I will be there.

I also heartily endorse Mundy-Turner: they played the predecessor club "Hazlitt Folk" when it was at the Style and Winch (which used to be the "Union Flag" before it was re-named to try to improve its image) and did a stonking couple of very contemporary sets some of which I can still probably sing along to after all these years, that's how big an impression they made.

I also have vivid memories of Jay needing to put a different endpin/output jack in his gorgeous Armstrong guitar, and the hole needed enlarging. The only drill bit I had that was large enough had a huge shank, and the only electric drill I had that was large enough was an enormous metal bodied Desoutter made in the early 1950's, probably about a horsepower and a half, a real brute of a drill, so it was with much nervousness that we did the job on my dining table covered with a couple of rugs, bearing in mind that the power in that drill would break the guitar apart and smash it to matchwood if anything went wrong! But it worked.
