Les - I resemble your remark about falling over !! However I only do it after eleventeen pints. I've done the Folk train twice. Once as a three piece with Wildy on Melodeon and Smiley Dave Young on fiddle which made for some volume and someone told me I can sing quite loud. In fact the last publicity said and I quote 'Jim's powerfull hibernian tones can be put to good effect to drown out the noise of the train !!'.We tried to be clever and play the Sheffield Hornpipe followed by the Manchester hornpipe (as the train goes from Sheff - Manch) on the way out but Wildy was pissed and did them the wrong way round.The second time I did the train with Woody (Dave Wood. You need to contact Gerry Bates who runs the train on behalf of the Hope Valley Rail Partnership and the South Riding Folk Network I think his phone number is 0114 266 9532. Gerry is a train buff as well as a Morris Dancer and all round good egg. Toodlepip Les see you in Warwick Jim
