Hi again, Edna! The folk club at Irvine is still going strong. I was there the first session of 2004 courtesy of a delay in my flight home due to document problems. Michael Marra was the guest that night. Talented writer and performer of comic songs, from Dundee, I believe.
You will be aware [I think?] that for a decade at least, the club was in the Redburn Hotel. It has moved "digs" again to the Golf Hotel on Kilwinning road. This is a more central venue. I see I made another "name blunder". Of course I do mean Eleanor Shaw.

And hi, Weerover--as Edna says this is a wonderful place to be! I too won the Argo trophy--somewhere in the 1980s---singing "Bogie's Bonie Belle". Lost it the year following singing "the Laird o' Cockpen" to Charlie of the Dublin Buskers. Charlie, a great guy, passed away a few years back. I have one of his bodhran tippers, which I cherish in memory of an old friend. [Reviewing!---I didn't sing it to Charlie---I lost the trophy to Charlie!]
