Hi Eleanor - we kick off about 8:30 ish

Depending on how crowded the back room is; we debate whether to move to the function room if the pub is too noisy

It would be really nice to see and hear you

And you Martin; who is arriving late

Many thanks to all who came along last night - there was some brilliant sounds

Including Trevor, Derrick, Martin, Yvonne, Rita, Eleanor, Stevi, Daniella, Ed, Keith, John P and Trevor (accord) - 86 with me

Sorry it was a bit cramped and noisy - I didn't realise there were so many of us until it was too late

Next time - we'll move into the function room

From: GUEST,Ross

Hi there

Now that's a theory - Martin's aka Dr Death

Someone said very unkindly that Martin moved through the folk world with the destructive will of a Dalek

John B saw him at the post depot working so he's still alive

Thanks to everyone last night - John B, Bert, Pat, Stevi, Cathy, Iain, Selina, Keith, Ed and special guest Theo & family

Nice jam everyone - it's my birthday today, I'm eight years old

From: GUEST,Brian

Don't be sad Bertie

When things are looking down
Don't shrug or swear or frown
Clasp life for what it is and all it's worth
When you're chewing on the life's gristle
Take heart and have a whistle
And things will turn out for the worst

And always.........................

I was hoping to come along and just hear you play and sing

I enjoy that a lot - it's nice to step back at Barton sometimes and listen to you
