I can safely say that last night in the Good Intent was not at all boring. Bob Kenward had the tears of laughter running down the chairlegs, and his fiddle player Steve was a delight to hear. Lyndsey Rule gave a stunning rendition as the last but one song of the evening of Chris Wood's "England in Ribbons" - all three bar people hanging over the bar to listen with wistful expressions in a totally silenced room. Brian Carter and Steve gave a spectacular improvised rendition of "Summertime" as a tune, and Brian and Marion Rodgers were also on top form.

Come to that I thought my 12-string was roaring a bit on "Bonnie Lass of Anglesey" and "Good King Arthur's days" - both pushed up to G to let others the more readily join in.

And the Timothy Taylor's Landlord was wonderful and only £2.80 per pint.
