FRIDAY 16th SEPT 2011
at HERMITAGE COMMUNITY MOORINGS, WAPPING E1W 1NG
Performers: Nigel Of Bermondsey, then open floor
7pm to about 10pm
Free

Sorry - I'm new here and not too sure how it all works, but I wanted to draw people's attention to a one-off session this Friday, 16th Sept. at Hermitage Moorings' floating community centre on the Thames, "The Pier House".
(Access through the gate and down the walkway onto the river - if it's low tide it can be steep)
Nigel of Bermondsey will be performing, then an open floor for singers and musicians - ideally we'll start, at least, with songs about Wapping and/or about the river. (Wapping Old Stairs, anyone?)

I'll be supporting Pete Morton as he does his Chaucer show tomorrow in Gainsborough. Well, not "as", obviously, but a short time before. I understand that's the usual way with support spots.

Then on Saturday I'll be opening the evening concert and MCing at Kirkby Fleetham's Big Birthday Bash on the Saturday night: see separate thread.

Oh, and while I'm here anyway: tonight I'll be hosting the Berko Uke UkeThrash at The Three Horseshoes, Winkwell, Bourne End, Herts (betwixt Berko and Hemel).

Just come across this thread for the first time so two thoughts
1) Unless it happens to be a thread in current vogue all this info is invisible
2) Most of it is up to a decade out of date!

I'm singing at The SOC Clubhouse Richmond North Yorkshire tonight 3/3/2012 but who will ever know from this thread.
Perhaps it could be the other way up. Last item first?
