A cracking weekend of music and song. Thanks to all those who came over the weekend, especially those who had the stamina to make it to the very end on Sunday (I think we were all getting a bit knackered by then)!

Thanks, as usual, to Karen and Dal for supporting the event and for laying on a great selection of beer, and to the mighty Barden for running the Saturday session.

Season's Greetings to you all from melodeonboy (aka the shirt murderer aka 1/3 of Ruff 'n' Reddy).

Next folk night at The Good Intent is on 15th January.

Just wanted to say a BIG thankyou to all the wonderful people who turned up yesterday. It was a fine and very pleasant way to spend a saturday and I for one had a splendid time. Thanks to Karen and Dal who once again were the perfect hosts, and to all the singers and audience. It was great to see people all the way from Southampton, West Ham, Eltham, Orpington as well as those more local to Rochester. Have a very merry Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year.

I'd really been hoping that we could get along to join you all this weekend, but am going to have to do the family Santa run. Leatherhead to Ipswich, Great Yeldham, Newmarket & St Ives on Saturday followed by St Ives, Newmarket & Ipswich on Sunday.

I suppose there's an outside chance that we might make it by Sunday teatime, but you'll probably have finished off all the beer and gone home by then!! (If anyone will have a mobile switched on around that time, could they PM me their number please & we can decide as we approach Dartford crossing?)

Failing that, have a Fab weekend (I know you will *mutter, mutter*), Seasons Greetings & Best Wishes for the New Year to all!!!

JB- surely you've guessed that Guest Bill G is Woodsie- I'll be very surprised if he isn't. I have a bad cold at present- probably cat 'flu, but if I don't make it, the rest of the Leopards will. Ben did very well on the radio. Some of the other performers couldn't believe he'd reached such a high standard in such a short space of time. Please encourage him to perform, you won't be dissapointed.

Merry Xmas

I'm there on Saturday GUEST, Bill G - from about 12:30 onwards, but whichever day you come you will be very welcome. The landlords are really lovely people and support wherever they can too, plus there's a beer festival, then again there's always good beer to be had at The Good Intent.

Here we come a wassailing, along among the leaves,
Which isn't very easy when they're still upon the trees.
Wassail, wassail, I'll tell you wassail,
It comes in bottles brown and pale,
It comes in bottles, green and clear,
So we'll wish you a happy new year!!

It's "Juan BarDin" which, literally translated means "One helluva noise in the bar". Seems about right to me. His wife "Jam BarDin" is the one that grabs lots of people and 'Jams' them into said bar - that's why it's called a 'Jam Session'. So come along on 22nd. December and join in the jam session and make a lot of noise :-).
