stop pressurizing Martin, he wants his spotlight.

Dont take any notice of treewind Martin, you know its Mike Sparks mbe you'll not want to miss on Friday, cos he's on your shopping list with his entertaining songs that you must get to Barton.

Now Martin,
Don't you listen to that dreadful breezy character. He'll tell you anything to get you to come to his club.
Look what happened to poor El Greco - fame, fortune, and all because he sang at Snorbans......
Do you want that to happen to you?
See you on Friday,
Mary

Yes, I sold my soul to the Hairy One in return for fame and riches.
Well, riches...
Bugger it, I've been done!

Mary's bitter cos she turned me down because I wasnt a real ram that night at Redbourn.

I was a singer in a sheep's skin



and she's a bell ringer.


Whose this El Greko person anyway? Is he the one of the CD launch on the Friday 19th March at the Duke Of Marlboro, in St Albans [free admission -buy raffle tickets]

Sorry Anahata and Mary cos I've already said I would go and see Janet and Indie play at The Maltings weeks and weeks ago, before I promised to come and see you two, but I will make it up to you some how.Hopefully I will see you before Oct 11th but this Folkie thing is so mad, I just might not. Have a nice time where ever you are.

Its a hard life for a hard working Muso - All these good things going on when I am being paid to be elsewhere. Still, some of you might come to Ampthill in April.

If its cutting edge songs then you know where we are, if its an evening of tunes by profesional musicians you're after ,then you know where to go.

You could do worse and go to a folk club where not everything is predictable and you can heckle and be heckled.

Enjoy yourself wherever .

we'll keep a welcome by the fire side
We'll keep a welcome at the Duke
So if you dont come to Mike Sparks
We' ll assume you've gone to Flook

And if you are a poet I don't know it. Michael watch out. If I do make it to the second half of Mike Sparks, do I get another credit or not?

Down at the Duke the banter's sharp, and cutting the songs they sing,
Breezy's there, going his own sweet way, so Sparks will command the floor.
But tonight we've lured by Irish wit, the flute and bodhran skin,
But by next week we'll be back at the Duke, and be wild rovers no more.
