Being Friday the 28th of August, 2015 ...

It having been widely advertised that we were to be privileged to have Berry as MC, people were clamouring at the door.
Some even managed to park their vehicles on the Guide Hall forecourt ...


Look ... no scaffolding!

However, be warned, those of a sensitive nature, there are things that might go 'BANG' ...



Berry opened with a song that anticipated maturity ...


When I'm a man, my plan ...

In contrast, accompanied by Berry, Paul acknowledged the benefits of being old and grey ...



Lynda charmingly transported us to Thomas Hardy country ...




Yvonne and Mike took us to a catering establishment ...

I'd like a burger and chips please!

There was the customary variety of accounts: romance, loves lost and found, only one hanging; no cross-dressing, no incest or infanticide, no suicide - not even a single lost limb!

There were collaborations ...

Here are Doo-Wah and Diddy ...

Gerry came along with June ...

June is the pretty one.
She sang a song that
translates from Korean as
The Lighthouse Keeper.

Now, what slings and arrows of outrageous fortune has Mike P. been suffering recently?
Mike talked about a freezer disaster and spilled curry-sauce.
Then he demonstrated a new pair of percussive instruments ...

Well, well, well, well ...

To finish we once again addressed this conundrum ...
Do you heave an anchor, or do you haul it?
Actually - neither ...



Heart-felt thanks to Berry for looking after proceedings so courteously/entertainingly/engagingly/equitably/charmingly, (and lots of other adjectives!)
... and indeed to all those faithful souls who wisely avoided the bank holiday traffic queues and cancelled trains.
This was one of the best attended evenings of the year so far, and the quality of performances just keeps on getting better.
Who needs CarFest or the Reading Festival when we've got The City Folk Club?
We have no mud here!
