Les Sullivan will also be running a song writing workshop.
Not to be missed, a rare chance to hear it from the horses mouth. It will then give you just 1 year and 11 months to get your masterpiece ready for the 2005 Maidenhead song writing competition!

The Good news is that I am working all day Just got an Irish gig for
the day time and a medieval in the evening. The Bad news is that the evening gig should finish in time for me to get there for the last hour.

Many thanks to all who helped and attended, donated prizes and
money and "fines" (thanks to the Admiral). A good time was had
by all (feel I've missed something out there). For those who
are interested a figure in excess of £100 is going to the
charity appeal.

Once again well done all.

I enjoyed Les Sullivan's song writing workshop well worth going to if you can catch him doing it again.
For me the late session in the bar was the star . I know that Bill McKinnon and Paul Hodgson were leading most of the tunes but I was sat there in the middle playing along and we did get the locals cheering and stamping and they even turned the juke box off. I was still grinning by the time I got home.
Well done Glen, Tim and Pete (and I haven't even mentioned the marquee)

It says Hodgon on his CD ...

Well done Glen, Tim and Pete. I hope everyone (including Paul) has recovered from the marquee workshop. Les's songwriting workshop really was interesting.

MCP - what key do I sing Summertime in? - because I picked the wrong one when I tried to sing it in the bar..... and the bad news was that Leadfingers had turned up in time to accompany it in the wrong key on whistle.

Sorry about that Paul - faulty memory!

Summertime in Gm if I remember correctly - look in song database and see if it's in there.

Oops, sorry Tel, I didn't mean there was anything wrong with the whistle playing, only with singing in the wrong key. MCP - I had a quick look at an old song list and couldn't find Summertime, but I haven't checked the Access version. I suspect I confused the start note and the key though - I think I normally start on C natural. Tel thought that means A minor, but I've just experimented on the piano, and I think it might have been F minor.....

Off to see Brian Peters now.

If you start on C that is indeed Fm. I might have played it in Gm (starting on D as highest note) for you and you might have wanted to move it down to Fm (highest note C).

Yes, exactly..... you'd probably have noticed on account of not using a capo (I seem to remember that Les, during his songwriting workshop, mentioned someone who'd criticised a guitarist as not being very good because he didn't use a capo.)

Kitty
PS Brian Peters was very good, and didn't use a capo either.
