Anyone interested in comic music Sunday evening?

At St Luke's on Victoria Road, we have tomorrow evening (http://gdvibrations.org/index.php?option=com_events&task=view_detail&agid=6&jevtype=icaldb&year=2008&month=08&day=31&Itemid=43)

'STEPHEN TABERNER and BEATRICE the Double Bass in concert, supported by GRANDPA GEORGE AND HIS JUMPING FLEAS UKELELE BAND 8pm SUNDAY 31 AUGUST COST £8, £6 Stephen takes to the stage with his beloved double bass, Beatrice, to titillate your ears with a sly array of quirky, funky and melancholic songs exploring, amongst other things, teenage angst, the existential life of goldfish, and the secret life of peaches. Grandpa George will be singing a harmonious and light-hearted cocktail of carefully constructed ukelele -accompanied delicacies to delight the ears!'

It's just down the road from me and looks as if it might be fun; would anyone care to join me?

It does indeed look fun! I'd be up for that.

Looks out of window at increasing rain; is not fancying walk. Could get cab if you're dead keen?

Am not that keen, also am rendered fairly comatose by over-indulgence in wine at lunchtime. There will be other ukeleles in the long run.

Eh. Goes to put Mitch Benn on instead for comedy song time :-)

I suspect you had a better time than me. The ukelele group was quite fun, except that the mikes weren't working quite right and you couldn't hear a word they sang; the lead act was a particularly self-pitying Ozzie blues type who demonstrated both that he couldn't write funny songs and that the double-bass is not a great choice of instrument to accompany oneself on. Not worth a cab; not worth the entry fee; scarcely worth a five-minute walk in even not very hard rain had it been free.

I probably did in that case, Mitch Benn being jolly good fun and all that. 'Tis a pity.
