Thanks, Sarah - we look forward to Craig Morgan Robson's harmony workshop and evening performance on Saturday 10th. November and ballad forum on Sunday 11th. November.

Come and hear Kitty Vernon this Saturday and test the quality of the beer as well.

THE RETURN OF HARVEYS BEER TO THE LEWES ARMS
by
Robert O'Mahony, 21.4.07

On receiving the joyous tidings last Saturday afternoon one of our folk club residents, Rob O'Mahony, felt the muse descending in a sudden rush. He took the precaution of filtering his inspiration through the kidneys of William McGonagle. This would make a cross-stitch sampler:

The Tenth of December
A day to remember:
There was grieving and tears
For our own local beer.

Greene King's Mr. Angela, ex-dog food and cat litter,
Said the Lewes Arms couldn't sell our local bitter.
The locals strongly resisted this plan
By boycotting, nearly to a woman and man.

To enter the pub they strongly refused
Showing their anger in the national news.
The Mayor and MP both took the part
Of Harveys and the Arms at Lewes's heart.
Greene King's embarrassment spread beyond our land:
'We'll be in Der Spiegel next, Mr. Anand!'

Now sanity has prevailed, justice restored.
Mr. Angela has fallen (or was he pushed?) onto his sword.
The locals will celebrate this victorious text:
HARVEYS WILL BE SOLD AT THE LEWES ARMS FROM THURSDAY NEXT!

Tootle pip,

Valmai
