Strawbs Xmas party NPL Teddington Part 4

After this DL took over from DC using an acoustic guitar to lead the Rock and Roll section. The energy was really picking up with Kate and Calli leading dancing and the audience somehow creating some space where there had been none before – great end to this musical evening with fancy dresses galore.

Then it was all back to the taxis………………I think I avoided squeezing Sue in this time, although perhaps I did ? A fast trip – it seemed ! and we were all back to our original place of departure. Some decided FD had been on too long, (now before any is thinking Foggy Dew-O, because half in the shape of Danny Clarke had been at the party, please insert Fancy dress in place of FD )and changed but now sitting patiently in the bar and we were waiting for a strum to come along.

Much to our disgust the bar was going to shut at 1.00, but a little "gentle" persuasion kept it open to 1.30, which was pretty long enough as by then they had started running out of all of our favourite stuff to drink.

Well yes we did get to do a few "songs" ………….Mr G did need a little coaxing ( he was being a little shy) but soon him and Les and PR ( that's Pete Rand not our public relations guru) got in the swing as the rest of us mumbled the words. With out the inspirational Mr Brazier we never attempted "The Battle" but settled on some shorter
ditties and for now, Benedictus don't have to worry too much about us being a new tribute band in the making.

We called time around 3.30 and now I think I have given everyone in our Witchwood party a little mention, it's now time for me to end this little glimpse of Feltham and I am pleased say everyone was living happily in the morning.
