We had a lovely time, despite the rain. I thoroughly enjoyed my spot on Saturday and also managed to sneak in a few songs as a substitute on Sunday morning. The chort & peese party on Friday night was pretty good too!

Had a bit of a panic getting ready to leave as we managed to shear off the jockey wheel on the caravan. Thankfully we knew there was a caravan showroom nearby as they support the festival and are always in the Summer Program. So Alanww found the phone number for them & gave us directions and luckily they were still open. Hurrah!!!

Many thanks to Marje and the team for another fabulous Alcester. Really looking forward to the Summer Fest, especially as Marje has booked me to sing again! I'd best learn a few new songs....

Hi Everyone, and I am glad you all had such a good time. As you will all be aware there IS GOING TO BE A SUMMER FESTIVAL so keep your Eye on t'internet as I will be updating the website with some details over the next week or so.

I hope that you have all dried out (in many ways) and that you all got home without any exciting incidents.

Thanks to all the stewards and everyone involved in getting things done. The sight of Dave on his back under the stage was interesting and I wondered who he was waiting for until I saw that he was working.

Wasn't the sound terrific, Lawrence is definitley the best sound man around. Respect to mini Lawrence too.

I hope the weather perks up as we want to get out in our caravan again soon.

So, bye for now and see you in a few months at ALCESTER SUMMER FEST.

Green Man - I meant to say hello to you on Saturday (nice to put a face to the name, thanks to your Mudcat badge) but you were deep in conversation with someone else at the time!

And yes, big thanks to Lawrence and Ben who do a brilliant job on the sound. Derek and I especially enjoyed singing with Les Sullivan on stage on Saturday and Sunday evening and being able to be confident that Lawrence would make us sound good!

Well I had a really good squawk on Friday night and owing to a chemical imbalance and sore vocal chords that was it to for me.

So I just had to spend the rest of the weekend chatting to friends and socialising.

Bit cold at night tho..

I had a really good 'squawk' on Friday night too, GM- and the Late sings in the Rotunda on Friday and Saturday were something else!

Thanks all, so much!
