A happy result...

So, as a result of this turnaround from King's Place, I've had a rush of blood to the head and booked a ticket. Anyone else coming ?
Anyone fancy a TAW meetup before and possibly after the show (this worked really well for Ashley's 80th Birthday concert in Birmingham back in April) ?

But fortunately RT is still with us. So in this case it may be best to say, easy there, steady now and resist making comments about two left feet. Sometimes bad things happen to good people.



Arf!  Grin

Whenever Ric brought him on stage or talked about him at Cropredy, we used to go 'Hmm, Vo? What's that short for?' Any ideas?

Sad news re: Richard

From Gate to Southwell Festival. We are writing to share some unfortunate news regarding Richard Thompson, Friday's headliner.  He has had a serious fall, resulting in three broken ribs. On doctor's orders, he is unable to perform and must take time to recover. We send Richard our heartfelt best wishes for a swift and full recovery.
We know this will be a huge disappointment to many of you – and we can assure you that we share that disappointment. We were incredibly excited to welcome him to our stage. Richard himself sends you a message: "I’m very sorry not to be able to perform at GTSF this year — I was truly looking forward to it. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope very much to make it to the festival in 2026 instead”



Did he fall, or was he pushed?


Please tell me that I'm being oversensitive......
I'm sure the comment was posted with the best of intentions,but I don't find it particularly amusing in the circumstances.


Oh, come on... There's a Richard Thompson song called Did She Jump or Was She Pushed.  You do know this, right?  It's a joke, ok (albeit a mildly inaccurate one!)....

OK....I 'll admit to a sense of humour bypass on this one,  better luck next time... Smiley

It can be tempting to try and make jokes based on a songwriter's lyrics or song titles but then this should have been "did he jump or was he pushed?"

I suppose it's like gallows humour. I remember being shocked at a friend telling pretty sick jokes after Freddie Mercury died and he was a big Queen fan. Maybe it was just his way of coping with the sad event.

Apparently rumours of  the death of John Weider of Family in  2023 have been greatly exaggerated, due to a Wikipedia error.
