For longer than I care to remember I was a one-club performer, so my black book (actually a spreadsheet) is sadly deficient: it's got a column for the regular club and another column for everywhere else. So it tells me, for example, that I've done The Bonny Bunch of Roses four times Everywhere Else - but not that it was in four different places. Must sort that out.

Thanks for 'languid and sublime', IB. Yes, it was Musgrave. The effect I was after was a ballad that goes on and on relentlessly - speeding up a bit, getting a bit raucous, but mainly just going on and on - so that when it goes quiet in the last couple of verses, it just floats: it feels like the song's gone on forever & will carry on forever. At least, that's the effect I induced in myself when practising...

Powerful stuff, these ballads. I hope to hear your King Henry before too long.
