Subject: RE: Barnsley singaround Easter 2010
I was there Friday and Saturday, and despite loosing my voice to a asthma/chest infection thingy had a great time, as did my brother Alan who was with me, and exposed to it for the first time.It's a great room to sing in, it reminded me of so many of the old folk club rooms that in the past we shared with the Buffalos and Masons, their decorations were always about, the accoustics were superb, and aided the singers. No gripes about the beer from me, of it's type it was good, and we have to be grateful for small mercies these days with pubs shutting wholesale. The singing was superb, good to see all the usual suspects were out in force after the winter break,also the music session was excellent and very difficult to tear oneself away from whilst getting a refill.
All in all, a very enjoyable weekend, many thanks to Ray Padgett for his kind hospitality, it was all very much apreciated by two Lanky stalwarts!
Cheers Scowie.
