Sadly it is a bit too far for us to travel especially at a time of year when my partner's weekends are taken up with marking papers. In other news, I may make it to Writtle this Thursday. Yippee! |

02 Nov 08 - 07:20 PM (#2482821) Subject: RE: Winter Sing 2008 (Barton, Beds UK) From: Lanfranc Concert now fully firmed up (which is more than could be said of yours truly!). Revised poster now on website. Line-up now includes Lynne Heraud, Hamish Currie and (late arrival at the Barton ball) the one and only Al Neville, all doing 30-minute spots, with the other artistes doing 15-20 minutes each and myself waffling on between them. I do like interstices, don't you? Tell your friends. If you have no friends, make some. If you can't be bothered to make any, bring your enemies. If you have no enemies, come alone and we'll see what we can do for you! Cheers Alan |

13 Nov 08 - 03:44 AM (#2492494) Subject: RE: Winter Sing 2008 (Barton, Beds UK) From: Ross Hi Alan - I saw Rachel last night and she started asking questions about the weekend Blimey - I was taken aback How many for the buffet? - I said it must be at least 30? And what time for the buffet - I thought it was about 6pm? Still didn't find out the cost? Let us know if anything else I've been to King Harry (St Albans), Bedford, Baldock, Redbourn, Totternhoe and the Globe (Dunstable) in the last week spreading the word - night in tonight changing me strings |

16 Nov 08 - 02:36 PM (#2495307) Subject: RE: Winter Sing 2008 (Barton, Beds UK) From: GUEST,Lanfranc sans cookie Logged in in thr laptop, hence no cookie. Musically a super weekend, I think that I can say without fear of contraception that a good time was had by all! Thanks to all who turned out, sang and played and also to those who just audienced. Turnout was 25% down on last year - possibly due in part to a combination of the credit crunch (I know of three people who said that they would like to be there but had to work) and the Sunday weather. I have only just read Ross' post of Thursday about Rachel, which explained a couple of things. That is a very strange pub in some ways! Anyway, time to see if others want to add their comments, while Lady Lanfranc and I jet off to Morocco for a few days. Carbon footprint, moi? (I've offset!) Alan |

16 Nov 08 - 03:14 PM (#2495325) Subject: RE: Winter Sing 2008 (Barton, Beds UK) From: My guru always said Many thanks Alan & Lady Lanfranc (& Ross too) for another fabulous Winter Sing, hope you managed to raise a few bob for the RNLI. Lovely to hear so many good songs and singers & to meet so many old & new friends. Thanks too for inviting me to sing a few songs in the concert, I thoroughly enjoyed myself *grin* Sorry we had to dash without saying goodbye but the taxi had arrived. Have a good holiday & a well deserved rest! |

23 Nov 08 - 03:43 AM (#2500534) Subject: RE: Winter Sing 2008 (Barton, Beds UK) From: Cathie Hi Alan You picked the right weekend, weather-wise! Any news yet on how much money was raised for RNLI? |

25 Nov 08 - 06:54 PM (#2501642) Subject: RE: Winter Sing 2008 (Barton, Beds UK) From: Lanfranc Just back from Marrakech, where the sun was still hot! Winter Sing turnout was a bit down on last year (weather and credit crunch?), and we didn't have enough bods to justify having the second raffle on the Sunday. The pub had put up their prices, too, but we still made £100 for the RNLI over the weekend. We despatched the cheque today. Thanks to all who participated, especially to Ross who did a lot of the legwork. We'll see what we can sort out for next year. Alan |

Dilligaff and I flew out to Marrakesh on 14th November and stayed the week - great place. (Which is why I couldn't make the winter sing) Glad that it all went well. |
