Aye, there was magic afoot last night, the special stuff that we have only glimpsed twice before in the Six Bells; the first session there during Lententide 2000, and this year's Eurogathering in May.

I was bewitched by the superb musicianship of the young ladies. What are their names, so we can name-drop when they become famous? Thanks to all the singers, musicians and audience. I think we topped out at 30 bums on seats, but the room seemed to expand to admit all participants. Thanks especially to Sir jOhn for facilitating, El Ted for the concept, and Sweetfia for singing lovelyly. It was well gone midnight that the big dog what bites bad buglers finally saw us off the premises, and the biggest thanks of all go to our lovely landlady Jo for laying on all the grub, tea and coffee, and making sure everybody was comfortable in the session.
