Subject: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: breezy Date: 15 Jun 04 - 03:57 AM The wee man from Plymouth will be making a welcome return to St Albans on Friday 18th June He rarely plays far away from home, Exeter is about his limit although he has crossed into Dorset and Somerset so I've heard. A wealth of songs with a neat sense of fun playing at the Duke of Marlborough ,Holywell Hill on Friday before re-emerging at the Herga club on Monday. If you are in the london and home counties do come and hear him ,he is the 'Vin Garbutt' of the South West, but with an accent that you can understand and a great clutch of songs with very singable choruses written by Graham Searle. Good clean picking guitar technique too. And always of a smart appearance. Well worth the effort to come and see. see the Moorland folk club page |

Have fun.... BTW Breezy, am still on for the Spoltlght on 27th June - or have you decided to go with 'The Men' as it were? |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: Moses Date: 15 Jun 04 - 10:28 AM Guru You are still on - only he told everyone that you would be there this week until I reminded him that it is the blonde one this week and the brunette next week. Get it right Breezy! So:- 20th is Moses 27th is Guru |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: GUEST,my guru always said Date: 15 Jun 04 - 12:55 PM Well, Breezy's error may work well in my favour - might get an audience if they think it's Moses they'll be hearing :-) Seriously though, am looking forward to being back on 'home turf' as it were - I feel far away.... |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: GUEST,Lindswidder Date: 15 Jun 04 - 06:23 PM don't do this to me, I am already suffering 33 years of homesickness................. |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: breezy Date: 16 Jun 04 - 04:24 AM St Albans is on the way to Arden Ben sounds in good form, all the floor singers are going to do his early songs so he can fit in in his new one. Shorts to be worn |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: GUEST,The Stage Manager Date: 16 Jun 04 - 12:16 PM I was just wondering How many other clubs have a dress down code? Or is 'shorts' more to do with the air conditioning system, ie: you only open the door at the interval Breezy? Knees it is then! SM |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: breezy Date: 17 Jun 04 - 11:43 AM Ben will be at the Herga on Monday He has some cracking new songs as well as the ones that have made him a household name and a regular festival guest Graham Searle has writes the words and Ben has set them to original melodies than are most tuneful. It'll be a treat to hear some fresh songs from the west country's leading singer-songwriter and he plays neat guitar too. at the Duke of Marlborough, Holywell Hill, St Albans. doors open 7.30 plus Chris Flegg, George Papavgeris, and Nick Burdett and the boys from Leicester!! |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: breezy Date: 17 Jun 04 - 06:52 PM Unfortunately Ben had an accident at work today and was hospitalised and will not be performing this evening We all wish him well and pray that he fully recovers from the injuries he sustained. we will sing his songs tonight while thinking about him. |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: breezy Date: 18 Jun 04 - 03:58 AM it was a 6 x 2 plank that got him on the head as he slipped thru unsecured decking, dislocated shoulder, wrenched back so he is setting about working on his stand up comic act. They've just taken him back into Deresford Hospital, they found him wandering outside the entrance talking on his mobile phone, in his pygamas, and dressing gown, but they waited until he'ld 'bottled' the crowd. for breakfast he has an egg - on his head. |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: George Papavgeris Date: 18 Jun 04 - 04:32 AM OK, Ben Campbell songs tonight by Windward then. But no shorts, it's turned cooler. Long Johns, more like. |
Subject: RE: Ben Campbell in St Albans friday From: breezy Date: 18 Jun 04 - 05:41 AM Turned cooler has it not? but nah, shorts it is, but a slipover/fleecy waistcoat may be advisable. so thats: Working man, The Last Keeper - about Start Bay lighthouse, the Keelman and Steve for Song of Lost Skies. working on the dialect reet noo |
