Will bring picks and capo and a bunch of songs from here to there. Would appreciate any advice, guidance, help and/or support. 11th nov till 19th nov approx. Reckon it'll be a tad chilly/willies. All offers considered. Will pay my way. |

So let us know how she does. I am working again now so have less time to "Breeze" around - as it were. |

25 Apr 05 - 05:47 PM (#1470519) Subject: RE: Visiting Vancover in Nov From: breezy Saw Barachois at the cap coll and was very impressed, similar to the Old Rope String band, but more conservative. A full house, and the enthusiasm of the audience was infectious, like everyone wanted the evening to be a great one, and it was. We are far too reserved in u K We just sit and listen when we should be clapping along found out by hitting on a festival by accident at the library as I was driving out to the Unv of B C So the start point is the Rogues Folk Club Miffed that I came within one week of seeing Garnet Rogers I popped into every music store I passed to find out but didnt find out much. On the island even bought a guitar in Victoria so I could busk on the harbour!! Got hussled by a beggar but the following day I asked for the money I'ld lent!!! him back and he kept clear after that. on my return I sold the guitar, it had nice action, but I swapped the machine heads over, so I still have a part of it with me, nice they look too, didnt lose money on the deal either. Got the tax back as well. Last summer in Athens, the daughter became GB's 1st ever woman olynpic weightlifter and last week got a bronze in the European senior womens in the snatch. My 2 folk clubs in St Albans have a perma thread Windward and Spotlight The divorce fell thru so I'm still happily married. Padstow this weekend thanks for asking George ,Oh and I think the police are really nice. |

I always enjoy hearing about the travels afterwards. People ask for information, for travel purposes, and we NEVER hear back. |
