Thanks, Ali - nice to see you and Geoff there!

Our guests were brilliant, but once again they were somewhat eclipsed by another appearance of a star of the future... young Patrick!

That lad has been playing melodeon for eighteen months, now, and is so smooth it's unreal! He's now sporting a very expensive Castagnari as well as his beloved Hohner G/D pokerwork, and plays like a seasoned professional. He's even learned the art of disgusing slips so they look as if they were intentional!!

He first took up playing in the middle of the field at Cropredy in 2004, where he met up with our Pauline and John. They invited him (and family!) to our Extravaganza 7, where he bowled us all over by how proficient he had become in just a couple of months...

I quote Bill Whaley... 'He makes you sick!'

I'll post more later - and our website will be updated - with pictures! - in the next couple of days.
