Street organ gig Friday

Info here.

I’m going to attempt around 20 (new) arrangements selected from this repertoire list. Come along, give me some feedback, help with grinding, and join in with this song:

Oh, my old man’s a dustman
He wears a dustman’s hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
He looks a proper narner
In his great big hob nailed boots
He’s got such a job to pull em up
That he calls them daisy roots

Some folks give tips at Christmas
And some of them forget
So when he picks their bins up
He spills some on the steps
Now one old man got nasty
And to the council wrote
Next time my old man went ’round there
He punched him up the throat.

I’ve also put together a simple agenda with XML, iCal and HTML which you can add to your own calendars. This is in course in addition to the blog post feed, to which you can subscribe with Google Reader or similar.

Unfortunately I don’t know any good bars round there.
