You'll be talking to DH, I expect? I'll be with you in spirit, Chris Bates, if only in a communal effort to smoke the place dry. Probably our last indoor smoke together! |

Hoorah. 22 days until I can go to the pub again...  Take snuff - Kendal's finest (Sam Gawith's) - instead. It stopped me smoking. I'm off before the topic drift police zap me....  |

Funny enough it was a non smoking gig.
But in the pub I smoked as much as I could, because it was the last time that I could do so. The next time I'll be in England I have to smoke outside.
I enjoyed the gig very much, because my students didn't have enough money left to buy a ticket.
It was good to see some Anji, DH, Chris B. and some others.
See you all at Cropredy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the pub - mostly of wooden construction, good beer, NO jukebox, only one (silent) slot machine in the corner, very convenient - literally across the road from Wood Street station.

Very convenient for us, too. Only about 10 minutes on the train (2 stops)! Managed to persuade my other half to come, as we unexpectedly had a child-free evening, and the thought that neither of us had to drive had a lot to do with it!
Really enjoyed the evening and bought the CD. It's excellent! Unfortunately we both had a bit too much beer, and I spent most of yesterday with a "migraine"!
We are not smokers, so were grateful that the back room where the gig took place was non-smoking.
Chris, I recognised you, but we were at the back sitting near the bar and you were at the front otherwise I would probably have said hello (I'm a bit shy about introducing myself!)

Peggy & Peej played a cracking gig last night at Farnsfield. I use the word ‘cracking’ meaningfully as three or four songs in we were in the middle of a very active thunderstorm that cut all power for a short while. The chaps didn’t miss a note.. playing on (Little Johnny England) to the accompaniment of the packed audience quietly clapping in time. It was an unforgettable moment in the FarnsAc history!
A year ago the duo played their very first gig for us and said they were nervous.. this time there were absolutely no nerves.. at all! The long night included a taste of Tull.. Jack Frost & the Hooded Crow; a taste of Fairport.. Bankruptured; the fab Lilly of Barbary.. remember that from when PJ was Fairport wintertour support; and many more from both of their wide experience.
There were numerous tales and stories.. I’m sure most of them were true too! Peggy did a good job advertising our next gig.. Swarb in Sept.. and told us not to repeat his Swarb story to the man himself! All evening they had us either in stitches with their anecdotes or enthralled by their musicianship.
Peggy & Peej now have a ‘new band’.. namely The Ukeists… a long and detailed intro to the song Linseed Memories before the guitarists joined them… namely Gareth Pugwash and Mike Jervis! Jill had gone to Tesco specially to buy big knickers so we could throw them onto the stage.. but got sidetracked and forgot to look for them! Gareth & Mike had been practicing the song for months.. well weeks at least and when they had their first play through Peggy realised they needed more chords.. so he very carefully gave them an impromptu lesson and with much gentle encouragement they played it spot on! Their stage debut in Peggy’s band.. not bad!
A fantastic night .. go and see this pair the very next chance you get.

A night of great stories, great fun and great music.  Even the heavens joined in just to add some percussion And as for the Ukeists - that had to be seen to be believed - brill Well done Puggs and Mike - shame you had to change the chords to accommodate Peggy's singing |
