Main point no more ‘man in the white suit’. Howlin’ is now the ‘man in the blue kaftan’. He borrowed it for this gig and liked it so much a deal was done and he’s now adopted it.
The weekend started badly when both Dangerous Dave and the rejuvenated Lord Sutch pulled out due to throat infections so the music was cancelled.
Some local musicians picked up the baton and put on a bit of a show before Lord Sutch fresh from a 25 year residency at Pinner new cemetery made enough of a recovery to attend.
Despite only managing a reduced set due to his bad throat it was enough to prove what a great musician he is starting with the favourite ‘Jack the ripper’ followed by many self penned tracks. Just like our spiritual leader he’s a great showman but has the advantage that he can actually sing!!
Our hosts at ‘The Barn’ were lovely, even sending out for a mass fish and chip meal to feed 10 of us.
The locals were also very friendly (although there may be a backlash from some of the parents whose children we gave kazoos to!) and the town is lively with plenty of pubs. Perhaps a good venue for our conference?
