Thanks very much Breezy. I feel much better for that. You do realize you will miss your mate Bram Taylor on the 8th Nov don't you? Hello Piers Dude how are you? I will be on the telly um end of Oct or early Nov. I will let you know here when the time comes. I have just got back from The Fox in Pirton. I took my accordian, I even played a couple of notes. Nighty night Dudes. I will let you know about the weekend when I can Piers, hopefully before I come up.

the things I have to do to miss Bram.

This gives you all a good excuse to go to the Bull.

Make sure you have a box big enough for him to stand on or you may not see him.

An accordion would be most suitable.

Cor that was very stormy. I have just come off of the El Grecko/Jezz Lowe thread. They are all at each other's throats. You don't get that kind of stuff on a Bull in Barton, Beds thread.

how about getting the folkaholics to perform and support Ross's evening, surely he deserves it?

At least its easy to play chords

Hello everyone I am back from The Globe gathering, What a great way to spend lots of hours. I needed cheering up cos Luton lost their 100% home record. I have not been to the Luton one yet, Tuesdays is a bit tricky. They do have top names though ie Martin Carthy and Roy Bailey etc. Now where have I seen those two playing at? Not good enough Ross so you have to make more noise.AAAHHHHRRRRR. Have a nice trip Dude and cu and man on Dec 4th? I will see most of you before you get this message, but see you soon anyway.

Missed you Martin - the spotlight with Mick Pierce was very good

Chris Flegg was there too - it was all guitar playing without a chord being recognisable

I sent off the e-mail reminder to everyone - is that enough noise

If you think Luton did bad - Barton Rovers lost 6-0 to a bunch of donkeys on Saturday

Martin - I'm ever so sorry but I won't be able to come along next Monday - I'll send out a reminder to everyone this weekend on e-mail

Sorry I've appeared to quit the Folkoholics - I just want life to a be a bit flexible at the moment and I know that to do something properly you need commitment and practice
