19 Mar 03 - 09:40 AM (#913360) Subject: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: My guru always said Come-All-Cats! Singaround / Session at the Bull Pub in Barton-le-Clay, Bedfordshire, UK (use postcode MK45 4LL for map search) on Monday 24th 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 7th April :-) |

21 Mar 03 - 07:11 AM (#915234) Subject: RE: Singaround Barton,Beds UK 24th March From: GUEST,Piers No way Ross, I love my shaky Pringles container! My war is going OK. Hats off to the radical students from Roundwood Park School who demonstrated by walking out of lessons yesterday, and the sixth form who took the demo into town where it seemed to fizzle out, rather than being the catalyst for revolution as I had hoped. Harpenden's means of production, unfortunately, are still owned and controlled by the few. I believe St. Albans really put on a good show of support for peace. My personal 'walk out' of work went completely unnoticed. Big marches tomorrow in London, Fairford (Glos.) or Menwith. I have just learnt that Oscar Ceremony will be protected by the US national guard, perhaps local scout troop could protect the session at The Bull, Barton le Clay. Piers ************* Don't miss Leon Rosselson tonight (21/3), Comfort Hotel, St. Albans.

It's not Baghdad that should be frightened Guru in Manchester could be called a weapon of mass exhalation Good luck for the gig tonight with LR I would be there but the road through Luton's not too safe - Iraqi's have taken junction 9 on the M1 Good luck with your shaky The Bull has been secured for Monday - minefields laid |

Maybe we could persuade you & Anahata along to another Extravaganza - they're having the next one in October & it's to be hoped that it will continue on from there :-) My ticket for 'Song Links' is in pride of place on the mantelpiece - it's going to be such a good day - can't wait! |
