England's longest practising pro folker, will be sitting, hat-on, guitar and banjo within reach.

As Les Barker wrote ' ther's nobody as old a Derek Brimstone'

Hope some of you will come

at the Comfort Hotel, Holywell Hill, st Albans

doors open 7.30

plus a selection of residents, who include Chris Flegg, the El grek george papavgeris - though he'll be too knacked probably, Moses, the ref to mention a few

very intimate setting, in other words , small, but cosy

It's a bit far to travel from Perth to "Snalbans", had the gig been 34 years ago I could have popped over from "Stev'nij" where I used to live.

I do keep in touch via email with Del and when I used to travel to UK for work, made a point of catching up for a Ruby and chat with him and Lady B.

Anyway, just thought you could pass on my regards.


Cheers

Stev'nnjj is now St.Evenage and a few people pop over to St Albans as often as possible. It's a chance to keep up our fluency in German and French.

La vie en rose,

Cathy

But I should also add: Brimmo's still the biz. And, if you haven't read his books yet, you'd be well advised. The first one in particular, for me, was tremendous.

He was on fine form
Good audience and great support singers plus floor spots.

this girl can turn in a great show

Ask Derek to do "Myrtle" it's very funny and he is a great performer

Christine Connolley does it even better, gives it sex appeal.

and yes , Derek gave us a typical 'brimstone' performance last sunday
