Subject: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: My guru always said Date: 19 Mar 03 - 09:40 AM Come-All-Cats! Singaround / Session at the Bull Pub in Barton-le-Clay, Bedfordshire, UK (use postcode MK45 4LL for map search) on Monday 24th March, kicking off at 8.30pm. All acoustic instruments & voices very welcome at this cosy venue and we're always glad to see new faces :-) It's held fortnightly to run in tandem with the music workshop which is hosted by the University of Luton on alternate Saturday mornings. Come if you can, but if you can't then perhaps you can come to the next one which will be on Monday 7th April :-) |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: breezy Date: 20 Mar 03 - 07:37 AM Guru says she'll go to Manch after Friday at the Comfort where Piers Presents Leon Rosselson |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: GUEST,Ross Date: 20 Mar 03 - 12:17 PM I'm really jelaous You'd better keep your shaky safe |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: Piers Date: 20 Mar 03 - 01:19 PM You ought to be, it's a beauty. Original flavour, apparently the cheese and chive go out of tune really easily. Piers |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: GUEST,Ross Date: 21 Mar 03 - 05:18 AM I'll swap you your shaky for a complete church organ made out of yoghurt pots This offer not available in Northern Ireland Is everyone having a good war? |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: GUEST,Piers Date: 21 Mar 03 - 07:11 AM No way Ross, I love my shaky Pringles container! My war is going OK. Hats off to the radical students from Roundwood Park School who demonstrated by walking out of lessons yesterday, and the sixth form who took the demo into town where it seemed to fizzle out, rather than being the catalyst for revolution as I had hoped. Harpenden's means of production, unfortunately, are still owned and controlled by the few. I believe St. Albans really put on a good show of support for peace. My personal 'walk out' of work went completely unnoticed. Big marches tomorrow in London, Fairford (Glos.) or Menwith. I have just learnt that Oscar Ceremony will be protected by the US national guard, perhaps local scout troop could protect the session at The Bull, Barton le Clay. Piers ************* Don't miss Leon Rosselson tonight (21/3), Comfort Hotel, St. Albans. Sheffield Telegraph - '…Proof that the art of songwriting is not dead' Washington Post - 'His songs are teeming with colourful characters, wonderfully descriptive passages and witty observations' Taplas - 'One of the most able songwriters or our times' |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: GUEST,Ross Date: 21 Mar 03 - 07:46 AM Young people of today - it's ghastly how they behave How are we going to get medals without a war? It's not Baghdad that should be frightened Guru in Manchester could be called a weapon of mass exhalation Good luck for the gig tonight with LR I would be there but the road through Luton's not too safe - Iraqi's have taken junction 9 on the M1 Good luck with your shaky The Bull has been secured for Monday - minefields laid |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: Mary Humphreys Date: 24 Mar 03 - 12:25 PM Guru: Hope you said 'hello ' to Manchester for me.I mis-spent my youth & early middle-age singing in the local clubs. Sorry - Anahata & I won't be there tonight. Must get an early night after several very late ones. Hope you all come to the Song Links concert on Sunday - even if it is on the day you lose an hour's sleep because of BST.(Nothing to do with mad cows....) Have a good session. |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: GUEST,Ministry of Transport Date: 24 Mar 03 - 12:28 PM I would respectfully request that you stop mucking about with our official documents Somebody has to do it Just off out, to number some bridges |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: My guru always said Date: 24 Mar 03 - 12:47 PM Mary: They're great Folks up in Manchester, we had a very good sing together - I can see how easy it would be to mis-spend a youth up there! Maybe we could persuade you & Anahata along to another Extravaganza - they're having the next one in October & it's to be hoped that it will continue on from there :-) My ticket for 'Song Links' is in pride of place on the mantelpiece - it's going to be such a good day - can't wait! |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: Ross Date: 25 Mar 03 - 06:29 AM Many thanks to all that came along last night It was a great night - lots of singalongs Hope you're all coping today |

Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: My guru always said Date: 25 Mar 03 - 08:31 AM Yes Ross - let's have that Barton-le-Clay song posted here!!!! Really good sing last night & two 'newbies' (the Singing Referree & Shanty Dave) came along & found out what fun it can be :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: Ross Date: 25 Mar 03 - 08:42 AM Are you sure - it means I'll have to finish writing it? Not sure about the `3 counties radio' bit & going trans global |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: My guru always said Date: 25 Mar 03 - 08:46 AM Yes, it's a bit worrying isn't it? Our landlady does have ideas doesn't she? We are already trans-global here surely? Thought the song was all polished & shined???? Is there a title? |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: Ross Date: 25 Mar 03 - 08:54 AM Blimey - you want a title as well? I suppose we must be known across the world through the Mudcat What does it all mean though? Are there people out there chortling over our messages, or do they just think we're stark staring mad |
