A huge thankyou to Tina and Vic Smith, to all the artists who gave their time, and all the friends that rolled along, to make such a huge success of my best friend Shirley's birthday party at the Royal Oak in Lewes last Thursday.

Dear Vic and Tina,

Thank you both so much for all your hard work in organising such a joyous and unforgettable evening for Shirley's birthday on Thursday. You must be very pleased that it went so splendidly, and Shirley herself was quite clearly having a wonderful birthday.

....and now (and probably finally) an email from Shirley thanking us for the evening and saying how much she enjoyed it; rather too personal to quote here.

Had a fantastic evening at the Royal Oak Folk Club for Shirley Collins' birthday party. Performance highlights included my dad singing The Laughing Policeman, everything that Rattle on the Stovepipe did, and The Copper Family finishing the evening off by singing Thousands or More.

Thanks to everyone who made this such a fantastic utterly memorable evening - the enthusiastic capacity audience, the superb performers who were all on top form - and, of course, Shirley herself.
