Diz once dropped in at the session at The Miner's Arms in Priest Weston, Shropshire, once. What a night that was.

Lucky people! Johnny is a big talent, and a real nice guy. First time I clapped eyes on him he was decked out in a kilt and all the trimmings---and singing the "Mingulay Boat Song"! My last contact was at Irvine Marymass folk fest., about 5--6 years ago.Wish I could be there; the Atlantic kind of

Many years ago when I was a student I went to the uni folk club and Diz was the main act. Following my floor spot he insisted that I joined him on stage and played "When the Saints go marching in". I didn't have much option! Then he proceeded to play it in about 50 different keys!..... I have never forgiven him!!!

Steve Benbows Protege - Is there any chance of getting your mentor there as well ? - It's not that far from Hanwell and only just down the road from "The Brewery Tap". That would really make a fantastic evening.

Linda and I are definitely planning to be there on Wednesday - hope the beer's good.

These two played at Cleckheaton folk festival 2 or 3 years ago, to say they were brilliant would be an understatement.
If you've never seen them go along and treat yourself, they are priceless.
...............and I defy anyone to drink along with Diz !!!

Noel Murphy would have seen Diz under the table at one time !

Still at one time Diz had the perfect vehicle for being DEAD drunk in - a hearse.

Don't discount the capacity of Mr. Silvo! Unless he has had a rebirth, I believe his tipple is Glenmorangie.......
