Greyhound shooting

3rd September 2006

There's a sign next to the car park of the Greyhound Pub in Sutton Stop - it says Greyhound Shooting Club. Obviously tricky, those fast-moving targets.We were this afternoon's live show for the pub's beer festival and it was a great family occasion. We saw parents dancing with their kids, an 85-year old woman dancing with her grand-daughter (they were like a couple of girls dancing round their handbags at the disco) and we even sang happy birthday to a 2-year-old! A group of teenage lads turned up, trying to look mean and moody but even they stuck around to listen to us playing Wild Rover! I think they were stunned.As it was a family show, we asked Paul to sing only the first five verses of Seven Drunken Nights.One guy asked us if we could play 'The Three Leaf Shamrock'. Had us puzzled - anyone heard of it?
