Does that include The Hertford Club, are they looking for new members?

quote:Yes the club is looking for new members, and I believe there is a discount available on memberships taken out in May which will be the annual membership fee, but no joining fee. The club is thriving since the new stewards arrived back in February - the menu is fabulous, the service is great, the place is already looking brighter and cleaner and there are plans for many improvements. It's a lovely place to have a quiet drink in relaxed surroundings - no noisey TV, no shouting and swearing, no kiddidrinkers and a lovely garden to sit in when the weather is nice. Well worth a look on Monday. [8D]

Excellent gig(s) outside the White Hart (first time I've been in there for years) Some good music coming from the Hertford Club.. Really good day to stroll around Hertford - maybe every bank holiday could be like this. Big, big applause to Kev Saunders for working miracles (this included keeping the rain off most of the time & supplying the brolly when it mattered!) And it still goes on - The Marquee I believe...

quote:Well the crossed fingers worked, for the weather held good and the sun shone over The Hertford Club (more than anywhere else, so I'm told by a pal at the Met Office). Double Life, Christine Yates, Keith Gunter, Jay Hollis, Emma Thompson, Tim Greenwood, Steve Clear, Penny Humphreys, Dave Yates and others under the heading of The Open Mic did the audience proud. The quality of guitar work was excellent, the humour and warm welcome made for a very good afternoon. The Woodstock Dancer (still around after all these years) admirably demonstrated how the Flower Power Make Love Not War Peace Man dancing can still be done with some practice. Keeping Music Live was certainly achieved. Well done, a thoroughly good afternoon's entertainment and all for free too! If you want more check out the Ram on the 17th.[:)]

Despite the weather and the thought that we would have to call the whole thing off, by 11.45 the rain had stopped and the sky was beginning to brighten... The event at The Hertford Club was absolutely wonderful - the garden and club were packed with people enjoying the music. I would like to thank everyone who performed: Jay Hollis, Emma Thompson, Keith Gunter, Tim Greenwood, Penny Humphries, Steve Clear, Elliot on drums and Ian on saxaphone, Jay Hart - uber roadie. A very special thanks to Dave Yates for all the hard work and effort that goes into putting on anything like this. Thanks also to the good and kind people of Hertford, Cuffley, Cheshunt, Harlow, Walthamstow and Battersea who turned up in droves to support the event, and last but not least: Simon - just for being so easy to pick on. There may be another event at The Hertford Club at the end of the month - watch this space. [8D]

A big thank you to all that performed at The Hertford Club in the 'Double-Life Open Mic Showcase' and all the people that came to listen yesterday. The weather gods were very kind! Organising these events is time consuming, so it is very gratifying that it appears to have been so well received. Details of future events will be posted here and on http://www.double-life.co.uk

Just like to add my thanks and congrats to both Kev and David for organising yesterday. Great music all round - no trouble, smiling faces, big crowds. Shows what Hertford can do. Hope to make this kind of event a bit more frequent.

Mr Barber - sir! You photograph very well, and for a nominal fee I promise NOT to photoshop it....... Once again - a great day despite the weather. I should also add my thanks to the god of blue skies for letting the sun shine over The Hertford Club for the whole duration of the gig.

A bit late, I know... But I'm glad to see everyone enjoyed the 'Musical Mystery Tour'. I've tried to get this to work before but struggled to get any enthusiasm but this time it really worked. It was brilliant. No attitude. No cost. Just great musicians playing in the town and making it feel like a great place to live. I do my best to get this stuff to work but this time the big difference was that David Yates was up for it and got his thing going at the Hertford Club and John Barber introduced me to Emily and Jodie and the White Hart, who were also up for it. Martin Smith at Zeros I already knew and was equally supportive, as were Chris Addison and Joolz at the Corn Exchange. Know what - when I looked at a pleasingly large crowd of mostly familiar faces, they didn't look like people earnestly supporting a worthy local effort. They were simply having fun and loving some really good music. And that's the way it should be. Next year, it could be even better. So thanks everyone love Kev

Thanks Kev - it was a really good day, and we were so lucky with the weather too! Sun shining on the righteous? Perhaps not.

Hear, Hear! For those who would like a reminder of how much fun was had in Salisbury Square on the day click this link. It takes you directly to a video on YouTube with a great soundtrack and shots of the crowd at the end as the titles roll. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8jPeb_bgT8

Good clips - particually soundwise. Brings back enjoyable memories. Wonder how many Forum members are shown (for the record I could see four).
