@KindaScratchy - great stuff Diane - Thank you !!   That'll be 10pm my time - I'll see you there !

Good man @Barry - hope you can make it, your support is always appreciated !

OK folks - 7 days left to get 'em songs practiced !

Any more fiddlers around for "Fiddle On..." ? Thanks so much to all who have participated so far - we've had myself (3 sessions!), Ron, Barry, Diane so far - there's a couple more to come later ( Brian and Ripton ) - I'm going to do my best to stay up into the wee small hours of Sunday morning to catch you - if I fall asleep - I apologise in advance. And also a BIG THANKS to the audience - thanks for your support.... @Leana @Barry @coolpinkone @fiddlestix @cdennyb and anyone else I missed out there...

 I think Barry is playing guitar later - but there's at least a two, possibly 3 hour gap - anyone wanna pick up that fiddle - like NOW (this instant) and play ? LOL ( no pressure ! )

Thank you everyone for taking part or just being in the audience, really appreciated, and I'll post a final update later!

The next one will be "Fiddle On... Valentines day" - work on those love songs folks....  LOL   

Thanks for the "thanks" folks - it's appreciated.   Yes - it is great fun to do these things and, as @Ripton says - can be "motivational"

Thoughts about this, please, potential Fiddle On... participants ( oh - and / or potential viewers - it affects you as well )

I had intended a Fiddle On... Valentines Day.  As it happens, Feb 14th is indeed a weekend - and there will possibly be a lot of either parties, other events, folks just going out for a "special weekend" LOL.  It is also only 2 weeks away - so I was maybe thinking of delaying it until the end of the month (overlapping Sat 27th into Sun 28th)  and in an attempt to retain the "original idea" of a main theme of love-songs - maybe just refer to it as "Ladies Night" - where we (lads) play some romantic tunes for the lassies ( doesn't have to be anything terribly special - think of some of your old favorites and "stretch the point a bit" - Red River Valley, Tennessee waltz ) - and of course, the lassies can play what they like - it's their night after all !

I mean to say - RRV - that works !!!!

"For a long time, my darling, I've waited
For the sweet words you never would say
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For they say that you're going away"      <<<< improvise, and make that fiddle WEEP with DESPAIR at that point - hahaha - 

Even "Red Wing" -

"Now, the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing
The breeze is sighing, the night bird's crying,
For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping,
While Red Wing's weeping her heart away."

it's all good !!!!  See, it's EASY.....  so - lads - don't let the theme put you off !!!!

Any preferences out there regarding the date and time of the event ?    Let me know.

Oh, personally, as the event organizer, I prefer to do these things spanning - in UK time - a Sat / Sun just like the last one - simply because it's OK for me to stay up into the wee small hours of a Sunday morning to catch most of you playing late on your Saturday evening, rather than having to stay up till beyond 2 or 3 am on a Monday morning - which is not at all good LOL for the old grey-cells at the start of the week - but that's just my preference.

A decision needs to be made soon, I'll let this sit for a day or so to await feedback, and, if there is no obvious preference, I'll just make the call myself and take an "executive decision" 

Thanks guys....
