Banging Tunes and Smashing Performances at The 4th Bangers and Mash Night

I don't know if it was the news that Maggie was ending her stay at The George with the uncertainty that followed, or that the summer was quite a busy one, but the blog dropped a notch or two on my list of priorities. So while a few things had happened, like the birthday bash and Maggie's Farewell celebrations, there's not much in the blog. Perhaps I can do something about that in a summary of the year; and what a year it has been. The Open Music Nights has become increasingly popular and I had so many ideas for developing it further in terms of various stage area improvements and getting some really good paid performers to visit us from occasionally to provide a bit of inspiration, and then on the night I was going to ask Maggie about it she told me about her retirement plans.

The first indication that things might turn out in our favour came quite late in the day, and while October's Open Music Night had been guaranteed, the exchange only took place towards the end of the month. A brief chat on the phone confirmed that November's Open Mic Night was on, and a few days later, a visit to The George got 'Bangers and Mash' on the menu; well you can't have The 4^th Bangers and Mash Night without them really. “It could be a busy night Mel” I remember remarking. We had no idea.

When Friday eventually came around, it was another early start for me, and I was on my own as #1 Roadie wouldn't be finishing work until later. For a change, I was set up and ready to go by 7.30pm, all that remained was to make a quick change in the carpark. As it was, with a full house, kitchen under full steam and more musicians arriving, we were a bit late on getting under way.

No Strings Attached, with no strings at all.

The difficulty in being Master of Ceremonies for The Bangers and Mash Night is that most of the performers are also partaking in the bangers and mash supper. While there is a running order, it is a bit fluid. No one wants to belt out a big number when there is a danger of imminent burping, and I certainly don't want residual sausage on the microphone at the end of the evening.

There were ten acts on the list, so I invited No Strings Attached to open for us. Their first half performance was signature No Strings Attached,  ending with a very lilting waltz 'Ashokan Farewell'. They abandoned their strings altogether in the second half, rising to the a'capella challenge with the sea shanty 'Paddy Lay Back'.

Next up was 'Silent G'; named after the explanation Torgul has to give as to the spelling of his name. The G is silent.  Tonight they were in a decidedly blue mood. Blue Skies smiling at me, Blue Day, it's been a blue blue day. Their last song of the night was also a blue one; Guy Mitchell's 'Singing The Blues'.

There was fresh meat on offer this evening in the form of The A'Cappella Fellas. There is always a little excitement generated by performing strangers, we never know quite what to expect. I can't speak for the old days, but this was the first time since I took over that a barbershop quartet have performed at The George Open Music Nights. Being a busy night there was a two song first half limit, so their first two songs were Billy Joel's 'Longest Time', The Drifters 'Under The Boardwalk' and the an old St Louis blues number. We didn't mind, because we enjoyed it so much. In the second half, with one song only, they sang Bobby Darin's  'Somewhere, Beyond The Sea' followed by Billy Joel's, 'Goodnight My Angel'. A bit cheeky, but as this was the first time we'd seen them, and they sounded so good, I let them slip an extra one in. There definitely wasn't room for a third.

Once again the Mother Ship landed and king of the gizmo, Dangerous Derrick Meyer, gave us a signature performance. His first song of the set was Buffulo Springfield's 'For What it's Worth',  Jack Savortetti 'Written In Scars'. Sadly Derrick disappears after the fist half, so that was all we got to hear from him. Because I can't guarantee that my newsletter always goes out in time I'm going to mention his open mic nights. The first is at The Royal Oak, Crick on the last Thursday of the month. The second is at The Bulls Head, Stoney Stanton, on what appears to be the second Wednesday of the month. Derrick supplies the PA and Tracy is in charge of the list.

Alex has been to see us a few times now, and his performances always delight whether dueting with Derrick or on his own. Tonight he braved a couple of new tunes for us; the first, Sting's 'Fields of Gold', and then the Fionn Regan song 'Abucus'. 

Jason and Rachael killing it

Occasional Kilsby OMC performer Dave Pepper came along to lend us his support and to demonstrate his variety and versatility, beginning with a country song, 'Ain't Got To Be Rich'; which I knew to be one of his own composition. However, he was also responsible for the two Flamenco pieces, the first called 'The Dance' and the second called 'El Soro'

It is always good to have performers coming from Napton, except when it is the 'Night of Lurve' love song competition which they have dominated since its inception. Tonight Jason gave us 'God And Satan' by Biffy Clyro and then he was joined on the stage by Rachael for a very acomplished Buggles' 'Video Killed The Radio Star'. Sadly family commitments meant that they were unable to stay for the second half .

Steve had a little help to throw the curtains wide.

Sue turned up on her own saying that Andy and Paul were on the way. The name 'Sooty Sweep and Sue' appears to have stuck., though this evening it was Sooty, Sweep and Sue, and Hedley too. Their offerings this evening were Tina Turner's 'Proud Mary' and something by the Old Crow Medicine Show.
Their second half song was Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds' and then the snuck in another, Van Morrison's 'Brown Eyed Girl'.

Steve Edgar, possibly our best hope for The 2018 Night of Lurve, was accompanied first by Hedley on violin for 'The House of New Orleans' and Bob Dylan's 'It Hurts Me Too'. Then his second half finale was a more theatrical affair than we've been used to when he was joined for the chorus of Elbow's 'One Day Like This' by The A'Capella Fellas. It wasn't quite as startling as Grandad Banjo hijacking Ian's performance last month, but was spectacular enough.

Ending the evening was the Mighty MDF. They were joined by Tea Chest Brian in the first half performing 'Werewolves of London', and The Cure's 'Friday I'm in Love'. It wouldn't be right to let Brian leave without a song, so he gave us Putting On The Style'. Brian went home at the interval and the second half of the evening was brought to a close with The Water Boys' 'Fisherman's Blues', and Dire Straits Walk of Life, with Ross adding the harmonica parts.

The Next Kilsby Open Music Collective is on Friday 1st December. It feels a bit early for Christmas songs at the moment, but by then perhaps we'll all be ready for them, so bring them along and blow the cobwebs off them. Perhaps MDF will lead in some of their Christmas repertoire as part of their rehearsal for the Christmas Busking in Crick, which I think is on December 15th. I had better find out as I'm going to taking part.

Maggie's Farewell and the end of an era.

Maggie's Farewell sounds like the title of a folk song, and no doubt it's a sad one. This Maggie's Farewell was another packed open music night by The Kilsby Open Music Collective, and while there were one or two somber moments, the evening was mostly a celebration of appreciation for our lovely host, Maggie Chandler, who leaves The George towards the end of October. The Kilsby Open Music Collective, Open Music Night, once known as 'Paddy Wex and Friends', has been running for years. The last four years has seen the progressive development of the event from an acoustic folk music evening to a 'gig' with PA and lights. The latest addition being a multichannel mixing desk that #1 Roadie has taken a shine to. It was also the first open music night since the news of Tom Petty's passing, so a few of his songs found their way into the performances.

Proceedings began on time, ten minutes late, and I opened with two of my favourite songs

Mike and John follwed, with John on the spooky sounding autoharp 'Hardworking Boater' and 'Come By The Hills'.

They ended their evening's performance in the second half of the night with their rendition of the well known Eskimo mealtime song, 'Whale Meat Again'. Actually, it was an interesting delivery of the Vera Lynn saying good bye song

Nigel and Darren, as Odds and Ends with accompaniment by Hedley on violin. When I booked them in I asked if Hedley was joining them and they didn't know. At that moment, as if by magic Hedley appeared. Their Bob Dylan repertoire is growing and their delivery just gets better and better. Tonight we had a Ben E King sandwich. Dylan's 'You Ain't Going Nowhere', followed by Ben E King's 'Stand By Me' and then back to Bob for 'Knocking On Heaven's Door'.

Inspired by the prospect of Maggie's retirement Steve Edgar raised the cultural component by performing 'Leisure',  by Welsh poet, W.H Davies "what is this life if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare" with a musical accompaniment. This he followed

by the most popular funeral song, Frank Sinatra's 'My Way', not the sex pistols version, but one we all knew and joined in with.He ended his evening's selection with a superb account of Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven'. Hedley joined in on violin and between them they made the hair stand on the back of my neck.

It was great to have Stained Grass Bluegrass with us again. This evening they performed Special Consensus Band's, 'Leaving Town' followed by Gordon Lightfoot's, 'The Redwood Hills'

Left handed legend 'Dangerous Derrick' once more had the mothership of electronic wizardry at his feet for his delivery of Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks, 'Stop Dragging My Heart Around' and The Eagles, 'Take it Easy'. 

 

Pete and Marian provided the next Tom Petty song, 'Free Falling'. They were were then joined by MDF's Mark on accordion, The Levellers 'What A Beautiful Day'

The first song from Ian was a swinging version of Tom Waits' Chocolate Jesus.  This was followed by a song written for Nina Simone, but made famous by The Animals, 'Lord Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'.

After the break Ian began with 'Wide Eyed and Legless', but he'd probably had too much beer, so he stopped and performed Mungo Jerry's 'In The Summertime' instead. It isn't often that a performance is highjacked by a member of the audience, but John, mistaking an empty proseco bottle for a musical instrument leapt to his feet and puckered up very intimately. How Ian maintained his composure I'll never know, but he couldn't have minded too much as he invited John to join him at the subsequent 'Folk At The Oak' night the following Thursday.

An almost complete MDF lineup offered the last of the Tom Petty tributes, from their regular set list, Travelling Wilburys' 'End of The Line' and then a crowd pleasing rework of Bob Dylan's 'Maggie's Farm'. The lyrics of which were laminated and signed by all of the evening's performers for Maggie to take away with her.

The evening ended as they often do, with an ensemble peice; this time lead by MDF. 

The new owner of The George is keen for things to carry on, so we are back in November, though I can't say that there will be bangers and mash just yet.

Biggest July Crowd This Year!

MDF have had a couple of gigs lately and I've used the OMC PA system. The last one was Barby Fete on Sunday 25th June. No.1 Roadie and I got there nice and early and got everything nicely set up. All was well, and after the second set there were some grumbles from the audience. I would have dismissed them had one ofthe audience been No.1 Roadie. That was the worst I've heard you. It sounded awful. :-( Clearly the amp, at full volume, was on its limits, and the speakers were distorting.
It has been on my mind for a while now that the way to go is to invest in some higher quality gear.
And so it was on the Monday I was on the phone  to Music Express Coventry https://www.expressmusic.co.uk/ and talking active speakers. I've bought a few things from them recently, and they are always very helpful. A deal was done and a couple of Yamaha DXR10s went into the back of the van, only coming out of their boxes on Friday Night,

Mike & John

There's a little experimentation to go with levels before I've got the sound just right for The George, but with the additional support of an 800W sub there was no question that the difference was amazing. My thanks to Derrick for keeping me informed of how things sounded at the back of the room.

It was another full night of various genres and I began the evening's proceedings with a Bob Dylan cover, 'All Along The Watchtower'; this time with harmonica. Not sure how it sounded, but I think it is definitely in need of more practice. Sitting on the high-stool the guitar kept slipping down my thigh, making those barre chords very tricky. My second was one of my own. It doesn't have a title, but it is about one of my favourite subjects, 'death'.

Next up were John & Mike. Their first song of the evening was Van Morrison's, 'Brown Eyed Girl' follwed by Elvis Presley's 'Wooden Heart' with "einige einwandfreie Deutsch singen"

A baking July evening meant that the firedoor was open, letting a much needed cooling breeze through the assembly. That probably explained why it is that Hedley looked so cooldelighted us with his accompaniment and solos while our regular contributor Nigel Lewis gave us Bob Dylan's 'Knocking On Heaven's Door' and his own composition 'I'm Not Sure'; a song that gets better each time I hear it.

No Strings Attached

We haven't seen No Strings Attached at Kilsby for a while and it was great to welcome them back. Their two guitar  jigs and reels are delightful, and this evening, with the addition of a bit of bluegrass, was no exception. I missed the titles of this evening's pieces, but think the first was a reel called Jenny Lyn

Sandi &Torgul

Tony Collins

Without the rest of the band Sandi & Torgul are free to pick from a much deeper pool of music, and they had their dancing shoes on tonight. Poor old Leonard Cohen is much maligned, but one of my favourite songs of his is a spectacularly cheerful 'Dance Me To The End of Love'. This was followed with a bit of country and George Stait's, 'I Just Want To Dance With You'

Tony Collins has been heavily involved with this year's 'Folk on The Water' cuminating in an open mic at The Boat Inn, Stockton. I should imagine he is shattered, so it was good to see him this evening, and he brought along his harpsichord. He had his femine side on display this evening, with songs from Suzanne Vega and Bette Midler. The first being 'Queen and The Soldier' and then finishing with a song I've heard him cover a few times now,
'The Rose'

Pete and Marianne

Steve Bates

Steve Bates was on good form this evening. Noel Gallagher's 'Half The World Away' suits his style of playing and his voice very well. His second song was a self-penned song around the experience of  losing touch with your children. The title 'Miss You' said it all, and it was a very moving song.

Pete Nash was armed with a bundle of leaflets promoting his open mic night at The Bull, Clifton. You have to admire him for it, and it is a night I've been promising myself for ages. Tonight, with Marriane, they gave us the song of the night Melanie Safka's 'Look What They've Done To My Song Ma'
Pete's other song was the Harry Nilsson classic from Midnight Cowboy, 'Everybody's Talking At Me'

MDF was a bit thin on the ground this evening, just John, Mark and myself, and with the Crick Scarecrow Festival busking coming up, we decided to stick with the things we'd be playing over the weekend, beginning with a song about a train and then Guy Clarke's Baton Rouge. I wasn't expecting to be jostled off the mic, but Grandad Banjo wasn't missing out on the chorus.

No socks in sight - Steve Edgar

Steve Edgar was in plaintive warbling mode this evening, blasting me back to my youth with a bit of Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd. It isn't everyone that can carry off 'Stairway to Heaven'. Like many of the songs we all know, it is more difficult to sing well than it seems.
His next song was banned from guitar shops all over the country for at least ten years. It is still frowned on, but a beautiful song all the same, and one of my all time favourites, 'Wish You Were Here'.

Bringing the biggest ever first half to a close, it was half ten after all, was Dangerous Derrick Meyer and his grandson Alec; I'm sure that's what he said. Derrick started off with a blast from the past, Cat Stevens' 'Wild World' and then bang up to date with George Ezra's 'What You Waiting For'. He finished his solo set with Gordon Lightfoot's 'Ghost' before being joined by Alec and together singing 'Crying In The Rain'. The harmonies were superb, and I think The Everly Brothers would find it hard to do better; especially since Phil died in 2014. On his own Alec sang the Roddy Woomble song, 'I Came In From The Mountain'.
Something strange happened at 10.45 and lots of people decided that they had to go, leaving a few of us to enjoy a few songs, lead by Steve Edgar and to an audience of two and the staff. We started off with a bit of Bob, no not that one, Bob Marley and Three Little Birds, followed by Tony's suggestion, 'Working Man' and finishing on Be Bop A Lula.

Thank you to all participants and performaers, you were awsome!

It all happens again on Friday  4th August.

A truth universally acknowledged

It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is nothing like a nice warm summer's evening for an outdoor open mic, and Thursday's weather for Tony Collins' Open Mic in aid of Zoe's Place at The Boat Inn was nothing like a warm summers evening. Though that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of any of the performers, it did thin the audience a bit.

Well that's what Jane Austen would have said if she had been at The Boat in last night. I'd been keeping an eye on the weather for the last couple of very wet days and had my fingers crossed for Tony, who'd put in a lot of work organising the event as a part of this year's Folk On The Water and their appeal for Zoe's Place.

Wisely, I picked up a tarpaulin to cover the lighting rig in the event of rain, as it provided a little additional protection to the performers too.



The privilege of bringing the evening to a close fell to MDF, possibly as a strategy to get everyone to go home, who were ably assisted by Steve Edgar. Because one of the listed acts hadn't made it we got a little longer on stage; and on behalf of MDF I'd like to thank those that did stay for hanging on with us to the end of the night. It was not for the faint hearted. No1 Roadie hadn't been able to help me set up, because she was still at work as the first act got under way, but I was very glad to see her when she later appeared in the audience and I was very glad of her help when it came time to pack up.



Here's a photo of the sound man's view from the stage, as Napton's 'Soul Sisters' basked in the warmth coming from the audience, possibly the only warmth going this evening, unless you were sat under one of the patio heaters.

The highlights of the evening for me were a lovely set from John Wright, who we don't often get to hear on his own, and local legend Mick Bisiker's 'Rack and Ruin'.

Other performers that braved the elements were
The Willow & Tool, setting the bar very high with their opening set, Steve Edgar and also the lively Garrison Evolution Band.

June is bustin out all over

When a couple of regular OMC said they wouldn't be able to make June's Open Music Night I thought I was in for a quiet night. Wrong! There were ten performing acts of solo performers, duets and bands, and after a quick headcount it became apparent that they were outnumbered by the audience and it was standing at the back for quite a few.

In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the release of The Beatles' 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', the interval and changeover music was provided by the Fab Four (not in person, obviously).

We started bang on time, just ten minutes late, and I opened with Bob Dylan's 'All Along The Watchtower. It is a lovely, simple song, but it needs to have a harmonica on the go, so maybe for next time, unless I can persuade Ross to step in. My second was my own, 'Hole'. It was lovely to have a few people singing along, though this might suggest I need to rest it for a while. There's only six months to go before I can sing 'Under The Patio' again.


Second up was John and Mike. They gave a very accomplished performance of The Beatles, 'Lady Madonna' and Cat Stevens (I know he's changed his name, but he'll always be Cat to me.) 'Moonshadow'. Mike has a very distinctive voice, and when he picks the right song he can stop the room. Tonight's songs were both on the money.
Their second half contribution was a parody of Knocking on Heaven's Door with the story of a Welshman who wouldn't get out of bed and the many attempts to wake him; 'Knockin' On Evan's Door'.



Pete and Marianne dived into the nineteen seventies with two cracking tunes. Their first, with Pete singing, was ELO's "Telephone Line", which hurtled me back to my school days. This was followed by Richard and Linda Thompson's "I'm Only A Poor Little Beggar Girl", which Marianne appeared authentically angry in. I did struggle with the mic levels to capture Marianne's voice, as she had a tendency to keep the microphone just a little too far away. But for all that, it was a lively and enjoyable performance.



Next up, fresh from his triumphant sell out concerts, (well, it was raining outside so the beer tent was nice and full on the Monday when we saw him,) at The Crick Boat Show was Dangerous Derrick Meyer, along with his magnificent pedal arrangement. AKA The Mother Ship.

Derrick has become increasingly slick in his performances, and even managed to pose and smile for his photo without missing a beat. However, he still has to master turning off the harmoniser before speaking to the audience.😉

His first song of the evening was The Eagles', 'Peaceful Easy Feeling'. For his second song,

Derrick was accompanied by Alex, who lent his voice to some very nice harmonies on The Rolling Stones' 'Last Time' before staying up for one of his own, the second Beatles song of the night, 'Blackbird'. Derrick and Alex were both up for another song in the second half of the evening. Derrick with the X-Ambassador's, 'Renegades' and Alex with Yazoo's 'Only You'.


We've seen Nigel a couple of times on his own recently, and it was good to welcome Darren back to The George, and henceforth, they are to be known as 'Odds and Ends'.

They began with the steady and soulful Bob Dylan's 'Knocking on Heaven's Door'. This was followed by 'Handbags and Glad Rags'. It's hard to believe that this was never a hit for it's writer or for Rod Stewart, and but for 'The Office' probably wouldn't have been a hit for The Sterophonics either. Still, it is a cracking song.



Though it took until the the second verse to shake off the Bob Dylan song as the initial chord sequence was very similar. Nigel was on his own in the second half, beginning with one of his own compositions, 'Day Dreamers' and then the sing along classic anthem, James' 'Sit Down' in which we enthusiastically joined in with at the necessary bits.

Allan brought his bodhran and his guitar with him this evening. His first song,  'Black Leg Miner', on the bodhran, is well rehearsed, and the underlying brooding menace was palpable. It certainly helps that he has the accent for it. His second offering was on the guitar, and that was Christy Moore's classic, 'Ride On'.

Another opportunity for the audience to join in came when Allan sang Rita Macneal's 'Working Man'; a song well known by a few of the regulars. Allan's final song of the evening was Allen Bell's 'Windmills'.

 Torgul and Sandi weren't able to make it this evening, so we were without Shud B Band. However, Sue did come, and with her came Paul and Andy. I'm not sure how they felt about being announced as Sooty, Sweep and Sue though.

Everything was 'alright' for them in the first half as they started with The Travelling Wilburys' 'Well It's Alright' and then followed it with Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice, it's Alright'. The second half wasn't quite so optimistic, beginning with 'It's All Over Now'. Still, they ended on a good note with another crowd pleaser, Van the Man's 'Brown Eyed Girl'

 The star performer of this year's Love Song competition, Mick Bisiker came to see us again, and brought Nigel Ward with him. We were treated to a host of reels as well as one of Mick's own compositions 'Ball and Chain'. We had more of the same in the second half as Mick and Nigel played us out to the end of the evening, an eye watering 11.40pm

Mick mentioned that the band Rack 'n' Ruin are playing at The Napton Festival on 7th July.

MDF, bringing the first half to a close, were once again light on numbers, without Mark, Tracey or TCB.

It seemed a good idea to open with the song that we open and sound check with given that we have a gig coming up. So off we went with Arlo Guthrie's 'City of New Orleans' or as Ross says, "a song about a train". We do miss Brian and his locomotive whistle when he's elsewhere. This was followed by an uncharacteristically slow version of Guy Clarke's MDF favourite 'Wagon Wheel'.
With a few people needing to leave early we had an order shuffle. Our second half contribution was Pete St John's 'Fields of Athenry'.





Sadly, as I prepared this entry to the Kilsby Open Music Collective Blog I learned that folk legend Vin Garbutt has passed away. Many of us had seen him in concert over the years, and the world of folk music will be the poorer for his passing.





We are back for more fun on Friday, July 7th.

Acoustic Anarchy

HI George

Some notes on Friday

a select few attended with some audience toward the end who kindly said they were impressed by the performances.

Not everyone had read the email properly so some punk offers were under cooked or non existent

MDF kicked off without BJ or George or TCB, with London Calling, getting in early since George had "kindly" pointed everyone at it on the email link, we needn't have worried as... not everyone read the email... then followed by our offering a raggedy version of Town Called Malice, not helped by our busking mic failure so the Girl's vocals were a little lost.

Pete (from Clifton) with wife Marian kicked off with the Oasis Half the World away to warm up and then wacked into Julian Copes World Shut your mouth, a proper punk anthem.

Tugril and Sandy were guilty of not reading ht email and sang Side by Side followed by Blue Moon at a decidedly ordinary non punk speed.

Steve stepped up with a rendition of Paul Wellers Wild Wild Wood and then with what proved to be a winning performance of Psycho killer by the Talking Heads, complete with French lyrics.

Paddy gave us a song I wrote down but cant read my notes on and then Green Day's Good Riddance which we haven't heard him do for a long time, well done Paddy.

Finally Allan with 2 "l's" sang Ride on by Christie Moore and then Windy Harbour, Allan said, "what's punk?" (he didn't but he might have)

Psycho Killer Qu'est-ce Que C'est?

after a break we wheeled around again in the same order MDF : End of the line, Bad moon Rising and Long way Home

Pete and Miriam a lovely self penned song about their daughter leaving home and then Fat Bottomed Girls

T & S When I'm 64, a Ewan McColl song (no notes from me)and dedicated follower of fashion

Steve, bravely wearing the black bin bag of anarchy, awarded for the winning punk rendition gave us Dont Worry about a thing, a John Martyn song and Squeezebox (Who) and then Psycho killer again.

Paddy: Sam Stone, Sweet Baby James and El Paso

Allan: Blackleg miner on the Bodrum, Working man and Windmills

Most of the ensemble then got up for a rendition of Chip Shop and then
Wagon wheel. We were joined by a chap from the audience who asked if he could play the Cajon, his name might have been Chris but by then I was losing the will to live, anyway he sat down and battered the bloody living daylights out of the old girl. It transpires he lives in Kilsby and sells... musical instruments.

It remains to be seen if any of the artists or Chris are ever seen again.

We also had in attendance Mrs Fleming's third son, who unfortunately had a shoulder injury and couldn't join in, but made his presence felt by boosting Maggie's takings, every time I looked up he was at the bar, "mines a(nother) pint please Brian"

cheers

don't ever ask me to do that again
