Avril Betts (DB) at Snorbans Sun 9 May

The delectable Avril Betts, better known in her male incarnation as Dave Bryant, will be appearing at the St Albans Spotlight club this Sunday 9th May, at the British Legion, Verulam Road, St Albans, Herts, UK. Doors open at 7:30 for a prompt 8:00pm start.

For those who don't know what to expect: Powerful baritone, choice material, often performed with actions, great singalong choruses (chori?) and - perhaps - a "close shave" (pretty please?).

How disappointing. DB to appear in male guise and not his alter-ego.
Perhaps the audience should counter by cross-dressing...The set consist of 'Handsome Cabin Boy', 'Female Drummer' and so on...

No, sorry to disappoint you all, but I won't be wearing a 40DD bra - I didn't even cross-dress when I was posting as Avril - Micca might have done though !

Linda (Essex Girl) will be with me (if you want to know her bust size, you'll have to ask her) and will probably join me for some songs.

Incidently, John, what sort of time do you need us there, and what sort of length spot should we plan for ?

We will try to get to Snorbans as early as possible, but it might be nearer 8pm as Linda has a 15 year old son to sort out. No problem with the number of songs or time - for many pub gigs we have to do at least 2 hours worth.

See you there.

more seeing as I'll be giving the songs to Moses so that I dont overdo it before Tuesday at Ampthill, you coming?
Looks like Martin has more floor singers to get on than he at first thought and they'll want to be kept happy.

Do I get the feeling that Snorbans (or Stall Bins as it is known further south) is turning into the Folkie Capital of the World?

No JB - I play dominoes with me Dad on Tuesdays at the British Legion in Harpenden - you've very welcome to come and watch

Ever since I gave Tuesday over to dominoes in 1992 it has become the best night of the week for folk in the Beds/Herts area - shows how lucky I am

St Albans has the pedigree to be the folk capital of the world - seeing the cathedral from the M25 on the eastern approach is quite amazing - makes you wonder what the pilgrims must have felt like

Wish I could pop over, but somehow I'm fed up with flying just now! Also, I'll be at a festival at Venne (near Osnabrueck) to hear the McCalmans, Allan Taylor, Colum Sands et al. Enjoy yourself, Avril (and Linda, of course)!

Would love to come & hear this hystorical Spotlight with Avril - will think about the Circular Car Park at the appropriate time. If I don't make it, have fun all....
