19 Sep 02 - 04:04 AM (#787279) Subject: RE: Fundraising seshun/Piss Up in Beverly UK From: Sir Roger de Beverley Thanks for this John My last posting on the original thread was a bit garbled due to too much bear9 at a planning meeting in the Sun. However, it is a good cause and I'm more than happy to play and drink bear9 for any good cause. Seriously, though, it should be a good night music wise and the raffle prizes should be worth venturing a pound or ten. Cross referencing to the Nellies thread - Steve & Elaine, at the Sun are putting up the "Weekend in Amsterdam" prize at their own expense as well as some drinks for the performers on the night - all because one of their regulars works for the charity and wanted to raise some money. Now that is building a community rather than just taking the profits over the bar, don't you think? |

My Mum has given me £5 for some raffle tickets - she fancies Amsterdam rather than the game of darts against John Lowe. R |

22 Sep 02 - 05:36 PM (#789172) Subject: RE: Fundraising seshun/Piss Up in Beverly UK From: Fortunato John, what exactly is a pissup? Here in the US the first part of the word is slang for urine or to urinate. There is an expression used here, "Piss up a rope", which means loosely, scram! Or 'get stuffed' or to refer to a futile activity. cheers. |

I haven't been back in to the Sun so I'm not sure how much they raised - will check tonight at the acoustic workshop (shameless plug) Rog |

24 Sep 02 - 04:08 AM (#790112) Subject: RE: Fundraising seshun/Piss Up in Beverly UK From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull I agree with Peat, I went on sunday and it was really nice , well done to Roger and everybody else that was involved with it.PS I was speaking to the landlord 9Steve) about the possibility of another session there on Tuesdays, as the on at the Hase has finished [the landlady at the hase asked them to move it to another venue), he was very enthusiastic, and said a new tuseday session would be very welcome, although he is not a musician he is very welcoming to folkies and already has folk sessions there evey sunday and alternate Tuesdays.This would give people more choice and they would not get mixed up as there would be a session there every tuesday.john |
