Hmmm... I didn't realise that such an innocent posting would tread on sensibilities!

Just to clarify, no slight was intended to Phil. I saw Drohne for the first time earlier this year, and they were billed as "Drohne"!

Having lived most of my adult life abroad, I'm afraid I don't have the full background of "who played with who" in Britain over the last few decades, so I don't have his musical background or possible god-like qualities in my memory banks! Sorry!

The important thing is to thank him for doing such a great set at the GI, and to say what a really talented and creative musician I think he is!

(I'll bring the incense next time!) :)

It's Phil Martin on the hurdy-gurdy ,he's a god, one of the two best players in England and you can't remember his name!!!! shame on you Kevin, However, I'll agree with you that Richard Bridge, made thar basic system sound professional

I'm sorry you weren't there yesterday, Pete - I was looking forward to a bit of shushing!

Thanks to all who came yesterday; it was a great afternoon. It was especially nice to see Chris from the Shiny Bums (all the way from Australia), and "Tam Junior" (don't she sound like her mum?! - that's a compliment, by the way!). Thanks also to The Owl Service and the hurdy-gurdy player from Drohne (whose name escapes me) for the evening performance, not forgetting Richard Bridge, who got a really nice sound for them with fairly basic equipment.

Thanks, as always, to Karen and Dal for their support, the great venue and the great range of beer they put on (which didn't quite freeze, although I think Dal nearly did, standing outside all day serving it!).

And a happy new bear (as Pete puts it!) to all our readers (Grrrrr)!

What a excellent day I throughly enjoyed meself and it was good to see people I have not seen in a while. There was some great songs and talent shown on Saturday, a very well done to all singers players and Tap dancers.
Thanks to Fisheye and Babs for the lift there and back.
Great to meet Tams daughter from acoss the pond they both have equal voice when it comes to singing.
Lead fingers Christmas song the funny version was very good which inspired me to sing a funny song.(1st time.
It was good to see John Barden who arrived after working to join in the fun and to lead a excellent "RIDE ON" which rounded of a perfect day of music and laughter.
I was somewhat surprised to see Richard Bridge tuning up his Mandolin in the delightful ceramic acoustics of the pubs toilet.
"Still better then slipping Arse over Head outside I suppose"

Indeed there were Two versions played of
                     Over the hills and far away.
                      The King George version
                   & The Queen Anne version.
I have been told there are a lot of variations of this song and quite a few verses that are not used by myself or Richard so I on the ineternet tonight to see if I can find them.

In the mean time I hope the Sunday singeround was just has good has the Saturday and if I have not been working I would have joined you today has well. Looking forward now to next year and all the events I plan to go too in 2010.
Happy Christmas everyone and a happy newe bear

Friday night went very well. About 15 of us. The guests arrived safely plus parents. There was a threat of early bar closure if it snowed again, but it held off. James's birthday went ofrf ok eventually. One older brother, resident in Chatham, couldn't drive up, so took the train. Arrived well late. No snow left in Dartford , but bitterly cold there,as here. Tried to ring the pub this afternoon, but nobody answering. Leopards in hibernation. Merry Christmas everybody.

Norman is transporting Jan Barden in to hold the fort for Santa Bard, and I'm heading that way on the pubic (well they do have a lot of cock-ups) transport system.

See you all there, I hope.

Just remember we have our civic duty to perform, by ensuring all that beer doesn't go to waste.

What about No Worries? Will they be there? I mean John Barden hasn't even come onto this thread and he is leading a session.

no Kev the Clogs or Dilligafxx either...

Where's all my Kent friends?

Hope Wolf's Head Vixen show up and dance. Would be great for Hilary to see some Morris Dancing, but also want to know how that girl who was just learning guitar last year has got on. She was amazing for only few weeks learning.

To return to the case in point, Dal has racked the beers and is running around , trying to find ways of keeping it at room temperature. Having encased them in copper pipes with warm water running though them, it appears that he may have achieved his goal. I hope to prova him right

I think that you may be chipping it off, by the lump, rather than the pint, although I hear that Dal has a cunning plan, involving warm water and copper pipe. He has never let us down so far, we will see
