Well, it's arrived.
The new album, “Pack of Jokers” has been delivered safely
from various corners of Europe and will be hitting the record
shops from June 27th.
However, if you would like a copy before then it is available
directly from us. Please go to the merchandising page of our
website for details of how to obtain it.
Previous winners of our competitions will be receiving their very
own copy within the next week or so.

One man and his bridge
Our new fiddle player, Tom Fairbairn, is settling in well and has
just taken delivery of a brand new 5 string all white Bridge violin.
With his angelic looks, the fiddle seems just right!

Recent Gigs
Since the last newsletter we have performed at Cromer,
Holmfirth and Oxford festivals and enjoyed every minute.
Audience reaction has been very positive to the new line up
so we hope we can carry this on.

The Right Trousers
If you saw us at any of these performances you may have noticed that
we have a new look for this year.
Gone are the Hawaiian shirts and jackets.
This year’s look is primary colours.
We have all had our “colours” done by a recognised expert in
the field and apart from Heather, we have ignored the advice
and followed the “Cluedo” guide to colours.
Appropriate nicknames please for band members along the
Cluedo character lines. We’ll print the best ones in the next edition.

Competition results
Loads of entries for the limerick competition.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
They were all excellent but our favourite, after much discussion
and a scuffle, is Neil Davis-Day Congratulations.
A copy of “Pack of Jokers” is on it’s way. The winning entry
is :
There was a young fiddler called Tom
An unfeasibly hairy jeune homme
His locks did fall out
Due to fiddling about
And now he resembles une pomme
