25 Oct 07 - 09:22 AM (#2178831) Subject: RE: Sheffield Folk Festival this weekend From: JulieF Will manage a few sessions / singarounds but in the middle of a major house move. Anyone seeing a plump , blonde, middle-aged scottish woman dozing off beside you, give me a dig in the ribs when its my turn to sing. Alternatively feed me decent beer or whisk(e)y - it keeps me going. Promise to be more involved next year. J |

25 Oct 07 - 12:34 PM (#2178985) Subject: RE: Sheffield Folk Festival this weekend From: GUEST,no fixed abode Hi Ray, Long time no see...........keep missing you at festivals. Patrick played violin on our new albnum and did a brilliant job. so as not to be accused of self promotion I will not put a blue clicky thing here just do a search for Clearwater and you should come across the cdbaby page. Patrick features on most tracks and his solo on Kebab crazed nutter is just the business. We may go to the survivers session on Sunday at Kelham....we have a late gig on Sat night to do so if we are not to knackered.... Una and Tony |
