Yes and it was quite an experience visiting the Wesley House with some of my family last year. The tour of the house is really interesting and some of the antiques took my fancy. Quite a family history.

Dear Mike,

Glad you enjoyed the antiques at the rectory.
It was my pleasure as an antique restorer to repair many of them a number of years ago. In particular, the chair which was Samuel Wesley's, his father. This was in terrible condition so I took it completely apart and restored it so that visitors could sit in it.I don'tknow if they are allowed to now

Subject: RE: Epworth Folk Club
From: Ep' Eric
Date: 11 Dec 05 - 05:38 PM

No, I didn't encounter "Geoffrey" when I was there, T.A.
       but I did add something to the history of the rectory.
       Did they tell you the story of the wardrobe which was
       in Geoffreys room and purported to have belonged to
       Samuel Wesley?. This was a myth and I proved it to them.
       I'll tell you the story when next I see you.

Last Monday was an evening of excellence at Ep'th Folk as they gathered for their third meeting of the winter session. And so it should have been with two professional singers in their midst.
John Ohagan returned and George from Landlocked was there.

We were somewhat depleted with enforced absences by some regulars
but that only made it more memorable for the ones who were there, giving the singers a chance to show off the diversity of their repertoires. With only seven performers there, they each had a chance
to show off the diversity of their songs with about six each.





John Ohagan kept us fascinated with his diction and purity of voice
with a nostalgic song he composed with Archie Fisher about the days of their youth, but song of the night for me was his "The Lark in the clear blue Air" this was unforgettable.

George gave us some of his country favourites such as "I didn't tell her" "Somedays a diamond". His "Irene Goodnight" soon had the whole room singing. A splendid and varied selection .

Chris Smithson was at his best again with his own compositions. His
"Conservatory Rag" now a firm favourite at Ep'th Folk. A fine guitarist in many styles and an original composer who can find a song in any situation.

The regulars too were in good voice with John Windle singing "Give me back my job again" and a hilarious "Iv'e read about love".

Albert Deakin was in good voice with, "Your my best Friend" and
" We can Sing".

Eric's contribution was "Ae Fond Kiss" by Burns and "Linden Leigh"
amongst others   

Making a late appearance through work we had Andrew Taylor who
played "Candle in the Wind" and " Streets of London"

Thanks were extended to Travelling Audience and the other listeners.

Christmas party on 19th Eric?

Subject: RE: Epworth Folk Club
From: Ep' Eric
Date: 14 Dec 05 - 04:21 PM

We have nothing planned at the moment for the 19th. cos
people haven't been accessable, so I don't know how many
will be there. We have been up and down with numbers
for the last three meetings. Great nights, but unpredictable
for obvious reasons. I suppose I could arrange to have some
butties laid on as in the past but there's trouble a't mill.
The landlord and landlady ( she's not his wife) are splitting up
so I don't know what the the situation will be, but I'll see.

I'll keep you posted.

Must be a glutton for punishment.
Still havn't got the permathreads sorted out and I'm getting short of time. Iv'e come to the conclusion that my computer is different to everybody elses.

Thanks for your interest Villan.
But Joe set up a permathread for Ep'th Folk last week. I have seen it but the only way I know of accessing it is via Joe's PM.
It's only a short one and contains a number of refresh messages
but I don't know what to do with it from there.
