Hi Jerry and everyone, I've not been able to get to the table for days, have been looking after baby grand daughter as her mummy caught a horrid flu bug that seems to be attacking the UK with a vengence.All are well now thank goodness.The sun is shining and spring is here, whoopee! ( not that we have had a winter really)

Billy and I were involved in running a folk festival here for 17 years. Unfortunatly it folded 2 years ago, leaving a big empty space in our lives.We have decided to hold a house concert in June,I have booked an old friend"The Amazing Mr Smith" he is a great musician and also very, very funny. We thought we would put up the marquee in the garden and have a bar b q supper, then go into the house for the concert and back outside after for drinks and talking! I will ask for donations to cover the cost of the performer. So far old festival friends have shown a good reaction, we should be able to get about 30 people. I know you have house concerts over in the USA, any ideas or advice would be very welcome!If it goes well we may do 3 or 4 a year.
thanks Wendy
