29 Jul 08 - 07:15 AM (#2400176) Subject: It's August so it's the Beech From: Les in Chorlton Ok I guess I have flogged the Beech / Beach and it's summer to death. On Wednesday 6 August, around 8.30, we will all be welcome at the Beech, Beech Road, Chorlton, Manchester. Songs and tunes mostly but not exclusively traditional. Good Beer, good music, good room, great company. Who's up for it? Cheers Les in Chorlton |

31 Jul 08 - 04:40 AM (#2402016) Subject: RE: It's August so it's the Beech From: Phil Edwards Hearing Les sing Ranzo at the last singaround but three was a bit of a turning-point for me - not least because of the way the rest of the room walloped in on the chorus (I hadn't even known a chorus was coming). Hmmm. Tell me more about this old stuff that's still alive and sounds great and just needs voices to carry it... So I'll be there next week. Pip (a.k.a. Phil) |

02 Aug 08 - 08:40 AM (#2403568) Subject: RE: It's August so it's the Beech From: Les in Chorlton Yes, that's true but people say all sorts of things don't they? I suspect that if the garden is really sorted and all the rubbish is thrown out of the garage then you die! Ff their is one thing i would like to know it's where I am going to die. If i did, I just wouldn't go there. |

06 Aug 08 - 07:43 PM (#2407121) Subject: RE: It's August so it's the Beech From: 8_Pints I'll second that! Must just say Les, because you didn't include Chorlton in the thread title I missed it completely yesterday so just turned up on spec, as they say. It always seems to be unpredictable, and special because of that! Regards, Bob |

07 Aug 08 - 03:39 AM (#2407321) Subject: RE: It's August so it's the Beech From: Rapunzel Well it's always different at the Beech, but last night was truly bizarre - in a good way. As Les pronounced - "Fucking Priceless!" Maybe that should be our motto. I could get used to singing in the dark. Looking forward to September... |

07 Aug 08 - 04:02 AM (#2407331) Subject: RE: It's August so it's the Beech From: Les in Chorlton Well it surprised me more than a bit! I realised at 4pm that Man U would be on TV. I rang the Beech and asked if they had it on and they said yes! But it's ok they said it will be a quiet night. I stumbled to the Beech expecting it to be overflowing with Man U supporters only to find it empty. Well a great night I'd say. With thanks to Dave, Phil, Alan, Kate, Bob, Sue, Matthew, Rachel and Sean. Also Gordon and Jed as first timers, Ingrid for two excellent stories and Kate for the candles. The dog was ................ well the dog, what can you say? It didn't bite anyone and only pissed on the carpet once and as the owner offered to share his fragrant smoke with us all it was all a special night. Thanks again Les |

07 Aug 08 - 07:01 AM (#2407402) Subject: RE: It's August so it's the Beech From: Jack Blandiver Our first Wednesday monthly routine begins with a romantic dinner for two, gazing lovingly into each other's eyes over some exquisite delicacy or other in one of The Trafford Centre's more exclusive eateries. Actually, I love the Trafford Centre, and I'm sure Sun Ra would have loved it too, but The Beech, by way of contrast, is a genuine heaven-cum-haven from the seductions of such post-modern razzmatazz - dodgy lights, mad dogs & all... Fucking priceless indeed, Les - see you all in September! |

07 Aug 08 - 08:54 AM (#2407495) Subject: RE: It's August so it's the Beech From: Alan G It would have been fucking priceless if that effin dog had succeded in pissing on my leg as it was trying to do. Other than that it was a wonddeful evening. Hope to see you all next month, or next Wednesday at the Saracen's Head if you can make it - I can't guarantee a pissing dog though |
