This was a really good evening. The Domino Players did lots of Christmas readings and Pandemonium played some Christmas songs and tunes. The readings were rather good – many were hilarious – and our music was well played (unlike our previous time at the museum). Everyone had mulled wine and mince pies at the interval. . . . → Read More: Carols around the Christmas Tree Started off with a phone call. Can I play at church this afternoon? Yes, no problem. Can I play bass? Well, I’d rather play guitar as I am bringing it already. So I played guitar. Probably a bit superfluous, but hey. Then after the service at 5pm, Greengage turned up.

That left me, on my own, with just . . . → Read More: Vale Islanders at the Abingdon History Group The Cornucopia Christmas meal was held at the Sylheti Spice this year. We all had a really nice time. The food was excellent and there was loads of it. And it was very cheap. So the evening was cool and the curry was hot. A really lovely concert performance for the WI.

Pandemonium sat at the back of the Parish Church in the freezing cold and waited and waited. Lots of good music was heard. I met Nigel dressed up as a shepherd. His sketch with Neil was fantastic.

Spent a lovely time with Justin, Charlotte and Graham putting the final touches on our Christmas Repertoire, especially for the Chamber of Commerce next Tuesday. Hope they appreciate the effort that’s gone into it! 28th Nov Over to Justin’s house to meet up with him, . . . → Read More: Greengage practices Started off at the Vale and Downland Museum playing with Pandemonium. Not the ebst gig we’ve ever done. Not quite how or why, but none of us was on form. Oh well, never mind. It’ll pass. Then off with Annie to play and dance for the Vale Islanders. Oh bum. It was called off at . . . → Read More: Dickensian Evening Great evening playing at the Crown and Horns, East Ilsley for those who were celebrating (and commiserating) after the Hennessy Cup..
