Come-All-Cats!

Singaround / Session at the Bull Pub in Barton-le-Clay, Bedfordshire, UK (use postcode MK45 4LL for map search) on Monday 10th March, kicking off at 8.30pm.

All acoustic instruments & voices very welcome at this cosy venue and we're always glad to see new faces :-)

It's held fortnightly to run in tandem with the music workshop which is hosted by the University of Luton on alternate Saturday mornings.

Come if you can, but if you can't then perhaps you can come to the next one which will be on Monday 24th March :-)

Excellent Cllr: A pint of port is it? Hope you can come along & join us, the last singaround was really good fun :-)

Anyone else?

See you for Mike 'Mr Folk' of Bedford
Mel and Trish will be there, probably with a show-room full of instruments.
Mentioned the Bull at the sing at Redders, the least I could do.

No problem Breezy, may be going to Dog Days during Saturday, but if that falls through I may pop along to French's for a bit of practice :-)
Aiming for chorus evening at the Blue Anchor in the evening!

Cllr: Don't worry if you don't make it, we run it every fortnight. If you are coming, don't forget to bring your songbook (if you have such a beastie) so that I can have a browse through it! Have a safe journey back :-)

Managed to get to Dog Days at lunchtime only to find that they really won't be running it again next year (sob). It seems such a shame, lovely venue & beer & everyone so happy, dreadful news!

Ah well, must get the roast in the oven & settle down to watch the Aussie Grand Prix - maybe a glass of Port would go down well.....

Go on Breezy, you go for it me dear, but don't upset them toooo much!!! I won't turn up & spoil your fun, there's a bottle of Port all decanted & ready to go *g*

Piersy-Babes: flypast at 8pm? I'm on a tight schedule tonight as we need to make another pickup when we drive back through Luton, should still get to the Bull by 8pm (hopefully).

OK, MGAS, but I'm not sure we can get from Harpenden to Barton in that kind of time, unless I put you on the back of my bike.

Glad the Pope's coming, he owes me £20.

Hi Steve, and I will!!!!

It's just so flattering to have 'my own song'- Even if it is about my earrings really! Will post as soon as I get a minute & remember how to do line breaks. May have a short shelf life as you say, but it's musical history as far as I'm concerned :-)

We're very forgiving here, enjoy....

Will mgas bring the little 'guru=trotters' out for a breath of air tonight?
Which way will they face?That is the question.
Hello Steve, got no work to do?
Welcome.
I'll be in Harrow 5-7 coaching.
What you doing then tonight are you at home?

I'd thought about Herga or Barton, but boss says I've gotta stay in tonight. Grounded cos I've been out too much. Two folk nights and two matches over the weekend!

Practice for Friday if I can make time.

This is addictive, must do some work!

Very sorry

But me & mandy are playing darts down the UN tonight

I refute any allegation that the £20 influenced my decision

Now - any suggestions what I can give up for lent?

left herga early
floor singers in the second half kept my interest.
Bloody referees all over this site.
I feel a yellow card coming on.
Hilary has elevated the ref to dizzy heights.
Steves in the stratosphere already!!!
These little piggies better come to Comfort on Friday 14th for its charity night in aid of M.S.
Can you donate them for an auction please guru
Van and Chris did it tonight.
you rehearsing on Wed and going to maidenhead on Thurs????
Nah too far.
go for it on Friday
Be EARLY

My piggies stay with me Breezy, they're already of sentimental value - you men have no idea how attached we ladies can become to our earrings!

Not rehearsing tomorrow & can't make it to Maidenhead, so I'll have to do my best at singing with the ladies if they're still up for it on Friday after their hectic debut week :-)

Barton was good fun last night & very well attended. Very glad to have the two Mike's from Bedford join us again, a real treat! Also two more virgins thrown into the lion's den last night - wonder if they'll be back for more??

Must remember next time to get a chair with arms on it, the lack of leverage from my crook back caused me all sorts of problems last night. Someone remind me next time eh??

How do you manage to sing so many different songs? - brilliant

Hope guru's back is okay?

It was nice to see so many people at the session last night

Quite a nice mixture of styles & sounds
