We've booked a gig .....

Ralph McTell is lovely and a great performer. Saw him here in Dublin many many years ago, a magical show he did with the late Jim MCann. I'll tell you a funny story - my brother was executive producer of the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin (won by Buck's Fizz). We were at it and afterwards were heading to a party in the hotel room of Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. My brother had gone on ahead, and we knocked on the wrong door - it was answered by a rather tired and emotional Ralph McTell. We were invited in, we should have accepted the invite as Hatch and Trent weren't that nice! I think you will thoroughly enjoy it, Ossie - Streets of London is one of my favourites, a powerful and sad song.

Lovely story Osc

How marvellous, Osc. We're really looking forward to it. The venue is Gillingham School Hall, and tickets are apparently selling well, so hopefully there'll be a good crowd.

That's such a great story Osc!

Know the song, never heard of Frank Turner.... see what happens when you're a German growing up in SA

Frank Turner's current Ria so you've got no excuses He's in his mid 30s, hard to describe...punk/folk...and he puts on one hell of a live show which he seems to love doing as he's almost constantly touring, he played show number 2180 this week. We've been at 7 of them.
