Bah humbug. I left the UK just a few days too early, didn't I?  There's still June in Cleveland, though.  |

Also going to Worcester tomorrow - but booked late so have to sit on someone's lap in one of the Huntingdon Hall's somewhat cramped boxes.

Looking forward to Nordern Farm in Maidenhead next Wed. Bought tickets as a surprise for husband's birthday - somehow he managed to find out about it, which is just as well, as he had been intending to buy tickets for Nettlebed as a surprise for me!

Looks like you're a West Ham supporter. I'm pretty confident you'll enjoy Fairport more than you'll enjoy the Cup Final.
Doc
Fairport and Liverpool FC supporter.
Not at all old bean!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it - much rather lose than have to endure boring football! And am still sober enough to enjoy the FC gig this evening which I'm also looking forward to!!!!!!!!!!!! Will post a report tomorrow! Anyone else coming to St Helens tonight? |

Stirring night at Worcester on Friday. Packed house, and the chaps on excellent form, I thought. The acoustic line-up offers a real opportunity to appreciate the sheer musicianship and subtlety of some of the songs and tunes. I was really taken by The Hiring Fair segueing into Summertime . . .and by the use of the Native American Flute on the Mary Anning song.
And thankfully we didn't win the raffle. Anyone who's been to Huntingdon Hall will know what I mean. I did buy Off the Desk - but haven't got round to listening yet.

Huntingdon Hall has a notorious raffle at all its gigs with ticket vouchers as first prize, a CD as its second prize and then some appalling third and fourth prizes in the worst possible taste, which usually look like unwanted Xmas gifts. It always completely humiliating for the"winners". But it's become a sort of kitsch institution now. On Friday it was some kid of dreadful suncatcher thing for sticking in your garden - a bloke sitting near me will have had to carry it through the streets of Worcester late at night. I hope he got home safely. In ten years of going to the hall I've never won a thing. |

Lucky you.. maybe you will win next time!
Only been to that venue once.. it was one of Gerry Conway's first gigs as a full member of the band.
Sat on the balcolny.. very poor veiw.. asked to be moved.. ended up in a side box... even worse view.. I think you need to book early to get decent seats there!! Great gig though!

In its defence, it does have a lovely atmosphere, and a great acoustic. I think the gig you remember might have been an acoustic one, when Gerry joined them for part of the second half playing a little more than a beer crate or something. Or am I just going mad? Row J for future reference. First row of the raised seats. |

Completely OT, but at a Boo Hewerdine gig courtesy of the Colchester Folk Club, Oor Lass won .....a melon. |
