just to let you all know that CHESTER is having an extravaganza too.
Well the Raven Folk Club is celebrating 25 years of music and song. with three nights of guests.
Friday 25April is Taggart and Wright with resident band Full House.
Followed on Sat 26 and Sunday 27 with even bigger guests whose names I forgot.

Thanks Harry and back atcher :0)

Martyn Wyndham Read sounds good to me--love Jez Lowe(swoon)--but-- (dare I say it?)--prefer Martyn's music!

Have a good night at The Open Door tonight--wish I was there.

Late breaking news...

Pauline tells me that Jez Lowe won't be appearing at Extravaganza 5 after all, as he's double booked.

He is in America, so we couldn't contact him, but his partner advised us to book someone else...

You can bet the other gig pays better... miaow...

Anyway, we are trying for Martyn Wyndham-Read - any suggestions in case we are unsuccessful?

BTW... Thread Jumper Les had a posting on this thread which seems to have disappeared... he has started his own thread, so why not visit it?! Good on yer, Les!!

You guys still here?? Not looked for a few days--so was supprised to 'see' you.
Great news about Jayne and Amanda. I too am hoping to see them at Limbrick--if I have the stamina for the journey after work!!
John Kirkpatrick is on at The Railway in Heatley this Thursday (I think??)

Would be good if The Open Door was visited by more people--lovely friendly folk and lots of hugs and kisses--not sure whether I go for the music or those!!! Yep--thinking about it--definately the hugs :0)

Hi, Zany....

       Sorry to hear you've not been so good...hope things improve soon! I'm sure something can be sorted re. the camper van and as far as the pub is concerned there's no sale going through at the moment but if it comes to hey, lads, hey we'll just have to relocate...fear not, Extravaganz V will go ahead!

       Take care and lots of love..........Harry and Sara.xxx

Sorry to be so late in adding my congratulations and thanks to all of you for doing such a sterling job. Thoroughly enjoyable and I am looking forward to the next one. Thanks also for making two strangers in town so welcome.

Sadly, a day or two after returning home I went into hospital and am only out on 'weekend leave' so I haven't been able to say thanks before. The memories of a great weekend kept me going though!

Next time we may be the unproud owners of a camper van. Do you know of anywhere to park it?

Another query: I noticed that the pub was up for sale. Is a sale going to affect things?

Damn ! Sorry to have missed all the fun, but to be fair, I was asked to fill in for absent guitarists at the weekly session at the Globe, in Glossop.

This is a rare occurrence for me, so I have to make the most of it.

Let's see if I can make Extravaganza 5.

Is the barter system alive & well in Manchester? Doughnut-maker sounds even better Bernard - or popcorn maker, or ice-cream maker.....

As it stands I was Extremely Impressed with the raffle prizes (despite not being a winner) - the 'Girls Night In' Box was quite intriguing :-)

Better still... I'm sure John can find a doughnut making machine at work! They do gadgets for absolutely everything and anything! Oo-er...!!

Unless, of course, you are suggesting that you pay for your raffle tickets with doughnuts...

Hi! all, thanks for your kind comments about the extravaganza, wasn't it great though! Try my best to keep booking fab guests. Thanks for coming and a big thanks to all the regulars who keep the club going.
P.S. can anyone give me the words to Oh no John, no John, No (nothing to do with our sex life honest). I think it begins 'On yonder hill..
Thanks and look forward to seeing everyone again Flatcap

Sorry it has taken so long for us to respond, we've been rather busy since Sunday! We had a superb time, the extravaganzas just keep on getting better. The mixture of guests and singers worked brilliantly -providing variety of styles and material. Thought Harvey Andrews provided a fantastic finale, thanks to all.

It was great to meet so many Catters! Don't forget the offer, My Guru..., will speak to you nearer number 5!
