thanks for the have a go tendancies displayed at this night...spesh for the opportunity to let me have a go too! feedback seemed good so glad you liked what occurred and if i have another tune i cant work out the chords to i'll be back....tabitha

I would like to say well done to Chris and Frankie on their Debut and please could you tell me where I can get a copy of Daughter of the Moon, which I think is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. You guys did brilliant, first time and first up and I think you should be really proud - Frankie you have a gorgeous haunting voice.

Hear hear, Riders was a a real tribute to Paul's persistence in putting a quality "cabaret" night on. Chris and Frankie's opening set was a difficult act to follow and raised the bar for all performers.Loved Tabatha's interactive quiz, very brave, quite surreal, very entertaining. More, more, or maybe just a little dripped gently over time. But enough of my fantasies. Is the Socialist Club a "good" venue, be i'd be interested in what you think?

Hi Dave.

I think the club is excellent.
You just need the candles back.

fear not if the health and safety socialist party don't want such item

Have an idea young man.

I can supply Paul with small battery operated table top LED flame simulating candles. they are quite neat and groovy.

Also I can supply another slide show which will help with lighting ammmmmmmmbiaaaance

anything but the ageing queens of the 60w bulb

oh 60watter your days are numbered
oh 60 squatters you kept them warm
with tungsten filament the future spawned
a replacement
formed under your own light!
the paradox
knocks on the door
in the form of LED no less no more
but economical

i like the venue because of the quirkiness
its also next to pizza xpress
great place to de stress
when one is in a mess from
running late
failed the test
to be on time
you see Dave

also

Love the strange goins on downstairs
and thut dodgai mezzures on 'the gil machine
the wrinkled fingers inbetween
the polythene draft sheets
round the back
the cobbled street

its bohemian

you change venue

you could damage riders

unless you find somewhere with equal appeal

to rank outsiders

such as I.............

Peter

Hi Ya All,

Yes more candles definitely! It's so much kinder to those of us paranoid about wrinkles, I know so young(ish) and still so terribly, terribly vain!!

Mr Crompton you seem to have a machine for every occasion, you really are a mechanical genius!

Perhaps we could have more and try burning them at both ends.

Yep, it is a great venue for experimentation (He's an Indian research chemist, seeing as you're asking).

I don't particularly like the venue, although the flushing cistern adds a certain ambience, admittedly. But changing venue is not easy, unless it went to somewhere lke the Dog, but then you are - as at Wigan - at the mercy of the boozers whom you cannot ask to shush. I do like the relative calm of the Socialist club - an Oasis of same midst the broiling dipsomania of fabled Bradshawgate.

You cant put riders on at the Dog!

As you say Julien, too noisy!

There is nothing worse for the poets than all that godddddddamn noise

I thought about that phoenix club but, Im stuck on the socialist club. Don't know why I just like it.

I'm sure we could improve things there....
