Abbey FC - Mon 26 Apri From: Leraud Our very own ALAN FRANCIS will be appearing at the Waltham Abbey Folk Club Feature Evening on Monday 26th April. Alan is the big man with the big voice and beautiful guitar style. He will be finishing off the evening for us with 35-40 minutes of first class entertainment. As always, a warm welcome is extended to all who venture through the doors of the Folk Club. We will talk to you, sell you a raffle ticket and generally be kind. Why not come and sample this bonhomie for yourself? Or send a friend if you don't fancy it. Be you poet, singer, musician, dancer or audience, we would love to see you. We meet every Monday at the Royal British Legion, Brooker Road, Waltham Abbey, Essex. On singers nights and feature evenings admission is £1. On guest nights admission is £4. Children under 16 are FREE, so no need for a babysitter! For further details email me at lynneheraud@yahoo.com or phone on 01920 870558. Lynne Heraud |

24 Apr 04 - 05:52 AM (#1169595) Subject: RE: ALAN FRANCIS - W. Abbey FC - Mon 26 Apri From: GUEST,harlowpoet Long singing, can sometimes see you cursed Its a bugger, when bladders want to burst Though good is the song In case its too long Just make sure you go to the loo first |

24 Apr 04 - 06:19 AM (#1169604) Subject: RE: ALAN FRANCIS - W. Abbey FC - Mon 26 Apri From: GUEST,Leraud Long songs are fantastic They stretch like elastic If you sing them dirge-like and slow But if you sing 'em fast They soon will wizz past and then to the bog you can go. |

24 Apr 04 - 07:32 AM (#1169625) Subject: RE: ALAN FRANCIS - W. Abbey FC - Mon 26 Apri From: Lanfranc Do I detect a challenge? Forty minutes could merely comprise: for Breezy, who seems to appreciate my renditions of Dylan songs - "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" and "Desolation Row"; or, for connoisseurs of long and arcane songs from the 60s - Al Stewart's "Love Chronicles" and Phil Ochs' "Pleasures of the Harbour"; or, at the risk of trespassing into Lynne's territory - "Lord Bateman" and "Sir Patrick Spens" But maybe not - I'd need a crib sheet or two and that would blow my reputation!!

24 Apr 04 - 01:48 PM (#1169804) Subject: RE: ALAN FRANCIS - W. Abbey FC - Mon 26 Apri From: harlowpoet On a personai level, who gives a fuck for crib sheets. Soz for the bad language. I've had a few. Alan, if you can do Blind WILLWa |
