21 Feb 05 - 07:34 PM (#1416938) Subject: RE: Vin Garbutt Op 22nd Feb From: McGrath of Harlow I'm looking forward to hearing the songs that Vin will create out of this episode. Incidentally February 22nd is the feast day of St Elvis - he was an Irishman who ended up in Cornwall, in the Sixth Century. So that's quite a good saint to be keeping an eye out for a singer. |

28 Jun 05 - 08:05 AM (#1511545) Subject: RE: Vin Garbutt Op 22nd Feb From: George Papavgeris Just received the latest circular from Vin - I saw him at Avoncroft Museum on Friday anyway, but he gives here the picture in his own words. QUOTE Phew! Five gigs in seven days, back in at the deep end. It was a daunting prospect after six months incapacity. Although I had decided that I was strong enough to sing, it would have been impossible to travel without my dear wife Pat who did all the roadying. Some of the clubs thought that it was too risky to sell tickets in advance as they had graciously accepted that I could cancel at any minute, nevertheless the tour was a sell out. I sat down for my performances and chose my songs carefully to retain my energy but I managed a bit of patter and even subjected the Winchester audience to a look at my scars! I have lost a couple of stones so I managed to sell 47 brass rubbings of my ribcage at Winchester, one in the cathedral, without my permission! Joking apart the audiences were great, so understanding of my situation. Despite the fact that I have had to cancel Croydon to ease the work load this week (my sincere apologies to all concerned) I am now filled with confidence and feel that my return to work will, God willing, be permanent, although I may not be fully fit until next year. I would like to thank the staff at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough and Woodside Surgery in Loftus for saving my life twice. I am very lucky that the Cardiac Unit up here in the North East of England is second to none. I have had fantastic care from everyone and especially from Pat. I told the doctor that I can manage without the heart but I can't manage without Pat. This has been the most difficult six months of my life but the support from all of you out there has been phenomenal. Your hundreds of cards, letters and emails, prayers and good will have contributed to my recovery immeasurably. Thank you so much from the bottom of my er…. dicky ticker. Normal service is now resumed!! Love Vin. Thank you, thank you, thank you UNQUOTE |
