Please make your contributions to the TCT privately, but let us know how much so that we can add it to the total we publish afterwards.

Please let those of us not attending in person know where/how to send our (financial) contributions.

I'll raise a glass of something a little less atrocious at home!

(Unless I can knock up something unpleasant and bring it over for Thursday lunchtime at the Cricket Club... let's see what our shops can provide - Lidl, Aldi, Halfords, etc)

We will be happy to do the collection again.

Great, would be a shame to abandon it!

A 3CD  live album of Danny Thompson's whatever  from Jazz in Britain.

Once again I'm reminded of the  passage of time. Must have been the  80s i  saw the band at a small  local venue.

I do hope that the revolting potions are a brewing for the Toast this year.

I suggest 8.00pm at the bar, just after Hayseed Dixie unless anyone objects.

As usual, there will be a collection for Teenage Cancer Trust, so bring your pennies (or more) please.

Do we have a volunteer - or a nomination - to do the Toast this year?

See you there.

From the people who brought you Songs from The Blue House. Try some, buy some. https://helenandtheneighbourhooddogs.bandcamp.com/album/anything-that-moves

My only experience of her in the flesh was at the Vetch when she was introduced pitchside at half time 30 odd years ago.  The reception was 'mixed' but she seemed to take it all in good humour.  I recall her miming (presumably) along to a few of her hits but I might be wrong...the 90s were a bit hazy at times.

That gives an impression of the woman as well as the singer.
Sad news.

She was a Swansea legend, would arrive at her local pub and sing all evening with the locals.

She'll be especially mourned in South Wales.
