The Marlborough Club, Newstead Street, Chanterlands Ave, Hull
on Thursday, starts around 9.
It's a singers/musicians night, others going include Bassic, El Ted, Les from Hull, s6k, sweetfire etc etc.
Greg is travelling from far away, so lets see a good turnout.

also, can any local mudcatters offer Greg a bed, or floorspace for thursday night?

anyway=hull is famus fpor fishing, so if you like fishing, go to hull,
and theire is even a fishing museum, and les did the leeflit for it, wehen he worked for the council, but that was ages ago, [he's getting old now, [thats why he fell off his bike, because he is to old]

he probably needs putting in a home, so them old folk home people can look after him].

bassic used to work for the council as well, he's getting old as well. [i think he's about 84, not sure really].


anyway=i deliver currys to one old folks home, and one woman there is called jEnny, and she's really nice.

s6k- re the currys, i could have easily have sorted some free food out, but i did not want to interrupt the music!

thanks, to ebertytyone that went and sing and played tunes etc, it was really nice.john



ps=next time, i might make some jacket potaoes, [every body likes them, and easy to cook, [just throw them in the oven!]

or sandwidges, [cheese, or tuna etc]

Thank you, Les from Hull. Only on Mudcat could a post like mine have been answered so accurately and wittily. I will be be your straight man any time....though I fear the audience for our cross-talk act could be a bit specialist.
