Got a leaflet for this the other day but haven't found much on the web apart from this.

Apparently there are sessions at the Norman King on Church St. or the Wheatsheaf on High St. North, both on Saturday afternoon from 12pm - 3pm ish.

AnyCat going?

BTW, Dunstable is in Bedfordshire, UK.

Guru, Just got back from Dunstable via the St.Albans Fringe Festival. Some of those acts were great. I especially liked Hamish and Lorna, missed the Flat Martins though. And what a great do in St. Albans, hats off to Breezy!

The Guru is quite correct Hamish, I am the one of those lucky people who graduated from U. of Aberdeen. Didn't we decide there was the possibility that you were my father? It's true, I like the way you do those old trad. songs with a modern feel, but still retaining what's good about the old songs.

You've had enough compliments from me now See you around Willy

William Guest:

Please feel free to call me 'Always Said'!!!!!

I'm not anyone's Guru & am beginning to feel quite embarrased about my choice of CatName & thinking of changing it.

As you know, my name originates from a song I sing. I call it 'And anyway my guru always said no!', because that's one of the lines in the song. I don't know what the real title is but I've heard it from a 1977 '45' record made by Joanna Carlin aka Melanie Harrold.

Sorry to waffle......

Dear 'Always said'

No, I don't think it works...

You know me, I have no Gods, no Gurus and I bow in deference only to reason and rationality.

I may have to make a comeback with my real name (without the embarassing part).

Dunstable can be very cold, so always take a mac with you

Is that why Hamish was there?
