Subject: RE: can posh instruments play folk music?
Ok guys, that's cleared things up a bit… all good. We no longer eat our dead by the way thanks to Wetherspoons which has taken over that 'big pub on the lights'. Where, you are quite correct in assuming a glass of Chardonnay is available. The tension there was indeed present in past days, mostly due to the substances which were changing hands (apart from alcohol) - this is all changed and long gone. (As is the excellent gents outfitters directly opposite run by the South Yorkshire Constabulary) The elocution lessons are no longer available in Maltby but there are some posh folks in Wickersley - ever since Vaughan Williams collected folk songs there. New Maltby was mooted but in the end it was decided to locate it in Nottinghamshire. The current Maltby is also full of surprises including the world champion Rapper team of 2005, its own set of Plough stots and a Traditional Football match in a river not to mention the great fiddler Rose Murphy and Roche Abbey. Drop by some time and partake of the chardonnay!
