Looks like we have evidence here of malice aforethought so that would likely be murder.

I am now alas almost certain to no-show (except just perhaps late afternoon) as a result of work problems.

Also unable to get hold f Big Dick - therefore if I do get there (late) the guitar will be with me. Sorry about that, but work has to come first.

Well a massive huge thank you to all who came and those that stayed behind, after the dancing finnished, we took repaste within the warm cosy pub, seamus as usual refused to dance or sing so he went home early, obvious and treacle not only got there late but also didnt dance they did however did sing but as they sing above the human hearing spectrum only those with ferret interpretation devices could hear them, they both said a big thank you to virginia tam for thier toy, as did seamus for his lovely apples, the landlady had nothing but praise for all those that turned up and has declared the pub to be a folky pub whenever you want it, previous bookings allowing, once all the monies are counted i will post the amount for demelza, thanks to those that chipped in. sadly late afternoon saw the main bar taken over by bikers from the adjoining pub, but as most singers and players had either gone home or upstairs to the main room, the juke box had to go on, but sharon hopes that it didnt disturb anyone, if it did she is sorry, well april is to be another free folk day, and hope it will be a pre season warm up for you all,

Had a great afternoon, enjoyed the singing (especially Virginia Tam) the company and the beer. Grandson Louis went to bed still talking about ferrets. We will definitely be up for the April Folk day, hopefully we'll get to meet Seamus the horse then. Thank you Romany Man you made it happen.

An excellent day Romany man and I am sure many will be looking forward to next April's meeting. The room upstairs was perfect for the quieter singers, the only downwner was the trips up and down for beer and food, but a small price to pay for a wonderful day.
To those FolkMoby's that never attended you missed a wonderful day, silly buggers.

Thanks for picking up my mug ken, I've never left it behind before! I agree with everyone else in that it's a grand pub, great food & beer and a good landlady. I'll look forward to the next one!!

Thanks Romany man for letting Sharon know I would like to have helped her but I do not know anybody who plays Irish music on Fiddle and guitar that well enough to ask and lord knows those that I do know when I will see again.
Thanks again Ken.

I kept scanning list of threads I have posted to and could not find it. Now I see it is the thread that devolved into house hunting operation.

Pleading lunacy. It is a full moon and I did warn you guys.

RM, my dear, you're just going to have to share. I know, I am just another bloody foreigner coming over here taking all the moonwaves.

You would not believe what it was like between my daughters and me a decade ago, when the moon was full. Scary. Even now, I feel it, I've got headache, feel dull and confused and easily upset. Sigh. It will pass in a few days and you can have the village back.

RM - Would you want me round during full moon? I am not nice. In fact I can "curm" with the best of them. But now it's going off the full and I have a bloody sore sore throat. No singing for me for a while so my mood has sunk into doldrums. Sigh.

I need to sit and play with Treacle and Obvious. That'd pick up my spirits. Teehee. Just remembering Upnor and Treacle tipping the glass of beer over has me smiling.

There better already.

Trevor is home, taking it easy. Most of his guitars aren't here, even if he did have the energy for playing. He is writing a blues about heart attacks! It was a good day, apart from the stairs. If they could take that lovely function room down to street level....

Latest on recovering heart patient. I have just scoured the internet for, and printed the leaflet that he imagined he'd brought home from the hospital. He's busy reading it. He's eating less rubbish and more fruit. Sleeping a bit during the day, but going to bed earlier and getting up by 8 am. He musn't go outside in wet and windy weather, so today he's a couch potato refining his aimlessly mooching about indoors skills. Before I saw the dos and dont's I got him to unscrew a jar of pasta sauce. He mustn't do that. He's watching Coronation Street, we haven't watched soaps for about 3 years. Half an hour of Corrie later and he's looking for something else to do. Time for tea.
