Inspired by Eddie’s poem, Chris has composed this. Not put to music yet, but who knows?

Sing a song of sixpence

We went to Ryan’s Bar

Playing for the people

Who came from near and far.

At first there were no faces

Of people that we knew

But then along came Eddie

And that was really cool.

 

Then there were some others

Who came to cheer us on

We needed all the help we got

And some to sing along.

Dylan, Ochs and Mitchell

Are not to every taste

So we were very grateful

That it didn’t go to waste.

 

So thanks to all the people

Who came to hear our set

We know we are not perfect

But we will get better yet

And while good friends are with us

Propping up the bar

It’s great to have support

Strong as a Playtex Living Bra!

First Gig of the Year – Ryan’s Bar, Torquay.

A very Happy New Year!

We are emerging from hibernation to perform our first gig of the year at Ryan’s Bar, Torquay, on Sunday 17th February 2013. We start at 5 and play till about 8pm.

Plenty of our well-loved favourites and a few new songs to spice things up a bit.

Our new acoustic amp and  guitar should improve sound quality massively – so I’d better play my best!

We hope to see you there.

We have further bookings at Ryan’s Bar – 19th May and 8th Sept.

If you can’t get to any of them, we will be back at Lupton House, Churston Ferrars on Wednesday 5th June, 7.30pm.
