Did this Singing Ref bloke get his name because he's a Referee who sings; or does he adjudicate at singing competitions (a bit like Simon Cowell or Sharon Osborne)?

He looks a bit like Sharon Osborne. Don't worry Breezie, I am awake and playing my accordion even as we speak.

Blimey, how do you manage to type and play the accordion at the same time? It's all I can do to play the bodhran while cutting my toenails.

Thanks to everyone who came to Windwad last night.

I had a great time; hope you did!

Must say special thanks to Moses for helping out on a couple of numbers and to Breezy for all his help, advice and support over the last four or so years.

Looking forward to the next re-incarnation of Windward.

Date: 04 Dec 06 - 11:06 AM

It was a pleasure, Ref.

A lovely evening with some good new songs that I may be learning harmonies to before too long! And, of course, some of my 'old' favourites, 'Early Snow' being the one that comes first to mind. I've always liked that one.

The residents (well most of them anyway) singing out the season seems a fitting way to say farewell to this incarnation of the Windward Folk Song Club.

Will what happens next be a gentle zephyr or a mighty gale?

You never know what's just around the corner....

Ah! Unicorn Man/Sqeeze/Martin from Barton - the penny drops*! I think I know who you are now. You probably still don't know who I am though, but I usually sit in the corner opposite you, next to Alan near the fireplace, if that helps you to identify me.

I don't remember you playing a chair though. Does it have strings on it, or do you just hit it with a stick?

*Better pick up that penny I just dropped - I might need it soon, to put in a poor man's hat.
