The only name I have for sure is Steven (or Simon) the one from Chesham. The others, one has cancelled and the other two have not contacted me yet, but they should just turn up. If not, it's more "Run to the Sea" etc. And tes see you at Letchworth happy in the thought that John is doing all he can at his end to advertise you on Sunday.

Hi Martin - I forgot to say it's the Bulls third birthday about now; so another reason to celebrate

How I remember those early years; three of us huddled in a bath; lit by a candle; eating fish heads; and singing folk songs by Schubert; Guru waving her long locks in the beer; zany mouse telling JB to bog off; piers telling us all about his friend Geoff; and everyone battling to be heard over the juke box, air conditioner, squeaky hinges; barking dogs; the hand drier in the gents; the sizzling of guitars burning etc.

The good old days

There was going to be Turtle Soup, but they cancelled, and I hope another girl who plays with her dad (who's name I can't remember) maybe you will know it. They played at The New Roots a few years ago and I sometimes see them about, so I invited them as well.

According to the 'Sound Judgement reader's reviews' in the
Living Tradition mag (59), Bram's CD 'The Night is Young' is 'trully listenable . . . solid lyrics and infectious melodies . . . warm, rich voice . . . gorgeous harmonies . . well-honed arrangements . . . veritable winner'.

And he wrote 'Dracula'.

Martin - I thought you were making Turtle Soup - that's a relief as I love our wonderful sea creature thingys

Did Bram really write Dracula - I thought that was Agatha Christie

Looking forward to it all - honestly; if I can get me ABO lifted

You played very well Ross. Just as the bloke said you clear and could hear every word, which is important when you sing such great songs. Next time we will have to get Bert to record it and then you will have a Ross live CD. Woooooo.

Goodmorning everything is still great. I hope I can make Robb Johnson Ross, my back is playing up something cronick. If not I will see John about swopping my half of the prize for two credits at The Spotlight Club.

one credit, but you do your exercises and be there on Friday

On your front and stretch up by pushing gently with your hands thereby raising your shoulders away from the ground

On your back, raise one leg and hug knee to chest, then do same with other leg

On your back, raise one leg straight until vertical, then cross it over to touch the ground on the other side thereby twisting the back.

Bend knees when lifting and keep your back straight, never reach over or bend to grasp any thing!!

Attendance near to 30 at the mo

Ouch that's even worse. I've just seen the doc and he has signed me off until Tuesday and then my holiday to St Ives begins (I Hope). And my TV has broken down. What next? PS Bram Taylor was not using your pick so no £1 sorry.

Corr - that's a tough one - I didn't know many there

But thanks for a great night Martin; music, fireworks and hot potatoes were super

There were Bert and Pat, Ian & Selina, Simon & his mum, the duo (Chris and Andrew), Daniella & husband, Bram & table of 4?, two behind (from Pirton?), Ron, Martin and me

20 and Milly the barmaid? - I got confused - I'm sure there was twenty

Hope your backs getting better - my granny always reckoned it's best to cover your back in treacle and let a cow lick it off under a full moon - hope that works!

I tried to mingle but they wouldn't let/have recognised me - they said - clear off ya smelly local
