What a excellent day I throughly enjoyed meself and it was good to see people I have not seen in a while. There was some great songs and talent shown on Saturday, a very well done to all singers players and Tap dancers.
Thanks to Fisheye and Babs for the lift there and back.
Great to meet Tams daughter from acoss the pond they both have equal voice when it comes to singing.
Lead fingers Christmas song the funny version was very good which inspired me to sing a funny song.(1st time.
It was good to see John Barden who arrived after working to join in the fun and to lead a excellent "RIDE ON" which rounded of a perfect day of music and laughter.
I was somewhat surprised to see Richard Bridge tuning up his Mandolin in the delightful ceramic acoustics of the pubs toilet.
"Still better then slipping Arse over Head outside I suppose"

Indeed there were Two versions played of
                     Over the hills and far away.
                      The King George version
                   & The Queen Anne version.
I have been told there are a lot of variations of this song and quite a few verses that are not used by myself or Richard so I on the ineternet tonight to see if I can find them.

In the mean time I hope the Sunday singeround was just has good has the Saturday and if I have not been working I would have joined you today has well. Looking forward now to next year and all the events I plan to go too in 2010.
Happy Christmas everyone and a happy newe bear
