Millwright Arms, Warwick - 25/1/07

A welcome return to the town that started it for me.
I do like it in Warwick. I even got a nice reception when I arrived at the B&B
Went up to the Punchbowl, and it is closed for renovation!!! I hope it has the same character.
Any way discovered the venue had moved so off I walked.
Upon entry; what a reception. It is nice to know one has friends!
It was small and cosy but very adequateS1
Fifty things to do before I die… - Jon Chapman
If I was a Carpenter - Tim Harding

By now they had suffered enough.
I WILL next time join the jam, I have no idea how to, but I must learn. I am not too good at the theory.
Till the next time Warwick

Last Night!!!

Today was to have been the last day I was working at Leamington. Contract terminated due to overspend. I had planned a big surprise-leaving bash where the announcement was to have been on that night. So much for plans.
I managed to secure a new job, which I started last week (4/12) in Bristol.
I have found an open mic night in Bristol. I have visited it last week and expect to play next week.
I expect to visit soon probably over the Christmas period, so I look forward to seeing some old friends then.
