Subject: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: My guru always said Date: 15 Nov 02 - 04:27 AM Come-All-Cats, The next singaround / session at the Bull PH in Barton-le-Clay, Beds. MK45 4LL is on Monday 18th November from 8.30pm. All acoustic instruments & voices very welcome at this cosy venue and we're always glad to see new faces :-) It's held fortnightly to run in tandem with the music workshop which is hosted by the University of Luton on alternate Saturday mornings. Come if you can - if not, the next one's on Monday 2nd December - pop it in your diaries! See you then..... May you always have music |

Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Oaklet Date: 15 Nov 02 - 05:32 AM The Sloop sessioneers are hyperventilating now to get nicely worked up for an appearance soon, but not on the 18th. |

Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: My guru always said Date: 15 Nov 02 - 07:29 AM Dear Oakleaf me old lettuce: Wonderful News from Hull *s* Will start lobbying for appropriate floorspace & bears just in case you guys make it down the A1 sometime. Obviously will lay in (not me personally you understand) stocks of Superglue & ask for the heating to be turned up for any naked bassoonists! Piersy: Lovely to see that you guys are going to have more fun in the Shed on the 20th, I'll make a note in my diary! Am surprised by your mention of car parking & beer at the Comfort Hotel, where did you find that? By the way, Anne Lister will be our headliner at the Comfort Hotel, St Albans tonight (15th November), come if you can, it's likely to be another fab evening with Breezy! (Piers - let me know if you need a flypast) Next week at the Comfort Hotel (Friday 22nd November) I'll be trying to support George Papa-G who's our Headliner (Clive Rothwell supporting too!). George has been writing the most wonderful songs for the last 18 months or so, he's cut 3 cd's so far with another one due out in February (I can't wait). This man is really worth listening too, please come along if you can *s* |

Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Piersy Date: 15 Nov 02 - 09:04 AM I was actually referring to the Sportsman, Croxley Green, nr Rickmansworth for the Friendly Earth Acoustic Club, as opposed to the Come Fart Hotel for venue, parking, beer, Good Music still applies though. Would love a flypast, cheers mate! Piers |

Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Piersy Date: 18 Nov 02 - 09:52 AM I like the one about the cat who plays the tuba, and ends up being thrown out of the local brass band, for being too butch - classic. |

Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: My guru always said Date: 19 Nov 02 - 04:26 AM Well, what an outrageous evening that was! Thanks to everyone for making it another hysterical Barton session, one for the hystery books! Thanks too for making the choice between those two songs for my spotette on Friday - Last of the Great Whales or Reynardine - both such wonderful songs, I really couldn't decide. I'm amazed that Ross wrote that song about the Cat & the Tuba after Piersy's inspired thread & had it ready to sing by the time the session started. What a song-writer he is & what a catchy chorus!! And as for Piersy's new 'goldfish song' (what's the title then?), well, that's a good singalong too, such talent! Though I think it's very sad that the real goldfish is so ill. So - Ross, Piers - please post your lyrics & show these Cats the fun we're having in Barton..... |

Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: My guru always said Date: 19 Nov 02 - 04:27 AM Hey Ross, we've cross-threaded! Thanks for the lyrics!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Ross Date: 19 Nov 02 - 05:38 AM No problem Have a good session on Friday - knock them dead In a nice way, of course |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Piersy Date: 19 Nov 02 - 05:39 AM Last night was indeed outrageous, thanks very much, I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Ross, that song is hilarious, I am deeply impressed. Will find the lyrics to 'Big Glass Bowl' and post them soon. Don't forget people: the Friendly Earth Acoustic Club on Wednesday in Croxley Green, Rickmansworth or Hil with Clive and George in St Albans on Friday. |

Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Ross Date: 19 Nov 02 - 05:48 AM Whatever happened to that William Guest geezer Such a nice bloke - almost as nice as Mr mad axe murderer Sorry Piersobaby, I won't be able to make this Wednesday But I will come along soon Many thanks for supporting the Bull (and the University) sessions Have a nice day Or if you're Klingon - Today is a good day to die |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: My guru always said Date: 19 Nov 02 - 05:50 AM As a matter of interest there's a good singaround in the Bell in Benington tonight. Or at least I think it's tonight.... Last time I went a week early.... I'll phone them. |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: My guru always said Date: 19 Nov 02 - 08:06 AM No, I tell a lie, we've missed the one in Benington for November (lucky I phoned). The next one's on the 10th December. Hmmm, does that mean I've got a free evening? Perhaps this event is a distinct possibility?? |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Piersy Date: 19 Nov 02 - 09:21 AM MGAS It would be wonderful if you came long, we are going to have such fun, and it is a great little place to sing in. A great warm up for Friday. Rossobaby - That William Guest was alright but a bit of a dreamer, and I am a borg not a klingon. Have a nice day yourself! Piers |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Bullfrog Jones Date: 20 Nov 02 - 04:15 AM I seem to be missing from Ross's list -- I'm pretty sure I was there, although it may have just been a bad dream as Breezy was there as well! BJ |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: breezy Date: 20 Nov 02 - 04:27 AM I remember a dark horse but I may have been dreaming too |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: My guru always said Date: 20 Nov 02 - 04:30 AM BJ: You were definitely there - I remember specifically! We're eagerly anticipating your next appearance, when you have a spare other Monday of course :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Cllr Date: 20 Nov 02 - 07:32 AM Just a note from Ross's klingon comment, I prefer the dwarvish version "Today is a good day for someone else to die"Cllr |
|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: GUEST,Captain Kirk Date: 20 Nov 02 - 08:03 AM Sorry Bullfrog I'll put you on the list - perhaps I wasn't at that session Can I list you as Bullfrog Jones?

|
Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: Bullfrog Jones Date: 21 Nov 02 - 09:02 AM You'd remember if you were there, Ross. That was the night that the landlord bought everyone a drink, and Hilary become so intoxicated by an unaccustomed second half of lager shandy that she did a streak round the pub singing 'I've Got A Luvverly Bunch of Coconuts'. I'm surprised no-one mentioned it. BJ |
|

Subject: RE: Singaround: Barton, Beds.UK 18 November From: My guru always said Date: 21 Nov 02 - 11:17 AM Bugger, I thought I'd got away with that - serves me right, I usually only drink bitter! Actually I think BJ did come along on a non-Ross night, I recall Rhiannon hosting on my behalf & Breezy being sneaky... Hope you can get along again soon BJ *s* I've still got 'Poor Murdered Men' & the 'John West' song going round in my head but it'd be nice to hear them 'live' again. |
