This is an early warning call to all you nice people who like to be involved in open mike night performances. The Milkmaid is holding its last open mike on the 29th of this month 'till the autumn. The list is now open and if you book a spot you are guaranteed to play. By turning up on the night it would be in the lap of the gods. At the moment the list is half full, so it looks as if it is going to be a good one. Names to me please on this thread or to my p. m.

An update for our open/singers night on the 17th April. We are trying a new format. There are six spots that can be pre-booked and four guarenteed spots for the first come first served visitors on the night. We are hoping that this will make it easier for the organisers and the sound engineer to plan the evening to ensure the audience are accommodated. AND to give the performers a good exposure.
At this time we have one booking and one contacting tomorrow.

This Friday 13th at the Milkmaid we have the internationally acclaimed Roland Chadwick from Australia. From Wollongong NSW he plays anything with frets but mainly guitar on which he has adapted his classical training to the folk styles.

In support on a return visit is the ragtime guitarist Peter Jackson. As well as the normal Joplinesque music Peter plays superb Irish airs both in the classical finger style. Super.

Brian is still trying to tie down the floor singers.

Oh, I thought it was an alternative to The Lemonade Lady, sort of in the middle of the field, Lark Rise to Candleford styleeee.....with warm frothy milk, direct from the 'tap' of nature....

Milkmaids Abounding


We sell loads of 'cow stuff' in The National Trust shop these days. Cow egg cups, salt and peppers, (really) toast racks, butter dishes, pinnies, teatowels...Yup, Cows are the new 'black'...far outsassying chickens...

I think we should sell Milkmaids too though, they'd go like hot cakes! ;0)
