Yes, I know it's West Somerset and Folk Station festivals this coming weekend, but it's also Roger's Rant at Milborne St Andrew to raise money for local charities. Derek and I will be running singarounds. More info here.

Know you'll have a Fab weekend, we'll raise a glass from IOW. Hope to get to Roger's Rant next year as it's just the sort of weekend we enjoy.

It was a lovely weekend - some great singing, very informal, enough people to make it comfortably crowded rather than uncomfortably crowded...

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard before and during - especially Roger, Alice, Mike, Lizzy, Viv, Graham, Jenny (the MSA Sports Club Chair and temporary bar person) and Les Sullivan and Bob Kirkpatrick for bar duty as well as singing!

Looking forward to next year.

Yes i would echo. Thankyou to Derek, Kitty, and Roger and all the crowd at Milbourne St Andrew for being so open minded and kind to young Sanjay,

I know he felt quite nervous before he played amd he whispered to me - shall I play the Last Thing on My Mind, as it will fit better with whats going on here. His dad said, yes - do that one!

I said - no, there's lots of people here who are well capable of playing the Last Thing on My Mind - you do, what you do well!

And you were all so kind and welcoming to him. Thankyou so much!
