It'll be hosted by Midnite Special, but everyone's invited to bring along guitars, washboards, voices etc and join in the fun from 7.30 pm onwards. Any Mudcatters who enjoy skiffle and live within range of Tyneside will be very welcome to drop in. Wassail! Mike |

Lonnie and Beryl Bryden are sadly no longer with us. Chris Barber, on the other hand, who played bass on that most influential record, is still going strong. (I think, God willing). |
