Comment by Pyno on December 23, 2011 at 2:24am: Hi Ed not sure what a pasty is in the US but over here they are these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasty .

Comment by Bad Finger (Eric) on December 22, 2011 at 11:19am: Are pasties something else in the UK compared with the US? I might be changing my location if they are not.

Comment by Pyno on December 22, 2011 at 7:54am: I'm up for a meet, Brickdust can buy the pasties :)

Comment by Bad Finger (Eric) on December 22, 2011 at 7:49am: Good deal. Brickdust, I still owe you for the CD. Stuff has been sitting on my desk.

If there isn't a gig around, I can likely be found at the Eaton Oak in St. Neots having a few pints.

Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on December 21, 2011 at 10:52pm: Good idea. Also StumbleCol, who are also in the Cambridge area.

Mark C, Barrie and Kevin Lawton are all in Manchester, so might be able to help there.

Good luck and enjoy your trip.

Comment by MrRandomWritings (Backwater Bri) on December 21, 2011 at 9:56am: ED - you should hook up with bemuzic in Cambs - she will know what is happening in the area I am sure

Comment by Bad Finger (Eric) on December 21, 2011 at 9:21am: Just booked tickets for my next trip to Germany and UK. Will be in Cambridge/St. Neots Jan 25th & 26th. Manchester 27th. Anyone have any gigs planned in the area those evenings?

Comment by Uncle John on November 13, 2011 at 12:31pm: Hi,

I noticed a long absence from Norm Fasey. I hope all is well with him. Any news?

Comment by Stu Crane AKA aboynamedstu on October 30, 2011 at 10:57pm: In reply to Michael Fred Johnson, The Blues Kitchen in Camden regularly has some great music, last time I went it was reall old time folk blues but depends on the night, as well as fantastic food and a selection of bourbons that'll leave you skint and hungover!

Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on October 30, 2011 at 1:43pm: Congratulations. For becoming the 50th member I hereby award you a warm glow of satisfaction. Use it wisely.
