Just to let you know that I've been booked to play at Hillsborough Hotel, Langsett Road, Sheffield (U.K.) on Easter Sunday (11th April)at 8.30p.m. All singers, players, musicians welcome. Hopefully will still have a voice after Barnsley Singaround weekend.

From the title I thought that you were helping Wednesday out - goodness knows they need it.

Good luck with the gig anyway.

ps

Have spoken to new landlord at the Sun about you running singaraounds during the FF - naturally he is keen and will not be found wanting in the beer and food department

I haven't been in Oddies for a while but I think that Oombanjo has spoken to them - I'll check with him.

Since Ken (Master) is promising changes to Wendy when he manages to take over, is this a sign of things to come?

My Dad risked his life during WWII working a searchlight at Hillsborough. Mind he was guiding the bombers in......

When you hug me mind the catheter.

Dunno Dave I know they are keen on live music and I'm quite chuffed to be asked. They (the new owners) are coming to terms with some of the actions of previous owner e.g. Conservatory/Extension not being licensed !!! I personally wouldn't want to do more than a once a month session. If they ask my advice I'd suggest Blues one wek, Jazz one week, Folk one week, Country one week but I'd be happy to continue as it is one of my favourite watering holes.

Have fun anyway!

Got down to the Hillsborough Hotel this evening & had the pleasure of hearing MC Fat & friends sing & play; also had the pleasure of meeting R&WR for the first time; what a lovely voice she has! (And MC Fat is no' bad either!) Had the pleasure of meeting *MC Fat* for the first time only the day before at the Barnsley Folk Festival, where he ran a goodly part of the afternoon sing.

Very kind of you to invite me up for a song, MC Fat -- quite a surprise, but a pleasant one! Looking forward to seeing you again, now I know who you are.

Cheers,

YY

Thank you Yorkshire Yankee for you compliments! ( you see Jim - someone loves my singing - or is that signing?)

It was a great night - the first of many for Jim at the Hilsboro I suspect

R&RW: you see Jim - someone loves my singing - or is that signing?

As far as I could tell, you were very good at both!

Cheers,

Thanks for the nice comments. Was a goodly night all round. R & WR 's singing was brill ( I think you may be re-employed as my harmony singer Teg was too thin !!!). It will be one of many at Hillsboro as the new owners were very pleased. My plan is the first Sunday of each month although that won't work for may as Moor and Coast and Holmfirth take care of first two sundays, so I may do the third sunday just for May. Perhaps we may do a bit of furniture arranging to get more folks in.

I think football definitely counts as thread creep! But then I noticed MCFAT creeping after sacking me and then re-appointing me harmonist - might see if old git or Kampervan can raise the transfer fee if you dont make some committment!!

What's all this you trying to do a 'Bosman' ruling. You is contracted to Team MC Fat as chief signer/harmony singer and concubine
