I'll tell you what is wrong with "banjo's", GUEST:guest. There is no acceptable plural. Banjos, banjoes and banjo's all have their devotess, but nothing seems to really work. On the analogy with potatoes, I personally go for banjoes, but opinions differ. Musically, of course, there is nothing wrong with them: if there were, why would God have decreed that they are the instruments angels play in heaven?

Question; what's the best way to play a banjo

Answer; with a stanley knife

Oh that's wicked

I thought that was reserved for the bodhran players...

Bodhran players use a double ended Stanley knife...Definition of a perfect Southern Gentleman? Someone who knows how to play the banjo, but chooses not to. (Sorry banjoistas; the mandolin player is feeling battered after a session with five banjos and a mandolin banjo!)

Nothing at all it's just thread creep
So to bring it back on track just a reminder that there are only 87 days left to the festival and tickets are on sale as we speak.

Mr Josher,

As you may know this year the celebrated Salt Town Poets of Middlewich are celebrating ten years of existence (in various guises) and at this year's ff (means Folk Festival, y'know)there will, in addition to the usual Open Mike session on Saturday at the Boar's Head, be a special 'Poetry & Pints' do (very likely at the Golden Lion).
It will, I think, be of interest to some people to find out whence the STPs came and whither they are going. And I use the words advisedly.

Mr Roberts

I was at Poynton over last weekend.Did anyone else go? It was pretty good - Fairport & Pentangle were AWESOME. I saw Tiny Tin Lady too for the first time since Cropredy last year and what a difference a year's made to them - they're brilliant. Really good songs and harmonies.

I'm looking forward to seeing them as well as the divine Eddi @ middlewich.

Dave,

Thanks.

but blue clickys are easy enough to do yourself.

look below the text box [where you write your thread messages] & you'll see under where it says 'submit message' it says 'Make a link ;blu cliky'

just clik on it & the rest's simple [just like me!]
