Towersey.
A huge big thanks to everyone who turned out
for our special "Pack of Jokers" launch gig at
Towersey. The spontaneous dancing and other choreography
was absolutely fantastic and we all thought it was one of
the best gigs we have had the pleasure to do. Sorry if you
didn't get a glass of bubbly at the start but we really
didn't know how many people were going to turn up. The whole
weekend at Towersey was a blast and we all had a thoroughly
great time. Hopefully we will have some photos to put up
on the "about to be revamped" website so look
out for those. There are also lots of reviews of "Pack
of Jokers" coming in with plenty of quotable comments
to enjoy. Our favourite at the moment is from Sheffield
based Stirrings magazine and it goes "The Whaps have
completed their leisurely transition from a folk band with
a rock rhythm section to a fully-functioning roots-rock
juggernaut" - good innit? Expect to see "roots
-rock juggernaut" appearing on publicity in the not
too distant future.

Here Comes the Groom
Mike in marriage shock! - "Probably the most handsome member of the Whaps"
(his own words), Mike Coleman, is tying the knot on the 14th October and later
on getting married to his long time partner, Lorna. Both are said to be
"thrilled" and looking forward to a long and happy life and, as Lorna points
out, "He's away a lot of the time so it's worth the risk". Suggestions for
Mike's wedding outfit gratefully received. |

Last Month's Competition
Not such a good response to last month's competition for a new musician joke.
The best (and least offensive) entry came from Helen Thorn who wins a copy
of "Pack of Jokers". Congratulations! This months competition is
featured opposite. |
