Plenty of scope here, Smallpiper. What was that about Cara's members playing with each other in churches9?

Just posted this on old thread, but thought I would copy onto this one in case it gets missed.

Ref singers/musician discussion. Have not been on for a couple of days. I don't have anything to contribute on the subject that has not been eloquently expressed by my peers already. I have my feet firmly in both camps. I love to sing, and I thoroughly enjoy accompanying the tune-meisters also.

I was aware of the unusual balance of musicians v singers at Nellies on Sunday, and in my capacity as m/c tried my best to accommodate all to everyones satisfaction. I hope I managed to acheive that. If that wasn't a mixed session, then I don't know what is. We sang. We played. We had bear. We had fun. That's what it is all about for me. My sincere thanks to all who attended. May there be many more enjoyable days like that.

Personally, I was extremely pleased to see so many musicians for a change. It has been said often of my session (by musicians) that they don't want to attend due to the high number of singers. It has also been said (by audience/pub regulars) that it can be a bit too finger-in-yer-ear depressing. This is an image that I wish to eradicate. There is room for everyone. I hope you all come back in September.

Once again, many thanks. Peter Dean.

Specky, will you do me a favour and send me the cuttings? I will pm you with my address and buy you a case of Moet for your trouble, but I might forget about that bit. Punch the Horn is poor, but better than Paunch the Hearse. See you soon and please be gentle with Smallpiper.

That would involve little drinking time as the demand for provision would be so great.... hey you could do it for a munf then on the vast amount of money you make you could hire a teetotaller to drive you around (but not a monkey cos they'd eat your bannnnnannnnaasss)

And of course you could have a special musical jingle to alert the goodly folk of Hull of your imminent arrival upon said oxen or a special cry in the manner of the rag and bone man - 'Are'nt these cattle little charmers? Buy me bear and sume banananans9!!'

I am of course worried about the effect of cobbled streets on the feet of these animals -is it cruel?

All right, I have had just about enough of this unutterable poppycock. You people have violated all common bounds of decency and good taste in this ridiculous series of "Punch the Horse" threads, and it is becoming so tiresome that I feel I must register a strong, an absolutely vehement protest! Desist at once. This is supposed to be a folk and blues forum, an arena of serious, intelligent discussion of traditional music forms...not a public venue on which to vent puerile humour and hatred toward animals. You people should be ashamed of yourselves! "Punch the Horse" indeed! I refuse to believe that Hull or any city in the English speaking world would put up with your offensive jokes for very long. We certainly do not tolerate it in Twillingsgate. Kindly take your silliness somewhere else.
