DB why I'm not surprised to hear that response from you. Personally I'm glad it been deleted, not the sort of thing (excuse the pun) to put on Mudcat, anyway Dave wasn't even aware it had been plastered on the site, which is a bit OOT to say the least.

I can assur you that dave gave his permission - he may have been drunk at the time - but he did.

Shelagh - have a look at Micca's photo in last year's Mudcat calendar, all he's wearing is a strategically placed tankard ! Dave Kenningham still had his jeans on.

Anyway - the piccies might have improved his image !

Thats not permission when your drunk. If everyone took up what we said when we were drunk, god we could all be in trouble.

Wasn't talking about what DK had on but what the Lady didn't have on! there is not problem about this for his Birthday surprise, but plastered on the site, bit degrading in my opinion. It's the sort of thing that most men wouldn't have a problem with, note I say most, not all, but as I said it's my personal opinion.

Oh god, I hope no-one plans anything like that for my 60th birthday in about 18 months time (hint, hint).

I would have thought that pictures showing such an attractive young lady (I assume you'll credit Rhona with that) wrapped round him would quite boost DKs ego.

Dave did!! - I've been drinking with him tonight.

He said "The only thing wrong with that strippo gram lark, was YOU LOT WERE THERE!"

The person who published it does not have a computer, They used mine. So I take full responsibilty, that's why I deleted it the following morning and handed the negative to Dave!

Never heard of him! He's not that old geezer that sings Mona Lisa, is he?

Subject: RE: FOLKMOB
From: GUEST,Dave
Date: 10 Mar 03 - 04:17 PM

I'm trying to remember if Ian Petrie sings Mona Lisa - It's pretty popular now - I think we have Bill G to thank for that - He seems to be singing it as much as I used ( note the used ) to sing Ride On.

Can anyone give some more background to Ian Petrie - A good 10mins introduction always goes over well - It shows something that the Tudor Barn club has survived this cold winter - Singers, performers and those who just like to listen etc made the effort to come out on some real bad weather nights. Thanks to everyone who did. The majority of people leave after having a good/very good/excellent night - Sometime it does not work more often than not it does. - And the fact that it has been working for over ten years proves that.

Come down to this Wednesday's PA night - I have heard a rumour that Vicky will be appearing and will have available her 1st CD for sale.

Having read Guest comments I cannot wait to go and see what it is like. Nothing can be that bad - Why do they want a sound man in a folk club?. Anyway I shall perhaps go down tomorrow just to see if he or she is right.
I do not know much about guitars - Is a Yamaha a guitar - What does FG 180 stand for?

That "guest" definitely wasn't me!

Mind you - I have to agree with JohnB why does a folk club have a sound man?

A yamaha is a guitar FG180 is just the catalogue no. for that paticular model.

Be good to see you down there JohnB!

The question is not so much why does a folk club have a sound man as why does a folk club have a sound system. An unmanaged PA is the worst option of all !

During the 60s and for most of the 70s, Folk Clubs did not need to use sound systems. Occasionally a guest act would bring one with them, but that tended to be the exception rather than the rule. In some large venues (eg Dartford Folk Club amplification is neccessary, but in many others a bit of sensible arrangement makes it perfectly possible to manage without. One of the problems with amplification is that it tends to create a barrier between performer and audience and inhibits audience participation - Linda and I got some strange looks from people, when we joined in with choruses at Dartford recently - even though the guest, Vin Garbutt, had asked everyone to join in.

I recently organised a comemorative concert in The Tudor Barn and we decided to do it without the PA. We had a wonderful evening with great chorus singing and none of the performers had any problem getting their songs over, because there was a lot less background noise.

I have to agree with Dave.

Could the "guest" with no name who posted on this thread on 11th of march (crap place etc) own up? - 'cos I'm getting blamed for it!

Date: 12 Mar 03 - 07:19 PM

Sorry about that - I really cannot understand some of the comments on this thread. Tonight some great acts had the opportunity to play at the Tudor Barn -including Vicky who has just released her CD, Bill who has given me the chance to listen to and take in some great new and old songs - Pipper and Matthew who are young and gifted singer/songwriters - Keith who has supported the club for longer than I can remember and who is another gifted songwriter- Brian - another talented artist who plays at numerous local clubs - Kevin - a good singer who somehow gets everyone to join in the chorus - and Mike a newcomer who stayed to the end and asked for details as he wants to revisit. Not to forget Paul on the sax - a superb instrumentalist.
There were also those there who could not play since the list was full.
Please come along one Wednesday and make your own mind up. You will be very welcome.
