Sorry, just can't get to the Wareham Wail. Stopped in Chester to catch up with the Poms-from-Oz on their last couple of days touring UK, great hospitality from Frank Wigglesworth and the mob at the Cross-Keys and house-party for 'last night of the Poms'. My 10 yr old nephew discovered, and started playing folk music, so it was all in a good cause. But we didn't get back down in time for the next leg.

Maybe I'll catch up with the Middle Bar at Sidmouth if they sing on regular, as I will be down that way in the next week, and Helga Kitty in London? I'll be coming through there over the next couple of weeks.

I had a great time, the banquet was brilliant, and the weather fantastic. (The port was pretty good too!)

Chris - the Middle Bar singers only get together in Sidmouth in Folk Week and for the February Winter reunion.

Well done Grandad in organising another successful Wail. Pity about the timing of the school holidays adversely affecting some regulars' attendance. They missed some great singing and a brill feast.

Excellent fun as usual, I was very tired becuase of work pressures that meant I wasn't as vocal as I normally am but I still had a brilliant time. Cllr

The highlight just had to be Alex's first festival, aged 3 weeks! I'm going to have to make a CD of lullabies. I've found my vocation at last!

Thanks to Alan for another wonderful weekend.

Alanww omitted to mention that Treaties 1 sang "Oh Sir Jasper" at the banquet, while being chased around by Alanww in his knight's outfit (with sword). They both looked as if they were enjoying themselves.

I particularly enjoyed Mike Taylor's rendition of Little White Bull (with Fred as the bull), Jon Heslop singing "Riding on a Scooter" (followed by Alan giving a demonstration and falling off), the Middle Bar contingent stealing the pig's head and leaving Dave Reader in its place, and Alanww folding all the spare chairs and stacking them in front of Vik while he sang "They had to send for extra chairs..."

Wonderful weekend, throughly enjoyed myself and the singing and the banquet and the sunshine (was that really Wareham?) and spending a little time with my proxy grandson Alex.
I've a few pictures, including a lovely one of Granny Sarah and Baby Alex asleep on the grass, but lack the technical knowledge to show them sensibly. Any suggestions/help?

Hovering Bob,

I have a couple of wonderful pikkies of Alex, two with Champagne Carol and one fast asleep on me. PM me with an e mail address and I'll send them to you. He's a charmer.
