Anne couldn't do this one - on fiddle - so having the G-man there on bull-fiddle was great! Didn't he do well - on no real rehearsal time too! To play the whole set more or less off the cuff was some achievement! Grand night it was! Cheers - Duncan |
07 Jun 08 - 03:06 PM (#2360203) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: breezy I heard it was under-rehearsed and you're still using 'crib-notes' bout time you graduated!! me being bitchy Congrats Duncan on having conquered the S W Herts area , but remember, you aint played Hitchin yet! keep up the good work you know folks, I was the first to book him , now look at him go!! has he cut his hair yet! lol |
08 Jun 08 - 05:28 AM (#2360542) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: The Unicorn Man Well done Dunc, great night, Mum and Dad loved it, and so did everyone else. See you up North soon I hope. TTFN. |
08 Jun 08 - 06:27 AM (#2360564) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: HipflaskAndy Sorry Breezy - some ninety-five bookings from 2001 onward preceded the 2004 gig you booked me for in St Albans. Good to see you can still attempt humour, my friend. You need a bit more practice though, I feel! ;0) Yup, the hair got shorn short a few years back now. Is it really that long since you took time to check me out? - tsk, tsk! ;0) I'd love to play Hitchin, though! Tell you what, you set it up and by your criteria, you can claim to be first to book me since I had m' haircut! - Hah! ;0) Hope to buy you a beer somewhere e'er long, Breezy - cheers, Duncan |
08 Jun 08 - 03:07 PM (#2360844) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: breezy no chance, dont need it. Hitchin is out of my league too ! I realized that when I started booking certain acts. Still, I was always willing to be encourage new faces who were ready to face up to their musical limitations, like myself |
08 Jun 08 - 04:41 PM (#2360917) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: GerryMc It was indeed a jolly evening. Thanks Duncan. We had a lovely kip courtesy of our lovely hosts, followed by an equally lovely brekky and a reasonably lovely drive home. Nice to see some familiar faces (Hamish, Jan, Moses and the Ref, Byron and Jensine) and some not so familiar ones too. Come on BBP, that's two gigs I've done with Dunx and you aint been there. Something you're not telling us? Gerry :-) |
09 Jun 08 - 07:44 AM (#2361286) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: BusyBee Paul Well Gerry, I DID make the Owl at Rodley earlier this year. And, in my defence, I didn't know that you were Dunx "surprise". It's a pity that work gets in the way and stops me travelling too far mid-week. Maybe next time!. ;-) Deirdre / BBP |
11 Jun 08 - 09:29 PM (#2363854) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: GerryMc BBP, no probs. You're excused so long as you turn up to the next one (July 18th, Otley Courthouse, DMcF acoustic band, avec bass) I heard it was under-rehearsed and you're still using 'crib-notes' A joke right? if yes, then ha ha if not then one should never believe what one hears. oh and btw, my lovely friends who provided us with much appreciated B&B and who are Redbourn stalwarts said they had never heard such audience participation. That'll ding-dang-do for me! Gerry :-) |
12 Jun 08 - 05:47 AM (#2364029) Subject: RE: DMcF gig in St Albans Thurs 5th June 08 From: BusyBee Paul Gerry, Do you have contact details for the Courthouse please as I need to book my ticket!. Thanks, Deirdre |
