I’m having a bit of a break from weekly blogs, but last night was so good I felt I had to write something. Thankfully well attended, with almost 40 (well padded) bums on uncomfortable seats.
The main draw was an extended spot from Cecryn.

Normally, I’d just take the piss out of these three, but what a show they gave us. We’ve paid good money for pro turns that couldn’t hold a candle.

Nick Jackson has many hidden talents; sadly we don’t know what they are as they are all hidden.
Breaking News – Greater manchester Police are on the lookout for a drag queen who robbed a corner shop; they say they are on the lookout for a man with a Wigan address.
All the other floor spots were outstanding, without exception. Even I managed to get through with no major cock ups. In addition to “Blokes with a guitar”, we had flute and harp, with a smattering of gob irons.
Singers’ nights on the 15th and 23rd, then we have Virginia Kettle’s Rolling Folk on the 29th
