11 Feb 04 - 08:13 AM (#1113928) Subject: Ampthill Folk Club (Bedfordshire, UK) From: treewind Despite the Ampthill club - related threads having vanished beneath the radar, Mary and I intrepidly set out to find the club last night, hoping it still existed. What a pleasant surprise to find so much good quality and (surprise) mostly unaccompanied singing. Well, we soon manged to pollute that with numerous squeezeboxes, of course... A very enjoyable gathering even with only seven people. Well worth it for us, though - we got two bookings out of it. Thanks Mike and Mike! (Bedford, May 13 + Ampthill later this year) So come on chaps/chapesses - Cllr of this parish needs all the support he can get. We'll be putting it on our rota of places to go on Tuesday nights.

11 Feb 04 - 02:24 PM (#1114224) Subject: RE: Ampthill Folk Club (Bedfordshire, UK) From: treewind March 16 Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman. We had the pleasure of hearing them for the first time only recently ('bout time too!). But my point is, it's not to be missed any week. For the record (and I hope I've got this right...) The Folk club meets at the Queen's Head, Ampthill, every Tuesday night, with guests about once a month. Starts at 8:15 or 8:30 depending on different sources of info (Cllr - clarify?). When it's not a guest night it's a really good singaround. Charles Wells Eagle was the only beer on draught that night. That was OK, especially as we were only 1 pint into a brand new barrel! If somebody else doesn't do it, I'll knock up an unofficial web site like I've done for Sutton. And for the same reason - to remind me what's on when. Anahata |

11 Feb 04 - 02:29 PM (#1114231) Subject: RE: Ampthill Folk Club (Bedfordshire, UK) From: George Papavgeris Do it, Anahata, good idea! I'll try to be there on the 17th for Dave and Anni, but no promises - off to Dublin first thing next day. |

12 Feb 04 - 08:47 AM (#1114807) Subject: RE: Ampthill Folk Club (Bedfordshire, UK) From: treewind I thought you said Dave & Anni next week - then I looked in my organizer and it said 17 Feb. Apologies for mistake. And it looks like guest nights are more than once a month. Anahata |

12 Feb 04 - 01:52 PM (#1115012) Subject: RE: Ampthill Folk Club (Bedfordshire, UK) From: GUEST,Cllr at work No problems Anahata the Music from you and Mary was great and I look forward to your gig. Any one coming to see Dave and Anni next week should arrive early to get seats. Cllr PS Anahata I did say next week you came on the 10 of Feb and they are on the 17th of Feb. Usually two guests a month approx. El Greko are you coming that would be fab I must find out if Guru will come along as well. |

12 Feb 04 - 03:52 PM (#1115079) Subject: RE: Ampthill Folk Club (Bedfordshire, UK) From: My guru always said Sorry Cllr - probably no can do (blast)! Am now working Monday - Wednesday so Tuesday night excursions will be few & far between from now on. That's the price I must pay for a permanent job with a 3 day week. Oh woe is me - I'll have to make sure I'm home from festivals on the Sunday from now on.... I just know that you'll all have a Fab evening with Dave & Anni & George thrown in for good measure, wish I could be there - have fun! |

12 Feb 04 - 04:15 PM (#1115090) Subject: RE: Ampthill Folk Club (Bedfordshire, UK) From: treewind OK - first stab at a quickly run-up web page: http://www.treewind.co.uk/ampthill/ Cllr - I have not put your email address on in case you don't want it published (though I did find it elsewhere on the web). Your phone no. is there - as it's published elsewhere I assume that's OK. Anahata |

01 Mar 04 - 09:23 AM (#1126929) Subject: RE: Ampthill Folk Club (Bedfordshire, UK) From: breezy worth thinking about, its a good option as Paul Bonas himself is a pretty nifty guitar player, almost as good as Chris Flegg of St Albans Folk-song club [Fridays and sundays] and the mellowtones, but not quite. and the Landlady's O K too No promises but a mile better option than anything local. |
