Nice. Thanks for the link. Will be seeing Dave and Phil as part of The Mellstock Band at Cecil Sharp House, next week, doing something Christmassy. Should be fun and entertaining.

Lovely stuff.

 

Reminds me I haven't bought the Lost Chord CD yet, must do that!

We all know that's not "Waves of the Danube," right?

Ta v much - I must try to make it. I'll bring rum, you sort out the bust ious stuff.

If I remember rightly from a Kirkpatrick similar bash at Xmas 3yrs ago, one could bring a picnic and dwinkies and sit on the wooden wall seat which runs right around the main hall?? (And one sometimes discreetly did a concomitant squeeze or too from box sitting in plastic shopping bag - he and Kpatrick family also had a few small breaks...... )
