Cheers Bri, do you know if there'll be a drumkit we can borrow (just bring breakables) or if we'll need to bring our kit?

Don't know is the answer, Stu. The band in the evening will have drums but I do not know them and they could be quite protective about them! Leave it with me and I'll see what I can do.

Hi Pete,

All you need to do is turn up. No hidden charges and, looking at you pic, lager will also be available ;-)

Bri.

Hi Bob,

No problem, yer in! Me and the good lady are trying a couple of songs which will be our first gig too. Scary, but it's gotta be done. Because it's a cbg/beer fest, not many folk will know about the background of our obsession, so it would be good if players could add a few facts. Because my wife's a fiddler, I think our first song will be 'Sugar Hill', (see my Ben Prestage vid) on her whisky box fiddle, it's a cut down Fortnum & Mason Champagne box actually, but don't tell anyone! The song was from the 1860s, around the time of a woodcut of a soldier sat outside his tent with a fiddle, so it starts the story quite nicely.

Looking forward to next year already. There is cbg life in the south!

Cheers,

Brian

Bob,

Liking the sound of your set. I've added your name to the poster and will put it up again in about a week when things are a little more final. If you fancy coming over before the event to familiarise/sound check etc just let me know. Cheers, Brian

Hi Grant,

The local newsagent/post office proved fruitless. Moved away and retired were two reasons. I'll keep on the case, but it doesn't look too good! Cheers, Brian

sounds good Bob, do the simplest easiest songs you can for your first show, first time i played i could hardly hear my own voice, guitar kept going out of tune and i forgot all my  words....that's showbiz! (-;
