17 Mar 08 - 04:49 AM (#2290356) Subject: RE: St Patrick's Day session, nr Lymm From: John J Hiya Kitty - we're putting plans together for our 'festival tour' this year. I'm sure we'll meet up for a sing more than once. I trust you're well and ready for the rigours of the festival season! Thanks to guest & Brakn (who has NO excuse not to join us!), I had no idea about the date thing, thanks. Brakn: if you're up for tonight I'm cycling to the Sarries, if you fancy a pedal just drop me a PM or whatever. Friday sees the Mobberley 8 again. Meet at the site of the Bleeding Wolf at 11am, alternatively be at the Plough & Flail for 12...on your bicycle. If you don't want to do the pub tour you could meet us at the last pub, the Railway at Mobberley after 3pm for a mega-sing & play. Cheers, John |

He could have been, but it's more likely that he was British*, from the Lake District or perhaps Galloway. the only certainty is that he wasn't Irish. If he thought of himself as having a nationality, he probably called his native country Cumri. *They included the Welsh at the time anyway- and Welsh was a perjorative term in Old English, meaning Briton.... or slave (which he was, till he escaped). |
