05 Mar 04 - 11:18 AM (#1129807) Subject: RE: Flook St Albans, England, March 5 and 6 From: breezy If its cutting edge songs then you know where we are, if its an evening of tunes by profesional musicians you're after ,then you know where to go. You could do worse and go to a folk club where not everything is predictable and you can heckle and be heckled. Enjoy yourself wherever . we'll keep a welcome by the fire side We'll keep a welcome at the Duke So if you dont come to Mike Sparks We' ll assume you've gone to Flook j |
