Cheers Syd - but we're in Bedfordshire - perhaps we could do the whole of the dark side including chiming clocks & cah registers

Thanks to all last night for a grand session

To Bert, Cathy, John P, Stevi, Rita, Davina, Geoff, Lorna, Nat, Trevor H, Keith, Eve, Bill, Tony, Teresa & Bob

Many thanks

Thanks to Bert for the pint & Cathy for half a pint - not that I've got a drink problem

Wow - that's really rock and roll - concept album in a day?

I'm reading Nick Mason's autobiographical Pink Floyd book at the moment - it's full of stories like that John

Blue Anchor was good last night - must be the best open session in Hertfordshire

It's a folk night at the Bull in Barton tonight - all very welcome to come along and join in

Bring your own notes
