I just put up a rough recording of the newest song (Rush Hour) on my page on mySpace http://www.myspace.com/georgepapavgeris . Check it out.

Les, is "Upwind of me" too much for the younger members of your audience? Advice please.

Blimey George I thought you were going to be the first folkie to provide smellarama for the PC. Fortunately not :-)

However the mind begins to race ahead. As a chorus for Upwind of me, will you be requiring live expressions of relief from the audience :-)

>>Les, is "Upwind of me" too much for the younger members of your audience? Advice please. <<

The answer is that I think Mr & Mrs Sooze can handle that. :-)

No its not a problem George.

This song written by George in 2002 just typifies my feelings the day my business (which was a partnership) went pear shaped in Holland and I lost my shirt and had to go home and tell my wife and the employees at work, who had put so much trust in my partner and myself. George you sure know how to write them. :-)

When someone tells you that a song you have written, has made them laugh, cry or touched them in some way, for me, that is worth more than any money...well, more than a £5 at least.:-)
Plus, it is nice if your songs don't ALWAYS just have the 'crying' effect on people, as it can give you a bit of a complex!
Many people write songs, almost to order, to sell to a particular market...I have only heard a few of George's songs, so far, but I get the impression that he does not write to please others but writes from the heart and perhaps because of that his songs inspire a lot of emotion in people. Looking forward to hearing more of George's songs on Friday.

And if it is good enough I will come tonight and identify myself and apologise to you and to him and I will buy you a drink. I hope you understand, there are too many wannabe's these days.

Basically, you are very welcome whoever you are.

Its not all about George, there are 3 other very good acts on as well, which you would know if you have read through the thread.

I believe George to be a very good performer and there are many others who feel the same. However, I cannot (like all performers) say that you will like him. That would be your own personal choice - I don't know what your tastes are.

What I do provide is a nice evening (concert style) of varied music with a very nice audience and a very friendly environment.

There will be quite a few mudcatters present, so that would be a good way to know some of the very nice mudcatters that come to my club.

By the way, there isn't a bar, but people bring their own drinks. Sandwiches & Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate can be obtained.

You can ring me on 01673 843036 if you would like to have a chat and see if it would be worthwhile stopping over. I will help in whatever way possible.

Many thanks for changing your post and an apology is not necessary.

Cheers
Les Worrall

Two han job, Well done for the apology! As well as being a fine singer and great songwritier, George is also one of the good guys of folk, with a heart of gold. He is an asset to the folk world and comes without an ego the size Australia! There are many unsung gems out there who we all have never heard of, it doesnt mean they are rubbish, just the same as being a big name does not necessarily mean that you are a brilliant either! Its all out there for sharing, dont knock it 'till you've tried it!

OK folks, enough already! Lets get this one back on track. Sorry for dragging it away.

George was absolutely.....George, and that means 'Fan-dabby-dozie' (Greek for Excellent, according to my 'Krankies Thesaurus' LOL!). Can't say more than that - but I will, he just gives out such warmth and his great personality, huge voice, inspiring lyrics and eerily-Greek-sounding guitar (Crete in July for a fortnight, woo-hoo, bring it on!!) are the perfect reviver for a soul deflated by the grind of a week's bean-counting.

Paul and Will were a treat. YOUNG MEN (CR please note) enjoying performing traditional songs and tunes, and doing it in style. Just one request - please, please, please Paul, don't neglect that Sobell and your fabulous guitar-playing talent. Get the poor little cow out more often and PLAY HER for F**k's sake! (Oops, sorry for the swearing, Les!)

Wild Wolds Women are improving in leaps and bounds (please don't take that as a back-handed compliment - I genuinely mean it!) They've worked hard on their arrangements and it really does show. Great choice of songs, excellent playing ensemble, and fine vocal harmonies (did I hear the ghosts of The Andrews Sisters in there? Now that IS a compliment!!). Keep at it, WWW, who knows where you could go?

And the sound was even superber than usual - good work Terry and Gwenda, absolutely faultless. They proved the old adage amongst performers that the sign of great PA is when you don't even notice it's there. Excellent.

All IMHO, of course!

I will take the comment about us improving as a being a compliment,Strollin', as you said you intended!We have worked on our approach to sets at Faldingworth as it was a trial and error thing the first couple of times to see what worked, there.
Thanks for the compliment about our songs. It was one of our first sets at Faldingworth using all our own songs. We tend to throw in a few covers but we decided against it last night, for a change. I am a little concerned about the Andrews Sisters because I don't know who they are, (sorry to be ignorant, I bet all you knowledgeable types are groaning in horror...I will look them up!) and I am not sure whether we want to sound like them, or not! We do work on harmonies and try to make them pretty tight and interesting arrangements rather than just three-note backing. It is quite a challenge for WWW to do a 25 min set as we normally do longer sets. In some ways I am envious of those who are solo acts with just a guitar to cope with in practical terms. It must make it less stressful! With all the instruments it is difficult to get things to appear unrushed and flow smoothly from one song to another. Our general feeling is that in a set of 25 mins, we try to fit in quite a few songs and limit the chat between, because, that seems to make it worthwhile us, (especially me!) lugging so much gear about. We are very grateful to T & G for their long-suffering patience and good nature about doing the sound for us as it is not an easy job and they make it look as though it is. We really enjoyed the night and thought it was very varied. Thanks to all who played, supported/helped etc.

Beat me to it Villan! TAS rank with the Ink Spots as major influences in my early musical career. My old mum and dad loved 'em and I think it passed on through their genes to me. Very fond memories indeed of my mum dancing round the kitchen singing 'Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy' with me in her arms - must have only be two or three. And The Ink Spots' 'I Could Make You Care' still brings me out in goosebumps. Aaaaahhhh, there's lovely!

Just landed back home. Thanks, folks for a great evening. Les, great club, you know how to pull the punters (50+, I believe), and Dave's Lincolnshire sausage was great. I wanted a second go, but Vanessa stopped me in case I got the habit. Terry and Gwenda's sound management was brill, and Sooz as MC managed the whole evening with exemplary accuracy (5 mins off, I know, but so many clubs overrun these days!) and great panache. As for the turns, I'll reiterate: We had the fire of "Cigarettes" (Paul and Will), great harmonies from Wild Wolds Women, and a great malt "Whiskey" in John's voice. Plus the most comfortable club seating I know!

My most memorable moment was a personal one, though, as I don't think anyone else noticed: In the last verse of the encore ("Sound the horn"), turning towards where Vanessa was seating as I sang the line "...my girlfriend there will meet me...", only to see the poor lass slumped and sleeping peacefully (24 hours since her return from OZ and jetlagged to lethargy).

And now I'll get it in the neck for letting on...

Thanks Faldingworth!

Eeeeek! Just back from a weekend away and read the thread...I am still not too sure whether I am flattered re the Andrew's Sisters, lol! So much for us trying to be female musicians singing music relevant to today, haha! Mind you, their harmonies were pretty good, I have to admit!
That song you mentioned, GS, was, I think, 'Wherever' which I wrote about my home town. It has some wonderful memories for me. Each verse is about a different stage of my life that I remember with fondness. A happy childhood, well, a happy life, I guess. I tend to feel a bit embarrassed when we play that as it seems self-indulgent, singing about your own memories, so personally. That night, it was definitely not our best performance of it, mello cello blamed the wine she had been drinking but I think we almost got away with some very 'interesting' timing on it. The only recording is an old one I did when I first wrote it but we are currently working on our 2nd WWW cd and hope to have it finished this summer, with that song included, I think.
I am now going to look up 'The Ink Spots', Strolling'and try to find the song you mentioned.
Maybe if you sing that song on a night when WWW are there, you may hear a few harmonies in the choruses!
