How's it going with the sing tomorrow???

Think it's unlikely that we'll be able to join you tomorrow, though we'd love to. If we're able to could we just turn up & not worry about the fish & chips??

And do you have any other dates sorted???

Cheers,
Hil

Some of these narrow boats ain't so narrow! I'm sure someone will be able to come up with a picture for you.

Sounds like real fun. But is this a "narrow boat"? I find it hard to envision how many folks you could pack in for a song ellipse. Could you provide a link to a picture of the boat?

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

I'll speak to the owner of Tarn as she should be back at the marina after her refit by the 28th Jan, then I can stay on board. (The boat not the owner!!!!)

Even further from Lincolnshire, Vicky - ask your mate Chris T! If you can do a weekend, I'll try to get down for it.

If you can ever have sessions at a weekend I might be able to make it - it's quite a long way from Hastings to Uxbridge!!

Hi there Skipper - 22nd Dec is a bit short notice, but if you are doing it again in the new year maybe we could get a bunch of your old folkmob friends over there in a minibus?

Incidently you have been badly missed in the Eltham & Knockholt regions of the planet!

hello Guru
Give us a bell before 4pm on the day so I can get your fish and chip order. The fish and chips aren't compulsary though.
I think you may have responded to the orriginal thread I put on "Folk on the water". I changed it as someone mentioned there was already a folk on the water festival.
The barge, Elsdale, is a floating classroom by day, taking kids up and down the canal. Proceeds raised from these music evenings go toward the educational work of the boat. Elsdale is also electrically powered, so no noisey engine to disturb the music.
The boat will probably stay moored up for the sing arounds. But if we get a regular crowd coming and some people are happy to go through crew safety training, we will be able to take the boat for a spin now and then.
Hope to see you there
Vicky the Skipper

Hello, we are trying to start up a music club on board Elsdale II, the West London Floating Classroom. By day its a school boat taking kids up the canal and by night it has a bar on board and is licensed as a music venue.
On the 22nd of December 7.30 to 11pm we will be holding the Boaters ball with live music from the boating community. Tickets £8. Procceeds go towards the boats educational work.
On the 28th of January we will be holding a Fish and Chip Sing Around 7-10pm.
The boat is moored at Packet Boat Marina, Packet Boat Lane, Cowley, nr Uxbridge, UB8 2JJ.
