Not sure whether that should say unparalleled. Unstable might be more apt- those drums were really shaking. Trev has added stabilisers since that video was made. Thanks Raffles... we owe you one mate.

We shall of course cut out the warts beforehand.

There is an alteration to the billed programme for March 16th

Instead of the advertised singaround we shall have an open mic. showcasing two of our regulars Vicky and Simon. Although, not a paid gig,they'll be doing 2 full sets. There will be plenty of time for floor spots.

We have now got- (arrived this morning), a little gadget that will record either on wav or mp3. It can be used on it's own or connected to p.a. if compatible.We can record live with a view to putting out CDs or uploading to the Myspace.

Should be fun!

Butt Of Lewis are a local band led by a chap from Orpington called John Edwards. The original line-up started out playing at Orpington Friday Folk in the nineties. They now have a new line-up and different material, lot of country and old-timey stuff as well as Irish, and can be found at Croydon Folk and Blues Club, Ruskin House, on Sundays.

The Fox And Hounds is a venue without benefit of TV, Juke Box, or games machine. It does have a pool table, but users are polite enough not to play on a folk night. It has real ale, cider to die for from the pump, excellent grub, friendly staff, log fire, perfect venue to escape to.

I remember that icicle time. My neighbouring house was having an extension built and there were monsters on the scaffolding. My friend climbed up and got them, and we made a snow hedgehog on the lawn. I have a photo somewhere.

In January 1987, 4 months before I moved here, the snow in this road was 3 feet ! In 1991 I had stalagtites of ice descending from the gutter right down the windows. There are just baby ones today

Snow eight inches and still falling in Orpington, Fran rang to cancel at 9.30. Then Les rang, Croydon is awful and IslaSt Clare is due there tonight... think not somehow... Les told Andy and Andy rang me... he's out tobogganing with his kids today.... we've rearranged for June 29th. I do remember snow then, during tennis fortnight. I was working in Wimbledon and was shocked when I looked out of the window. Let's hope it clears for next week eh!

I'm told Wrotham Hill has been closed. 3 ins or so at Bluewater, and still falling - I'm just going to clear the sloping drive again. Major roads seem do-able, but that lane! If it's been blowing at all up there, it will be deeper, and we would only need to come on someone else who had got stuck, and we'd need stuff to see off hypothermia. Shame.

Years back, I met a guy (had spent his day using his Land Rover to haul cars up the above mentioned hill) who told me how his dad had been out in the snow, on the farm, out back of Strood, and lost fingers to frostbite.

A slow start last night, but we welcomed new faces Julie and Eric. Regulars Pete, Ian, returnees Penny and Simon. Simon brought along two of his sons, one of whom sang some fine songs, and joined his dad in a fine rendition of "Hallelujah," We all had to work hard to fill the evening, but it was most enjoyable. Next week we have the Andy Smythe Trio.
