In Love....Rough Luck
Posted: Monday, 07 May 2007 |
A good weekend - I'm in love again - this time its after listening to Ray Bonneville - check out his website. I heard him at the folk festival wow - WOW what a man, he signed my CD for me, swoon swoon.
The Folk Festival - I really enjoyed it but I'm sorry I forgot to take my camera, I was preoccupied and far too busy to think about takin photos...
I think I startled FPU [see flying cat's blog] by rushing up to her and shouting EARRING! sorry! I was beginning to feel like a sleuth detective cos I was studying all the women's earrings - so glad when I eventually saw it, so I could stop behaving strangely. I'm not much of a detective as I had thought all year - up until about the time the earring was blogged - that she was a he... sorry! I hope you guys enjoyed the weekend, there wasn't much opportunity to chat!
I've depatched a close friend who was one of the excellent drummers 'Aest-ta-wast' to take photos tonight of the closing party.If you have helped in any way during the concerts you are invited to attend the last do on the Monday night. The visiting artistes perform for all the locals.
Next year I'm going to be a drummer - if I'd practised more this year I coulda been in the group.(and then wid have been a the party tonight, instead of on the computer...)
What bands did I like - I didna see them all this year, as I was unable to get to the Foy on the Sunday night where you see all the artistes, but I was stunned by the Orcadian riot that was Lazy Boy Chair. Absolutely fantastic.
Another was A Crooked Still - sounded very like Alison Kraus, if you can't remember which ones they were, it included the cellist with the very strange hat. and of course Ray (first name terms you notice)( he waved at me and my friend while we were having lunch today (very stodgy lasagne and chips) at the festival club, we shoulda gone over to chat, but missed our chance.) very very nice man. brilliant CD called Rough Luck.
neck and back none the worse of the weekend - maybe that was all I was needing - a good weekend out?
Chiropracter working on it, he manipulated me, and lightened my cheque book considerably, how thoughtful of him! neck still very stiff but not so sore.

Theres a handsome devil, I can see why you swooned Scallow.

He looks like he'd be handy at the peat cutting. Hope he's coming to next year's fank.

Fpu would like me to say that she has got over not being a man and mpu is quite glad of this....you'd think he'd have noticed after all this time! The two young men fpu would have loved to put in her suitcase (this is NOT code if Tws visits here!) were the lead singer with Cadiera Coixa and That Drummer with Lazy Boy Chair...or Lady Boy Choir.... Maybe some day you will meet again and fpu's mouth/brain function will be set to 'working.'....It's a big maybe...("It was good to see you. Take no notice of that damn cat!")

He's a Scot, now is he not (with a name like Bonneville, has to be)? Hopefully, he also GAVE you the CD, Scallo.! # The Queen is gone, thank heavens: I was getting to feel rather claustrophobic, thinking we had once again become part of the Hannoverian franchise. Hopefully, the red bush tea was to her liking. Americans noted that she sounded quite a lot like Helen Mirren. Truth is that probably Helen Mirren likes Vindaloo, unlike her look alike, which makes Mirren my favorite.

Looks like Rick Stein on Gitanes and what's he got in his inside pocket?

Saying things like that Carol! I am in France next week, and I shall file all the calluses off my finger tips. Saying things like sorting you out, you will have FC on the smut wagon again.
