Blatant Self Aggrandissment

I thought I ought to warn Bedforshire that I will be at Ampthill on
the Evening of the 13th of April, so you can either give the club as wide a berth as you like or come along for a laugh. Allsorts of songs and tunes with as wide a selection of various instruments as I can fit in the car.

Sorry I won't be able to make it, Lead. But, you're a good man. Don't "diss" yourself.

Your buddy,

Jerry

Ampthill is going for class, then...Good man, Terry! Remember to also do some of your unaccompanied stuff, we don't hear enough of that. And we expect banjolas, banjos, guitars, mandolins, bouzoukis and OF COURSE the magic whistles!

Err - that's "diss" as in Aggrandissment" then. So subtle I almost missed the deliberate missssssssstake!

Its funny but when I was young I COULD spell. It was NOT an intentional one!!

Great play on words, sorry I can't make it, employment and all that.

Peace, Mooh.

Good man yourself, Terence. Sadly, I will still be domiciled in the frozen north, so I can't make it, but do what you do so well.

Open mike, the banjola is a banjo with a mandola body.
As in Andy Irvine's "guitarouki" (my term).

The pub will be under new management but the current plan is to expect the folk club to continue unchanged for the near future. Cllr will send me any changes for quick updates to the Ampthill Folk Club website (I've just put Leadfingers' date in now, only from reading about it here!).

How come a thread titled "Blatant Self Aggrandissment" has nothing to do with Breezy?

Oddly enough the lovely John does NOT have sole rights for Self promotion on Mudcat- Yes I know that is hard to believe!

And I have closed a few clubs in my time but this is the first time someone has closed the pub to try to stop me doing a gig!!

If I didnt already know the Whole World is against me I could get Paranoid !!

I think it might be hard to play that on a mandolin

No point heading a thread like this and letting it drop off after only three days . Especially as I have a NON gig week this week. I NEED the publicity !! And just to add interest I WILL be playing the mysterious Banjola on the night.
