and a fine set of songs from El Greko if I may say so

Began with a new one 'Water melon seeds' very attention grabbing

the song about his son 'The Friend I never made' is very touching

'Johnny Dont go walking with the fishes' about sponge divers opens your eyes to a way of life.

'The Mill' as recorded by Cloudstreet and 'Flowers in the guns' with reference and best wishes to Vin Garbutt was very well delivered. Others try , few succeed, with the latter last night George sang it as well as I've heard him do it for a long while.

and his closing song before the encore was another newie entitled 'Angelo' is a sound finisher with a great mass audience chorus, I can see the lighters waving now.

encore 'Underdog' well chosen

Great support from Chris Flegg, 'Zorg,' Moses, the ref, Clive from Chelmsford and Michaels poem .

Next week, well who knows what'll happen.

this Friday its Graeme Knights's CD launch please see other thread

O K for a banjo player, do your Welsh songs as I know they have a Welsh contingent at Hitchin also wear the Welsh shirt, with pride, and repeat 11-9 and 24 - 18 as a mantra


at least there will be be audience participation in St Albans


like


applause

that lasts for more than 2 seconds




Thought you were headliners?

Still , anythings better than the Rose and Crown on a Sunday night.


Please give Graeme Knights CD launch for next Friday at the legion a plug!

Wish I could be there. I can look forward to September though. Hope it's a great gig for you. I am sure it will be.

Ah, how did I miss this first time round? Really wish I could get along but alas, not this time! Having got over the 3 week cold in January I've now got another one *sniff*

Any Catters should take this opportunity to see George in his 'home surroundings', a marvellous chance not to be missed!
