Great session Lynne, I really enjoyed it. Just goes to show you can please everyone. If only Maureen hadn't got the giggles in the middle of her song...

Even better than last June, I thought. We all sat outside on the decking outside the pub again and sang and played. Loads of brilliant and enjoyable talent again. Sadly Sally and the Shot Dogs couldn't make it, but we had all the others that Alan mentioned plus a few more. The new landpersons loved it and want us back.

Last June, the neighbours complained....because they hadn't known it was on so didn't get to it at the beginning. So Ted put them on the mailing list and they were at the pub waiting for us this time.

We got to hear a new trio..."Runagle" whose CD will be out soon. I think Louise has a voice to rival some of the well known young folk singers...brilliant!

So thanks to the landpersons, Alan and Sandy, Louise and backing, Sonja, Frank, Tim, Steve, Paul, Maureen, Neil, Debbie and John, Ray, Debbie, Wendy and Nigel, Noel and Olga, anyone I've forgotten, and all the people who just came to lixsten.

Love Lynne

Now, as the Quarter Session is to be tomorrow, Lynne, (that's just one day - you said that numbers were "never your strong point"!), I wondered what the body count is likely to be?
Not the number of deaths in the boring dreary, dirgelike ballads we will probably be singing (NFDs please!), but the number of attendees.
Sandy & me
Lynne & family
Sally & Shot Dogs (& Steve too I hope but I suppose not, as its term time?)
Paul Burke
Boatin Wend & partner
Some locals too (eg Steve Thompson I hope?)
That's fine then. We'll wow them!
And no football to get in the way either!

Well you'll get here one day Terry!

Sally, I posted you some directions...hope you've got them by now. In case you didn't and for anyone else who needs it: get to the M42 (along the A5 for you Sal) and come off at junction 11 where it becomes the A42. Follow the A444 towards Burton on Trent. You go through Stretton, then on a left hand bend there is a right hand turn signposted Donisthorpe. There's a water or electric station on the corner. Turn right and follow the road into Donisthorpe. By "The Engine" pub, the road bears round to the right...follow that and a little way further on you will see the "Turk's Head" on your right. If you pass the church you've gone too far. The Turks is on a corner, so turn down the little lane and the car park is behind the pub. And there you are!

How are you getting your boat there CH?

Perhaps Ashby->Coventry->T&M->Bridgewater->L&L->Ribble Link->Lancaster... but the Lune aqueduct's still closed, and you can't get above Tewitfield. Or Glasson Dock, then across Morecambe Bay to the Ulverston Canal (I don't think it's been restored yet)?

I'll probably see you next week Lynne. Inshallah.

Don't forget the Donisthorpe session! (29th)Two weeks on Thursday. A lot of people have said they may be coming so it shoudl be a good one again. We hope the weather will be nice so we can sit outside as we did last June...we had a brilliant evening.

See you there!

Well provided the 29th is still a Thursday, that's the one we'll go for!

Great Alan...I'd better check with the new Landlord to make sure he is as accomodating about things like camper vans. I know he's saying he's going to be sticking strictly to closing times........

If its on Thu 29 June, then I might be able to call in on my way up to the Cleckheaton FF on 30 June to 2 July.
Will you be there Giok? I haven't seen you for ages, well at least not since yesterday!

The next Quarter session should be some time in June. We have new Landpersons in the pub, but they are perfectly happy for the sessions to carry on. However, we are told that it is World Cup in June so does anyone know which, if any Thursday in June there will be no World Cup played? There will be loads of people in the pub with the Big Screen on when it's on so no good for sessions

Thanks to the Recorder of the Quarter Session, the sentence was very lenient indeed considering. Hanged, drawn and quartered, well, that's fair enough, but they dropped the parking charge, and with good behaviour I could be out of the coffin within 600 years.

Well you are on cleaning up duty then Barry. NAUGHTY boy! (Smacks hand)

Another brilliant session, and, weirdly, a whole different crowd again, with a few notable exeptions.

This time instead of the harp we had Paul with his medieval pipes. A whole contingent from "The real music club" added to the evening. The people we can now begin to call regulars were as good as usual.....thanks Tim, Rachel, Maureen and Neil. And the beginning-to-be-regulars too. I think we probably had the most people yet.

Looks as though we'd better have another one then! Some time in June...watch this space!!

Sorry Sandy & I couldn't make it, Lynne.
I had just driven 220 miles from Welwyn Garden City to Stratford-upon-Avon via Ross-on-Wye and didn't feel like any more driving!
Anyway, glad you had fun. Maybe we will be able to make it next time.
