From: Mr Happy .....& as Dave McKenzie mentioned at Mr Happy's sesh last night, seems you may've beaten a hasty retreat from the Ship Victory sesh the night before. However, if you're still in Chester tonight, the Gardeners Arms sesh will be on from around 9pm. Sorry you missed us |

07 Oct 10 - 04:49 PM (#3002016) Subject: RE: Chester Folk Clubs??? From: GUEST,Suibhne Astray Well, we rolled into the Carlton around 7.45 after a very gruelling day on top of various ailments; we enjoyed the fine hospitality on offer, the free Wi-Fi, and a very fruity pint, but by 8.30 were zonking out, so we opted for a night in at our Travelodge at Northop Hall where I fell asleep during The Apprentice. Brighter today though; amazing weather in which to enjoy your amazing city and its many and varied attractions, including THIS which is a real point of pilgrimage! Rest assured, we'll be back! |

08 Oct 10 - 04:29 AM (#3002284) Subject: RE: Chester Folk Clubs??? From: GUEST,Suibhne Astray Like I said over on the Bellamy thread, I got into Randolph Caldecott via PB's The Fox Jumps Over The Parson's Gate album, the cover of which is based on that of RC's wee book of the same name which, as PB points out in the notes, furnished him with the song. I reunited the two in a wee YouTube film (HERE) using an online source, but have since bought the original - and many others which, surprisingly, aren't going to set you back that much... Also in Chester yesterday a rake around the cathgedral to reacqaint myself with a few old friends including a Foliate Osama who resides amongst the fine medieval green men sculpture in the cloister. I actually had a picture of him in Fortean Times a few years ago, but nothing like as clear as this one. |
