You are all cordially invited to attend a Session/Gathering on Saturday the 20th of November.
The Place
The Bear house on Angel St of Rochdale Rd.

The Time
8:30 pm ish.

We'll be in the upper room which is non-smoking but your OK in the rest of the pub, which serves a well kept selection of Real Ales with a traditional Cider and Perry (if you are seeking oblivion).

I'll arrange for some free grub, so please let me know if you want to attend.

Be there or be a polyhedralrectilinearparabaloid.

John, apologies for the delay in replying, I've not been well of late

Are there any half-decent hotels in the vicinity? I'd probably want to take a couple of days off, come up on the Friday, and maybe bimble back to Swindon on the Sunday or Monday, make a weekend break of it.

Yes, it's a long way from the suburbs of Edinburgh to Manchester...

Hope your better, Gary.

Provided Dale let's me borrow DaleForce One, I'll pop on over for the fun.

Bloomfield: I thought that you got sooo tired when travelling to, uh, do anything? You would fly to the UK to play a whistle, but.....?

All the Best, Tom

Hi Gary I'll see what I can find out, how posh do you want to go?

I'd be up for that - babysitters permitting! Count me in

Ditto me, if I can get the childcare I'll be there!

As far as hotels go, not so posh that any ladies I might meet will go "Gor blimey, 'e's a real toff an' no mistake!" like they did in Whitechapel when I lodged there for a mere 2 and six a night. But not so unposh that you have to share space with that gadger from the front cover of Tull's Aqualung album, like that time I spent in Tower Hamlets (but we won't go into that).

Blimey. If Becky's gonna be there with her pipes I'll leave my instruments at home and just bring plenty of batteries for my recorder (and a towel to mop up the drool!).

Bloomie, I'm much better thanks, apart from the dregs of a hacking cough which is making it impossible to play whistles and flutes. Probably a flashback to that time in Tower Hamlets...

Cor! Looks like this could be a rather splendid gathering!

P.S. I'll be far too embarassed to play in public, but I'll bring my whistle anyway and after a few you never know. (Anyone got any ear plugs?) It'll be good to listen to a few maestros and maybe I might learn something (evan if it is not to attempt to whistle after you've had a few!)

Manchester is a LONG way for me to go.... but I'm tempted!

If its at all likely I'll let you know

Sorry about increasingly-frequent forays on to lists other than those where I truly belong....

Are we talking just whistlers here? How about harmonica players?? My mum and dad live in Radcliffe, and I always come up for a weekend a few weeks before Christmas....

Cheers!

Sorry, me again, if I do manage to get the childcare sorted, I may treat myself to a weekend of retail therapy as well! I have friends near Manchester, but quite fancy doing the hotel thing and making a weekend of it, so if you do find a local hotel can you post the details on the board? I don't fancy the Jethro Tull hotel either! A nice little B&B with ensuite Jacuzzi , multi gym, and chocolates on the pillows would be good! (Joke)
