Thanks everyone for a great evening there - I enjoyed it all immensely (and I haven't just got up, I've been busy. Honestly!). And thanks for the kind words SJ.

(And for those who haven't seen Duncan already, go when you get the chance).

A very good evening indeed. My personal contribution was a struggle against my personal demons, and the less said the better, but everyone else - wow! Paul & Lucy, Stitherum (a.k.a. Sooz & GUEST: Mr. Sooz) were well up to their usual high standard and, IMNSHO, it was a delight to hear Jane Kitchen solo doing the stuff she's best at (don't fret about the wayward tuning lass, happened to me too - I put it down to cold wood versus warm body (that's my excuse anyway)! LOL!).

Duncan McFarlane was a revelation - a one-man folk-rock band if ever there was one - and Mick Pearce was, well he was Mick Pearce (and those who've heard him know exactly what I mean!). Two great sets from two very nice and highly talented guys.

Bring on the next lot Les - can't wait!

I will do my best GS. As you say another incredible evening. Everybody performed their socks off, and another great team effort.

A big thank you to Mick Pearce and Duncan McFarlane who both provided excellent 45 minute spots.

The same goes to the excellent support acts - John Blanks, Jane Kitchen, Stitherum, Lucy Wright and Paul Young.

I hope Rhiannon gets well soon.

Crap Crap Crap Crap
His car was crap crap crap

While sitting in my Mafia Car
What to my surprise
A little Volkswagen was along side of me
About one third my size
Strollin' musta wanted to catch my eye
As he coudn't get his car to go
I'll show him that a Mafia Car is not a car to scorn

What chance have I got of booking her, if you are unable to.

Your post has probably put another £20 on the bill. :-)

Is that correct - there is a cd with Mick Pearce and Kitty Vernon

I will need to talk to Mick tonight :-)

Maybe you ought to book her Les, shes very useful I want to gig her but she's playing hard to get.
When I go to the Herga club then for me she is the highlight.
Kitty Vernon is one of the Best singers and performers of song in the land. She also duos with Les Sullivan.
Kitty is Well worth a booking.
Get her.

Wish I could be there... should be really good.

Both are strong singers who play guitar.

Mick plays great guitar and doesn't use a capo.

Duncan writes powerful songs, as well as singing them.

Have fun guys!

Now, it hasn't escaped my limited Pooh-bear-brain that each wee exchange here whips the thread back up to the top for a wee while longer - which no doubt raises the Market Rasen gig awareness-factor.

Shameless pluggery for all concerned? Aye, but even if just one extra bod that reads it here walks into ANY folk club, likes it, may be goes again, that's a result for the general good, surely?

'I have to mention her Dunc - she pays the bills !'

Och John, I fully understand lad. When I put that bit in ('usually mentions Julie Ellison though')- it was just me setting you up to get a free plug in - knowing full well she has a benefit gig coming up for Amnesty International (not only in my patch, but one that I'm on at too - with my acoustic band).
That 'ultimate fusion concert' you mention sounds a good idea - ok, who's gonna set it up?

'You'd know idea I was THAT old did you!!!'
Ooops! NO idea - not KNOW idea.
...and I opened this up this aft to find John's comment there. John's been kind enough to be complementary before, bless him. So I don't reckon he's that bothered if I'm 'monitoring' or not.
He just speaks his mind - usually mentions Julie Ellison though (with whom I had the pleasure of sharing a gig at Holmfirth Fest in 02)
I just said yes to appearing at an Amnesty Fundraiser on October 30th with her (and others) - in Otley at the new Courthouse Arts Centre. Might get a chance to meet Mr R properly over a brew there then. Love - Duncan

Breezy, you say 'Ask Mick to do.....Anderson's Coast'
I'll be leaving that one out of my set then.
It's on my solo CD from 2001 - and went well when I did it with Margaret Walters at Alcester Fest, Oxford & Nottingham FCs earlier this year.
Did you know her maternal grandfather was one Duncan McFarlane - a pioneer photographer from Glasgow? (All my family are from Ayrshire) You'd know idea I was THAT old did you!!!
By the way Breezy m'boy - would you kindly resend an address for me to pop posters off to for Oct at St Alb's. Ta - Duncan

Only joking Duncan.
Any chance of yer squeeze box specialist coming along too, Duncan. :-)

Got the flyers JOhn R - I will hand them out this Friday.

Poor old Mick, it looks like Strollin' is going to do a bit of aggro on him :-)

ask Mick to do 'Joshua gone Barbados'

Didnt Graeme do Mike Spark's song '13 Florins' at G'sb?

Mike Sparks puts on a good evening too!!

All these 'names' hail from the Herga Folk Club as do Johnny Collins and George Papavgeris.

and they've all played St Albans.

Duncan is appearing in October.As is MCP.

You wanted to know all that didnt you?

Ask Mick to do 'Eldorado' and also ' Anderson's Coast' so that you can learn the chorus for later in October, just in case.

Actually Strollin', I have a favour to ask you. I really could do with you opening the show on Friday, would you mind. It does have some advantages, in as much as you can sit back and enjoy the rest of the show. I might even buy you a pint :-)
