JonnThe suggestion that the club organiser should interviene seems a good one! Perhaps he'll then be too busy to play guitar throughout unaccompanied performances. Perhaps the bodhran could be given to the club organiser. On the subject of loosing the thread of the song, I lost it last week due to the intervention of Boddintons Bitter; but I'm not going to ask the landlord to refrain from selling it! By the way thanks for remembering the words for me
