Danny Jack's Chase - a really enjoyable new swashbuckler from Ric.
................and a tune which keeps coming back to you days after the gig!!! We were also at Leamington. The seating doesn't get any more comfortable nor the bar less crowded but a really enjoyable evening nonetheless. Flossie and Keith have completely reworked ther set since last week and are much more "together". The chaps, as always, were great value having really settled in to most of the songs. Highlights... Hens March Medley, a brilliant WKWTTG from Simon and the two BL songs with Ric's PDC link. Oh and Peggy's bass on Dirty Linen was terrific. Enjoyed chatting to Martin D and Ellen - we've nodded to each other previously but never really spoken  Very strange to be shepherded from the premises by a bouncer (well, steward really). That's not happened for years but it was after 11  S&J And you never came and said hello to us  perhaps next time?  C x |

Back working on new album, with Peggy on base and a certain fiddle player who should be knighted :-)

Just hoping the predicted snow for Friday doesn't scupper my plans of going to Tunbridge Wells on Friday!  |

We're due to make a weekend of it to see the lads at Hunstanton on Saturday, unfortunately if there is any snow it's more than likely to be in that area. DC |

Tried to book Tunbridge Wells on line: it says it's sold out...  It'll be a first if it is! I suspect they're not opening the circle to on-line sales. Means I'll have to sneak out to phone a real person in the box office. More later. |

Yep I agree, it was brill and I also agree about the bars ! We are also looking forward to December Highlight for me last night was the Dream song from JBL, it was really good to hear the PDC bit again from Ric.I used to have his cassette with it on , can't remember what it's called, but would like to replace it on CD if it's available-anyone know if it is? We also really enjoyed hearing some of the old tunes again and Matty Groves intro was lovely [I wasn't keen on the reggae one!] The new tunes were good too especially Danny Jack's Chase Support act was wonderful, Flossie's voice is mesmerising , their song about the swans reduced me to tears, so poignant, and the rebel version of Green Grow the Rushes O appealed greatly as it is one of my fave trad songs and the new twist on it was so very apt to today's society! All in all, we had a great evening Great to get a chance to chat to Martin D too |

Yes, if the trains are OK. Bar at the Theatre Royla is not great, I think there is only lager. Paul |

And I assume the mucky duck is still next door. In the days of the music hall there used to be a hole in the wall between the two, so performers could get served back stage. Paul |

Last year when the Fairport's were in Pompey, the Wetherspoons was closed for renovation. The Mucky Duck wasn't an attractive option, catering for the younger element, DJ's disco music and shots. (whatever they are)  The other alternative is the Walkabout bar just across the road from the theatre. |

Paul There are now two Weatherspoons, the large one in the Guildhall Square and the smaller one, on the same side as the theatre, which used to be the White Swan. |

Cheers Malc,
You can't beat local knowledge.
Gareth Turner & Mark Stevens of Little Johnny England were at the Farnham gig last night, Peggy informed the audience that the Johnnies were booked to play Cropredy (Friday)
