Not like you to be in such a state, BB...

With regard to Saturday night, we had an absolutely wonderful evening. PTH's ranks were swelled to a five piece, with the duelling fiddles of both Nik Nak and brother Oakley in SPLENDID form, as well as the resplendent Rich Wastling on Banjo, Mandola, Guitar and an abundance of harmonicas, together with the Meister and the mighty ossonflags. For my part, I must thank Raggy and Chris for a lovely evening. I enjoyed the gig more than any we have played in many a month.

With regard to the scallywag phatboy, it appears he was daunted by the presence of such greatness to the degree that he chickened out of the confrontation altogether. He knows when he's beaten, evidently, and failed to show up at all. He'll not challenge me again so readily, methinks. (actually, he had been playing in the afternoon according to R&WR, and the wages was free beer....! Oh dear....)

Once again, thanks to all who made it such a lovely evening.

Pete.
