Playing for the President!

The 'Sods have been invited to perform for the Presidents' Night - not in the White House but in a large Birmingham Club on the strength of our performance at the CAMRA Birmingham Beer Festival.

The gig is on June 28th but it's a private party so we can't plug details. Nevertheless it's good to get the prestige gigs as a result of recommendations from people who've actually seen us play (in contrast to rumours from people who haven't!)

Meanwhile some changes on the Denbigh Arms front. Same format - new name. The 'Denbigh Arms session' continues to meet on the last Sunday of the month in the famous upstairs room of the Denbigh Arms, Monks Kirby, featuring members of The Oddsods (usually Pete, Richard and Paul), members of Dark Island (usally Bob Brooker and Ewan Cameron), the excellent singer-guitarist Colin Squire, plus anyone else with talent on the vocal and instrumental departments.

The next session is Sunday June 29th. We'll be taking a break in July as many of us will be at the Warwick Folk Festival, then it's business as usual on Sunday August 31st. Come in your coachloads!
