Tomorrow-Monday at the Old Cannon Brewery the monthly singaround. Standing room only if you get there after 8:30. Getting more and more popular as time goes by. Super.

There's much to be said of the text on this thread,
I think we may have set a new trend,
But to suggest our good saint is all but dead,
Is wrong, he's alive in Bury St.Edmund (s)

Hello PoppaGator,

Just wanted to note that the Red Lodge is actually some distance outside Bury St., Edmunds, although it has a Bury St. Edmunds address.

Take junction 39 off the A14 then follow the B1506 to your destination.

Sounds fun.......

Folkwaller......I come to Bury St. Edmunds......not to praise him!

I'll get me toga....

Best wishes,


Peter

'scuse me, please, for failing to turn off boldface ;) I meant only to BF the two words "Red Lodge."

Well dang my thingy, what's going on with this thread. Noel Coward, drummers, jokes about Edmund being dead. When did that happen.

Pardon the thread drift, please. I'm taking this opportunity to reach out to folks living in and around Bury St. Edmunds.

If you don't mind, I'd like to mention/promote my brother Paul's rock-n-roll gig this coming Saturday evening, March 14, at the Red Lodge, 70 Turnpike Road, Bury St Edmunds. (For any of you Facebook members out there, see the FB "event" page entitled "Jo's Birthday Bash.")

Yeah, it's not folk, AND it's not an audience-participation singaround or session. Just a good-time "classic rock" cover-band party.

Paul is a really excellent drummer with years of experience in New Orleans, playing with some of the greatest R&B musicians who ever lived: Professor Longhair, Earl King, Allen Toussaint, etc. When he sits down at the drum kit, people invariably get up to dance. Any of you living in that area who might enjoy such an evening, please be advised.

OK, that's it. Sorry for the interruption, and thanks for your indulgence. We will now return to our regularly-scheduled traditional folk discussion.

Noel Coward was your inspiration?

he declined to be in church at the opening day of his play with a retort that is, I think, is marginally funnier

"I come to Bury St Edmunds, not praise him"

It was so popular last month that I thought it a good idea to spread it over two days to give everyone a play.

                BIG SORRY WEDNESDAY IT IS.

Hello Chris,

Both are fairly easy from the A14, but The Bull in Woolpit is the easiest.

Hope to see you at one of the sessions.

BANG!! The Cannon Brewery session is on this Monday 16th 8:30 'ish. We are going to try the nice enclosed and intimate room this time. This is the ideal session for all performers, it is a great sing around although if you are a dancer you may have to perform on one of the tables. Super.
