Hi there, a bit confused about the lucky dip. Can someone explain?

Cheers

Dont panic!

Our names go in a hat.  They are drawn out in 2s or 3s.  We have to perform a couple of songs in the chosen groups the following night.  Just a bit of fun, the results can range from wonderful to slightly deranged.

I see,  could be fun.....

Ahh.  That all depends who you get

Just down the road from our Euroweenie hotel, this happened at the weekend:

We had lunch there with Colm and Rosie when they came over in 2012. Very nice it was too.

Rosie and I saw this on the BBC Breakfast News this morning but we didn't know the location. We thought it looked a lot like the restaurant we visited with Blueshome but weren't sure! We had a great time. It is a lovely place with great food and views. These storms are really something!

I am planning to be there if I can remember to phone them....

This is where I embarrass Mike who, I'm sure, will be only too happy to identify others. Portsmouth Festival, Blues Weekend May 28th-30th, 1993. Photographer Bob Pearce. (click image to zoom)

Glad the perm has dropped out Mike it didn't suit you

[Richard]

Agree about the perm and nice to see you've kept your figure - I look forward to playing with you (metaphorically) again.

[Mike Shipman]

Thanks for that Alan, it doesn't seem like 20 years ago....
The perm belongs to my wife  Janet, next to her is my "big brother" Neil Slaven , then Alan "Bunker Hill" Balfour and, a rather more slimline me. Bob Pearce (who took the pic) is still, in my book at least, one of the best blues singers in the country.
That was a great weekend!

[Adrian_P]

Great to meet all of you.
All very enjoyable. Hopefully I'll catch up with some of you before the next one.....

Cheers

[Myk]

Yes a great weekend.  Good to meet everyone.

Great to have you guys there! The new faces really helped things go with a swing.

Thanks to Richard for settings things up again. A great time this year.
