Jez was magic by all accounts. A cozy forum with lots of different playing techniques to watch. Good songs and time to chat to folk. He even remembered meeting my friend's cousin in a gig in Canada and talking to him in a similar setting!That's amazing considering the hundreds of people he meets on tours.It was genuine too as he accurately described him and his work.Impressed.

Hi Ross the date that was for The Hertfordshire Day of Song was March 4th. so it would be too late for The Unicorn, but via word of mouth ie (Breezie) we should get a few people there, or wait until April. Bye I am off to Devizes The home of 6XXXXXX, then tomorrow Port Issac until Tuesday, so should be at The Blue Anchor Tuesday, The Bull on Wednesday and then staying at The Lower Red Lion, The Rose and Crown on Thursday. Cool. Then as if that was not enough, Robinhoods Bay on Friday and Saturday back on Sunday. BYE BYE.

Sorry Breezie I will be in Port Issac on Sunday and Saturday for that matter. Hey Ross what with The Hertfordshire Day of Song being called off this year, why don't we have a 12 hr do at The Bull on that day instead, and get it put in The Unicorn?????? Cu at The Blue Anchor I hope. I should be back in time for that.

We had a grand night last night - a few absent with coughs & colds

Many thanks to Bert, Pat, Cathy, Philip, Trevor W, Geoff, Davina, Nat, Lorna, Tony, Richard, Keith, Eve, Bob & Teresa (running the bar)

Great News - we are now permanently based in the Function Room, with plenty of heat and the integral bar open - Bob the landlord has given us a pledge to support us

No more bar noise or people walking through the session to the loo -it's also a non smoking room

I hope that gives a better future for the sessions

I'm going down the Ukranian Club in Luton tonight - perhaps I'll meet Olga

FRIDAY 27th JANUARY – LAUGHING GRAVY

North Hertfordshire's favourite Dance Band LAUGHING GRAVY return after their Christmas break, re-vitalised and refreshed, to offer the very best of English acoustic dance music to the renowned Unicorn Ceilidhs.    Based on years of experience, the band's style is firmly rooted in the English tradition, but draws its influences from far and wide. French, Scottish, Welsh and American roots are explored in an eclectic repertoire that gives energy to the dancers, and leads them into the figures and forms of the dances.

Caller for the evening is the delightful and experienced SHEENA MASSON.
From an early age Sheena has built an enviable reputation as both a versatile dance musician and ceilidh caller. She works extensively with, among others, bands Peeping Tom and Stömp. She is also a member of the new eclectic dance band Stocai, and is a popular and versatile caller at festivals and clubs throughout the country.

Our interval entertainment this month comes from the STONY STEPPERS – they will be demonstrating the very English tradition of Clog Step Dancing, whilst you relax, drink a pint or two, and recover your breath!
Doors open at 7.30   Dancing from 8.00 till late. Real Ale Bar.
Tickets £7.50 (U14s £4)

They look forward to seeing you all!
