Next Sunday 14th October there will be a benefit held in aid of the families of New York Firefighters who lost their lives on Sept 11. It will begin at 8pm at The sun inn (formerly Tap & Spile) and musicians and others are welcome. Please support Roger Busby and the other organisers and offer your talents where possible.

On behalf of our neighbors to whom we are very very thankfull generally and are in awe of today, thanks - Larry (InOBU) down here in Downtown NY.

Guest; not sure where you will be travelling from, but the Sun Inn (or 'Tap & Spile', as many local people may still call it) is close to Beverley Minster and the Friary Youth hostel. Can give you more exact details if you need them.

Have just checked the postcode. Put HU17 0DF in on the multimap site, and you'll find the pub, at the junction of Keldgate and Flemingate.

Thanks to everyone who has offerd to help out. Just to clarify - the pub tenants, Chris and Helen, have arranged an evening of general fundraising including raffles and the sale of beer donated by a local brewery. I offered to put on some music and will be setting my PA system after the normal Sunday afternoon session and will make sure that there are lots of spare microphones for anyone that wants to join in and peform on their own or ensemble. I'm not sure at this stage how much time we will have to play in since the priority is to raise the cash so please don't be disappointed if you only get to do one song or even just back others in their playing - on the other hand we may get to play all night.

I personally will be singing all American songs(plenty of scope there, then) but I'm sure that any appropriate numbers will be much appreciated. I'd hoped to cover a range of US songs from all traditions drawing in Woody Guthrie, Dylan, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Motown, Paul Simon, Springsteen etc. but could be persuaded to play some mandolin on some Uncle Dave Macon/Carter Family/Louvin Bothers stuff. In other words anything goes.

Roger ps

I'm flying to Seattle on the 24th of October if there are any Mudcatters out there who would like to meet up.

I'm writing this at 10am on Sunday morning.

Thanks to all of those who have offered to help out tonight. If you want to rehearse or do a sound check before the 8pm start, I'll be setting up the PA around 4pm when we go down for the normal Sunday session(4-7)and will then pop home for something to eat about 6.15 and be back about an hour later so please feel free to come in on the afternoon session or early evening or just turn up whenever. There will be six microphones set up and some spare jacks for plugging in if you are wired for sound.

we hope to make some serious money tonight - many of the businesses in Beverley have donated prizes for the raffle including a free manicure!

See you

Roger

I'll pop down early for the afternoon seession and to help with the set up. Maggie is busy this afternoon but I've asked her to come along tonight if she isn't too tired (she's been very busy this weekend).

Roger - how come your Mudcat name isn't Sir Roger de Beverley?

For the same reason that, as a ral ale fan, I don't drink "Owd Roger" and also a lifetime of being greeted as "Roger the lodger" or "Roger the dodger"

I have just got back from Beverley, it was great.Thanks to Roger from Beverley & everybody involved.john

Thank YOU John and everyone else that turned up to perform and support the gig. I don't know about anyone else but I had a great time and feedback from the pub audience and management was very positive indeed. At the moment we are still totalling the sum raised but it will be in excess of $500.

For the record, those who performed "out front" were:

Les/Linda/Hazel/Chris/Annie/ Peculiar Blue(Paul and Lynn) and Roger(me)(note the 50:50 gender balance!)ably backed up from the floor by John, Sheila and Alan on instruments and lots of others on voices.

We are back there for our "normal" Sunday session on the 21st and it would be great to have another good turnout just to enjoy ourselves.

Cheers

Roger

Thanks Roger for a wonderful evening I thought you did brilliantly and just about everyone seemed to have a good time. Never seen so many raffle prizes in my life, but still failed to win one!!

Sorry to have missed a good do, Jingle and I were galivanting around Whitby as usual, so we didn't see the thread till we got home. So, you're doing Carter family stuff too now, Roger! mandomad.

I only said that I could do Carter Family stuff - it's probably about twenty years since I actually did one (beware, oh take care - I think). Anyway, when are you coming out to see us in Beverley? I was over at Ossett a couple of weeks ago - very busy there as usual and a good night.

ps

I'm assuming that it is you Tony and Angie - I don't know what everyones Mudcat name is: Is there a definitive list anywhere?
