When you make you travel arrangements don't forget that Newton Heath Carriage & Wagon and Everton Athletic will be kicking seven shades out of each other on the canal bank at 17.30 on Saturday.

Thanks for that info..we'll be down on the Sunday so hopefully ok but I will let others know re the Sat.

Gentlemen please remember that the fussballspeil STARTS at 17-30 so all the fan(atic)s will already be in the ampitheatre way before that.

So you are safe staying at expoEM North until closing time cos the mass hysteria will have taken them over by then and it will safe for us mere mortals (normals) to travel.

I'm glad you pointed that out, Derek. I was about to choose my train tickets, with a visit to the Jolly Anglers for a pint or three on my way back to Manc Piccadilly in mind. As I don't fancy playing sardines with a crowd of footy supporters, I'll catch an earlier train back to Sheffield, Fagans, Moonshine beer and some quality folk music instead.

Unless they are sitting in a jam on the M62.

 

If I come on Staurday my intention is either to be in early or to stay until about 5pm as I will be using the M60 via Stockport.

I hope you are not implying that I only have three friends and they are but colleagues and, they spy on me through keyholes....

 

Oh I'm so happy....

 

Dave, yawn.

I decided a long time ago not to urge my tastes in (in no particular order) music, women, beer, literature, trains, sport etc. on others, and to merely listen politely should they urge theirs on me.

If I may point out a couple of problems with the well-respected gentlemen you mention, dear Lightning, they share the disadvantage of having been dead for some time (saving, of course "our" Kenton), and their bands wouldn't have fitted into the back room at Fagans, which isn't much bigger than my living room.

To mention a personal favourite Sheffield-based folk musician, Patrick Walker - Pat's trio would fit such a room nicely.

If you like that sort of thing, of course.

Never could bear Stan Kenton. Woody Herman Ok and his rhythm section once sat in at the Manchester Sports Guild one Saturday night. They utterly transformed the Alex Welsh Band as I remember.

I picked up some rolling stock from Mark Forrest last night for use on New Haden Colliery over the weekend.

 

He also gave me the best in show trophy awarded to Black Counrty Blues last year so in case the organisers are wondering, its on its way home.

Is that the Old Hall one? Knew it was some time around now and I've been looking forward to it, since I now live within walking distance. Thanks for the reminder!

I had intended to go on Saturday but I've had to Cape the job due to none of my regular companions being available but in any case, I have to take my injured mutt to the vets for a check up and I'm skint due to the latter anyway.

C'est la vie, I'm sure some individuals will be pleased...
