Hello Alice and Big Mick,
'Tis lovely to missed. I missed you too.

Sorry I disappeared off the face of the web but I've been under pressure with godforsaken work (employment for monetary gain) and have had to leave aside the most important things in life for a while.

So I shall be joining you once every few days from work and can be reached for the moment at;
frank.mcgrath@bluewatch.com

I've a lot of catching up to do so go easy on me for a while.

'Tis great to be back.

Frank McGrath

PS. The Singers Circle is going great and there are now about nine operating in the area. There are singing sessions every week within a one hour drive.
All the singing is unaccompanied with stories poems and lots of banter and slagging (ball hopping) thrown in for good measure.

The musicians had taken over the pub sessions for many years. (The singers and story tellers were only allowed to perform when the musicians had to answer the call of nature). But now we have our own times to ourselves and hopefully we can start joint sessions with a little more balance and variety.

I'd love for you to experience it sometime. Each night is unique and lovely with eight to eighty year olds, great singers and crap singers, gobshites and philosophers all respecting each others gift of voice.

Jasus - once I start I can't be shut up!!!

Thanks for missing me and being here whe
