Spring Song Special May 10th at Bull in Barton welcomes the excellent singer song writer Big George, I expect he will have a few friends with him. "The Folkaholicks" will also be there, but don't let that put you off. £4.00 at the door,floorspots still available.

how do you book a floor spot?
Can I trade Sunday for Monday?
but I'll buy a raffle ticket.
You choose when you play and I'll choose when I play.
Will you be at Ampthill on the Tuesday for my gig?
That'll make 3 of us if you do.

Pa-va Pav-pa What was the first bit again? Yes you may do a floor spot but you must also do "Sound That Horn" with George as well please. Okay about the swap of floorspots as well. And yes I will be at Ampthill on Tuesday and so will Big Ron. See you soon.

I've had some dubious propositions in my time, but asking Breezy to blow my "Horn", and in public too, takes the biscuit. But...booker's prerogative, so yes, we will engage in the requested action, Martin.

I don't have to do anything on me own though, do I Martin?

I was hoping I could just join the Folkoholics to run through the three songs for Friday?

And if you don't want to Ross no. Cos we already have Breezy, Christine, John B, Mike,Bert and hopefully Chris Fleck (my greatest discovery, after you Ross) And who knows we might even get George to do a floorspot as well, just like we got Robb Johnson to do one that night he was on.

Thanks Martin - I think I want to channel my energy next week for the Friday, so it will be good for me to concentrate just on the three songs we are doing

Was Chris Flegg okay on Monday? It was good to see him but he seemed in a different league to most of us

Greatest discovery - you mean like penicillin - bacteria from mould

I'm booked for theatre on Saturday so won't be able to attend bbq

hope you'll come to Chris Flegg's gig at the club on Friday 14th May then you can see for yourselves.

His web site is via 'mellowtones' I think.

Really nice man.

Yes; I have seen him at the spotlight a number of times

He is very good and has a very good range of styles and songs

He also has a passion - beyond the 'I'm here for everyone else to watch' type of performer (sorry if that sounds cynical - I haven't seen many of that type in that bracket in folk clubs)

worth catching working the 3 hammers last sat on the month in chiswell green with one of his fellow musicians.

I really enjoy watching and listening.

we are fortunate to know him.

and he is learning the sax

Yeah you are both right. He is a brilliant player writes some great stuff as well has a good voice, and is a brilliant person. Just like George who's thread this is by the way, he writes loads of brilliant songs that are played all over the world by Vin Garbbet, Roy Bailey and more, has a nice voice and plays the guitar very well, as well. Would'nt it be boring if we were all the same. " Sound that horn three times and then I am gorn"

I heard some more of George's songs last night at Redbourn. Breezy sung the song about an underdog and a song about spring both by Big P.G and both amazing. If I wrote one of them in a life time I would be happy, but these two and even more WOW. I will be buying the CD.

And on Monday at The Bull in Barton le Clay, I am going to hear even more of George's songs sung by George, by George and so can you. 8.30pm - 11.oopm. And the same time on Tuesday you can hear them all over again, at The Queen's Head in Ampthill, sung by Breezy, by John. Come on.

Oh Shucks Dude, and I lots of people including me must wish they had written " Run to the Sea" and that old classic "The Tuba Cat" or what ever it is called (how sweet) Could be a Folkaholicks song.
