I passed on "Vera's" regards to Bill. He just burst out laughing which makes a change for Bill - he's usually a grumpy old bugger!! They've cut the juggling with hedge trimmers out of the act - Whilst this might have been an interesting attention grabber it was felt that the safety risk was too much.
We had a cracking night with the pair of them - it wasn't as busy as it normally is because at least 11 people who would normally be there were on holiday or doing other things (maybe they'd heard I was doing the support) but there still plenty in. Got a couple of new songs out of them as well - listen out for them - they're belters.
We got a "banjo" tune out of Bill's S-Wave MIDI "concertina" which made the organiser cringe - he hates banjos - and concertinas - and melodeons. I can't think why he booked them. I think his comment at the committee meeting (as we run the club on a democratic basis - sort of) was "Can we book the singer and not have the concertina player" Only joking Jim - I'll play you a few songs on my banjo next time I see you!
The path from Lincolnshire to Lancashire is well trod by Bill and Dave and they're up here again in three weeks for the Chorley (Four Fools) folk festival.
