I would like to thank Smallpiper publicly for his invaluable expertise on the sound desk on Monday. The gig would not have been the same without him. Also to Nik Nak for swelling PTH's number to five for the night. Duelling fiddles made it an unforgettable night for me. Thanks, darling xx We owe you both. Also a word about Jim Stark and David Elf. Both extremely talented singers and musicians, and bloody nice blokes to boot. If you haven't seen either of them, make an effort to do so in the future. I most certainly will.

And thanks to everyone who came and supported us all. It was a cracking night, I hope you'll agree. Never seen Durty Nellies quite that full before! Hope to see many of you at the Sun Inn, Beverley, this coming sunday night for more equine pugilism? I have a sneaky suspicion that Nik Nak may once again be demonstrating her prowess and flexing her musical muscles so it promises to be another good night!
