Au contraire Richard.... neither The Barden, yourself, or I have lost any weight have we?

Sunday, on the other hand, built up a nice head of steam. The second fiddler added considerably to the sound and both were observably improvising to good effect.

Have to compliment Carrie again on the wossname polka - I have only previously heard it margarined and hated it. With all the notes in it is really nice.

Wow! We both had a great weekend. I need to get up with the Essex Girl and Naughty40 so we can swap some songs and maybe learn a couple to perform together.
Thanks for the invite, Growler. The folk at the Good Intent are always so warm and welcoming. Really looking forward to the December do. Must dig out my Ramskyte Dark December CD and see what songs I can resonably lift and not damage too much.

P.S. Thanks to Essex Girl and to Richard Bridge for their very kind offers. They know what I'm talking about. And to all over the weekend for the great music and lovely compliments. Confidence up another notch.

Oops. Almost forgot.

Huzzah to the Host and the Hostess of the Good Intent!
S'all I gots to say.

I should also have said that Fisheye's new Martin 000X1 sounded totally totally wonderful.

Thanks to all those who came; a cracking afternoon.

It's the first time I've been in a pub that had four - yes, four! - draught stouts on. Wonderful (glug!).

Well done, Karen and Dal. Not only for the stouts(!), but for their continuing hosting and support of folk music.

And finally, Happy Birthday to Dal and Growler.

Had a great time on Saturday, I didn't expect to stay so late!! Would love to have made Sunday as well, but had to catch up on more domestic tasks (Washing,Shopping & cutting the grass). Thoroughly enjoyed Tanglefoot. I've out the December dates in my diary!!

Thank you Kevin and Simon for a very good Sunday afternoon of good music. 'The Good Intent' certainly lives up to its name as far as entertainment is concerned. The beer unfortunately i could only try a couple as i was driving, as my normal chauffeur and voice
(George) had a previous engagement.
wishing you a Happy Birthday for today Simon.
regarding the Martin, i need all the help i can get to attempt to sing.

Fisheye

naughtyforty -
You have been pm'd with Auchindoon lyrics as per your request. Someday, I would like you and maybe Essex Girl to learn Advice to the Ladies with me. Some lyrics are a bit raunchy, some very raunchy, very simple melody and easy to remember chorus, but it needs to be performed with attitude and some requisite harrassment of and flirting with the men.

Pete the Hat -
You were peeking over naughtyforty's shoulder at my book o'songs and laughing at "Advice to the Ladies" lyrics. If you can convince naughtyforty to learn it, maybe we can perform it next time we all are met together. la la la

Virginia Tam,
I have no way of convincing Naughty forty to learn anything, but Im sure she would like to have ago depends if she has the lyrics I guess.

After wide debate and consideration during intervals at Rochester who is Rafflesbear ? He/ She. I think you ought to expose yourself so we can all get to the bottom of it.

Thanks Pete. I will PM her about it.

I have been reading the Knockholt thread and I supposed that guest_Rafflesbear was also known as Lady Raffles. Girl Friday responded to a post Lady Raffles put in. Then guest_Rafflesbear replied to Girl Friday re that response. Maybe I'm wrong but that is how I interpreted it.

And this so doesn't belong in this thread. Shrug.

Sorry to Dal and Simon - I forgot to wish you both a happy birthday and just hope it went well.
As always, Dal and Karen made us so welcome and I'd like to give them a BIG BIG THANK YOU for being so supportive. Thanks also to everybody who came - such a lot of lovely voices and playing that I just have a wonderful time. Here's to 20th. December (or maybe earlier)

I can definitely confirm that Rafflesbear and Lady Raffles are two entirely different entities. Try harder folks!

Hey the Barden... there was loads that gave me a shiver on Sunday. Not the least was Fisheye's Martin as mentioned above. The fiddle tunes from Cari??? and the other fiddler (unknown silver haired gentleman ????) Mustn't neglect to say that John, Steve and Norman each took it in turn to make some good tingles. Sorry you missed it.

Girl Friday... I stand corrected on the two Raffles respectively. We will try to get up to Fab Club this weekend. Not promising as Chris has loads of work to catch up on and I am starting new job tomorrow. Fingers crossed, eyes dotted and all that.

WOOT! We are going to B&B and be there for the whole weekend. Christmas present to meself.

My holiday repertoire is so disgustingly Americanised. Thankfully my Ramskyte should help me build something more appropriate.

Which reminds me I need to beg another Ramskyte CD from John Thornton. I only have Dark December and Flickering Light.

Are there any other groups that have made holiday albums?
