A day premature, but here it is folks.

Next PTH gig is Durty Nellies, Friday 11th April. But plenty going on before then. Tonight, 31st March is the inaugural Hull/Goole/Selby/Twillingsgate session organised by Bill Sables at the Crown and Anchor, Newport. Festivities commence at 8.30, be there or be a shot hairy leprechaun. If its anything like last week in Barton, it'll be a corker.

Many thanks to Sir Rog for the temporary loan of his guitar at the Sun Session yesterday, returned in tact with a full complement of fingerpicks and capo! Next week sees the return of the now legendary first Sunday Session at that venue, I trust we shall have a full compliment of scruffy folkies in attendance... Indeed, with the weather being so beautiful, I wonder if we shall witness the truimphant return of the Purple Helmets Display Team...??? I shall call Twillingsgate to enquire of their schedule...

A quick note to say it was indeed a pleasure to meet the incomparable Rock Chick this weekend. Hope to see you again in the future, my sweet.

Any gossip, anybody?

Due to a muscles in spasm in my back I will not be able to attend this evening, my Chiropractor is due to give me a going over this afternoon.
However if there are any young ladies (with stilettoes)willing and able I am always prepared to seek alternative treatment.

Deanmeister,
Many, many moons have travelled the skies since I last rode the metal horse.
Although I've still got a little Suzuki K10P (80cc) in bits in the basement. Only second owner from new in 1968, still got the green log book !
Did you cop the definative chords for Jobsworth sent by Mr Taylor himself.

De-Mister, My capo, on the other hand, is a Hodkin and Tonks KR3 with a rodgering spike by Bilston's of Norwich, twin puma-horn fettering spools and a yaks'-tongue angled bogling plinth. It dates from 1915, and stinks like deer's hooves, and always leaves a wet patch on my jerkin.

VFR750F capos are for pansies.

How can someone who scrapes catgut for a living, possibly have any idea about the use of these items, for a start they wear their capo's on their chins and not on the strings as is the accepted manner. Furthermore their machines are limited to 4 strings as they cannot seemingly manage the other two. As the author of a previous thread so rightly states he stinks of deer hooves, and obviously has other problems if he leaves wet stains on his jerkin.

Is that a noun or a verb by the way

I could tell you were WELL practiced at such skillful manouevres ;^) Of course being such a well praticed person at these stunts i dont have to tell you, but i will anyway, you have to be exteremly cleaver / careful not to get your tackle all in a tangle cos you could end up all in a mess!!but being the person you come across as i'm very confiedent you will live to fight many another day.....;o)))

Special thanks to Noreen, Rock Chick and Leadfingers for travelling across the country to visit our pretty corner of the world, to little Rosemary and Kayliegh, and the aurally stunning Rachel (didn't really notice, but I'm told she was quite attractive, too....)

When you've all stopped drivelling (or is it dribbling?), may I draw your attention to the fact that the Equine Pugilists will be appearing, all at the same time, on stage at the legendary Durty Nellies, High Street, Hull, tomorrow night, Friday 11th April.

Hostilities will commence, spookily enough, at 9pm. Strategic experts are predicting a short campaign, enemy forces are likely to be taken by surprise by the latest weapon in the coalition arsenal, code named Nik Nak, and expectations are that all resistance will have been annihilated by 11.15pm, and prisoners will not be taken. Humanitarian Aid agencies have been alerted.

The Hope and Anchor, South Ferriby tonight; outside 'til eightish then inside where I will try to force my nipples back from whence they came. It's gonna be cold on the Humber bank. I am cooking this evening, so there might be a discernable whiff of garlic about the place. The rotten rob-dog now charges £2.45 for a pint of Guinness. Get some cans, people. 9. If you want to buy the pub, its £550,000, or 225,000 pints of the black stuff.

And another thing. There is flood warning. High tide is 21.28 and is being propelled up the estuary by a force 5. If we are cut off, he'll put the prices up by a quid at least.

Garlic, forsooth!!!!!!

My eyes are still burning! From that and other emissions which delicacy forbids me to mention.

I verily believe the very fragrant chap joins his fresians every day to exist on a diet of damp grass, alternating it with a little light grazing in the garlic fields of south ferriby.

Smallpiper, I thank you for your diplomacy. Raggy, where were you when I needed you....???? Have only just recovered from a weekend of abject drunken foolishness. I bow to Johnny-boy's superior skills in the art of Alcohol consumption. Thursday night is a total blur, as was the first half of friday. Oh, well. I possess skills in other areas.....!

Saturday night was a joyous occasion, reuniting with brother Oakley for musical frivolity, marred only by his singular lack of breasts and the reek of garlic emanating from his every pore! And Sunday night was splendid at the Sun Inn with the lovely Nik-Nak. A top weekend, and thanks to all who kept me out of trouble.

And I have given up Whisky forever.

Could I draw the attention of PTH regular readers to the OBIT-Sue Johnson, Piper, thread. Many of you have contributed already but others who knew here as just "Sue" may not realise as she has not been well enought to play her pipes in public for some time. Ta.

I am bereft. There is a two week lull in hostilities. The campaign will be resuming at Durty Nellies, Hull, on Saturday 10th May, with brother Oakley in residence.

However, skirmishes will occur at the Sun Inn, Beverley, the next two Sundays, firstly on Sir Roger's Battleground, then on mine. Hope to see some of you there? At least those who aren't in Whitby! Who's away?
