Reply to : Oxford Trunkles
Thanks for a great night and thanks again for my request. I didn't think you would play it so it really has made my night.I shall be grinning all week thinking of that.....Thanks, thanks and thanks againTrunkles
Trunkles! I saw your hand! I saw your hand! Only a matter of time before we can piece you together completely...
It was a super gig, I liked hearing some of the 'old' stuff (Princess Royal I don't think I've heard Squeezy play since Caversham folk club three Christmasses ago!) and the new songs are great.
And lovely Mark the sound got me a stool to sit on too (I can't stand up for long anymore, I was in agony after Bellowhead the other week) what a star!
Cheers
Fi

Hehe, now I know what a Trunkles looks like :P (we were standing just the other side of that large speaker..)
And to completely reiterate - FABULOUS. We really enjoyed ourselves, particularly being able to get up and dance around madly and grin like crazy lunatics without people glaring. Well worth the slightly longer round trip :-)

Great gig last night! Fantastic crowd and great support too. My only complaint was the terrible beer - fortunately I managed to spill most of it on innocent bystanders because I was dancing too much. Hooray! I especially enjoyed the Rambling Sailor - it was the only thing missing from the Shepherd's Bush gig.
I appologise for doing the silly Prickle-eye Bush dance again - I was too drunk to stop myself.
I didn't get to see Trunkles either  Maybe next time...

Hee hee, I'm Firebird82's friend, and we have a Prickle-eye Bush dance too... which we were doing. How does your's go? Ours ideally requires lederhosen to be quite honest, but when that songs playing I don't care how ridiculous I look!
Trunkles, I saw most of you, but I'm a bit shorter, so the speaker obscured you.
AWESOME gig though, and the Half Moon wasn't bad afterwards either

It was an awesome night, I had a fantastic time... as did most other the people by the looks of the bruises on my toes from people dancing on them! Its got to be a good gig when you don't realise your injured till you get home, right?
I was gutted I couldn't go to the Half Moon after but I had crafty deadlines to meet.
I was also really enjoying the support, whose name I have totally forgotten, mainly because his rather good Sheffield accent reminded me of home! Le Sigh.
A great night, can't wait till the next time!

Lederhosen? Does it involve slapping your thighs and playing a tuba?
Our version involves miming being hanged - it's a literal interpretaion of the story. My housemate and I spontaneously invented it during the 2006 Oxford Folk Festival. I was doing it solo for the first time on Sunday. I am filled with ill-defined feelings of drunken shame - I often forget my inhibited English ways when I go see John and Jon. Of course, beer helps.

Beer always helps! You're not the only one... (I have mild feelings of mildly drunken shame, but then I remember how much fun I had, and suddenly they disappear!). And yes, minus the tuba you are entirely correct. of course, it was Betty that invented it...a curse of listening to Bellowhead on a long car journey back a couple of weeks ago..sort of a *thump thump swipe (across the steering wheel)* (I'm sure you can imagine just where in the music this happens!) :P I blame her fully for indocrinating me. Possibly not the safest way to drive, but the best dance you can do whilst maintaining general control of the vehicle...
Aha! We learned your one from the people in front of us at Shepherd's bush (that wasn't you, was it?). Brilliant!
Phew, what an essay...I'll shut up now :-)

Might have been me. Was there a strange man with an illuminous pink mullet?

That would be my friend James who may also have been there at the birth of our version of the Prickle-eye Bush dance (he sometimes tries to take credit for it, but he's wrong). I was somewhere nearby wearing glittery face paint and a manic grin. T'was a great night.
