Hello there people. I don't know if anyone's noticed a couple of messages of mine scattered in other threads so I'll come straight out and tell you. (Coughs and clears throat nervously)

A friend and I are doing a coffeehouse gig in Newmarket this Friday, December 10, 8:00 pm. We will be joined in the intervals by our friend Katy Austin. I am one half of Brooks and Cooper (we still haven't come up with a name) we sing some English folk tunes, a few modern songs and some, make that a very few, original tunes. Now and again I tell him to leave the stage and sing a cappella . In retaliation Terry sings, for some unknown and probably disreputable reason, Jake Thackeray songs. If he can't get his E-string tuned I become desperate and have been known to recite Vogon poetry. We all pray that he keeps that string tuned. He plays guitar, I play recorder, bodhran, bells and shackles. Any Mudcatters from the surrounding area, and I notice a lot from Toronto, are welcome to come and hear us, I'd be delighted to meet you. As a clue I'll let you know that I am not the one losing my hair.

If you're interested in the Corner Coffeehouse I found this address which will tell you about it, although its a little out of date as far as lineups go.
