Beat me to it Sooz - I was going to start this thread during what I laughingly call my lunch-hour (actually 10 minutes eating and drinking at my desk while the E-Mails flood in!).

Small and intimate (Ooooooh Matron!) and loads of fun. Come on you lot out there, come and join us for a weekend of frolics and good music.

Well, only four days to go. Looking forward to big hugs with old friends we haven't seen since last year as well as big laughs with Derek Brimstone and Bill Whaley and lots of great music.

You can have big hugs if you like Sooz, but I won't be bothering. A handshake will suffice - I don't like people invading me personal space (unless I invite them to of course!) :0)

Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival

Date: 11 Oct 04 - 12:50 PM

Nowt wrong with a good hug with a friend...true not everyone likes hugs but it engenders a sort of closeness with the chosen ones.
I have to admit to having a big preference to the hugging of attractive women but I reckon that's normal......for a dirty old man like me!! LOL.
Best wishes.

It's going to be a good weekend - specially as it starts in style with the Festival Folk Club in the Old Hall Friday evening. I'll be there, throat willing (unaccompanied of course, not yet sure which time slot - but still looking forward to joining my voice to the famous Gainsboro chorus again). So good friends Sooz, Mike, Mike, TA, Johnny and all, see you there!

The fog has gone (washed away by the rain) and there is a glimmer of brightness in the sky. Fingers crossed for a dry and sunny Saturday or the pubs could be over-run with soggy morris men.
Off now to get mentally prepared for the Song Competition tonight. (Wish we didn't have to drive to Spilsby)

Sorry Sooz, would have taken you both but for that I am taking Pauline and Geoff and Mo.....and John B is not coming.....

The weather has improved dramatically over the last hour or so.
Now they want me to do a radio interview before we leave (about 5.30 if you want to hear them taking the mickey out of me)
