"What 'appened was"

On Thursday afternoon some of us built a bar or two ready for Saturday, then went off to Newport folk Club {Lyceum Tavern every Thursday} to support Ali who had a booking there on the way to Miskin. Next day all hands to the pumps and get sorted.

Friday was a bit mysterious, having no bar but we made the best of it and still had a great time. I got to be even older at some point during the events and had happy birthday sung to me at least seven times, in three languages - English, Welsh and Cockney! The last two by Siwsann George who said she had practiced her cockney accent just for me !

Phil sorted the stewards

"Now when I put my hand out like this it means 'quiet please' "

 

Old friends got together

Food got going ..........

Friday sort of turned into Saturday and we just sort of carried on

.................................................

 

The Music Hall got going after a reshuffle and a bit of pressganging,

 

...... Professor Rodger Evans soon had it all under control ........

. Marcus played the overture

I'm I'm not too sure what Eirwen was doing here, but I bet there's a story behind it !.........................

 

and if you missed Russel as a six year old you missed a high spot.

"She is six and a quarter and I'm only six years old"

 

And surprising everyone, especially me, with their natural rapport and obvious juggling skills in their first public performance

..Owen .......&......Toby...

 

And of course what would the Old Time Music Hall be without the community singalong?

 

And still the singers sang
