5/4/2026

Here are the audio clips from the Singers Night on 5/4/2026. We start with the regular songsters with their new song called Songsters followed by some fruit give away.. Mike lights the way next with some company provided by Tony. Phil has a quirky but seasonal poem and Diedre keeps to the correct season.  Victoria gives us a Huw Williams song, Lily recalls the West Midlands, Fi gets a bit wild while James and Liz hope for a bit of luck. Andy and Dave hark back to an old festival and even older river.

Here are the audio clips from the Singers Night on 15/3/2026. Following a well attended night, we will have a leisurely start this week with Uncle Pleb's sublime Noran Water followed by a canal themed song which is so new 'the paint is still wet!?' Victoria gave a nod towards St Patrick's night and then invited her zoom friends from Middlewich to entertain us. Dave told of a successful knight, Liz told of a less than successful Geordie poacher and Graham told fellow Geordie Victoria what makes a proper Geordie. Tony wandered by a tree and Ben wondered about clairevoyancy. Les, John and Aston told of John's Street and then of a bluesy day which put Rik in the mood for another bluesy number. Andy got in his boat before telling of past well respected American leaders.

1/3/2026

Here are the audio clips from the Singers Night on 1/3/2026. Steve was on his own and started with a cautionary tale followed by MIke telling of the sad deployment of high rise flats in the 60s. Victoria gives us a lesson in 'Geordie' speak, Tony sings of a bird and Ralph plays an O'Carolan piece. Carl and Helen tell of Helen's friend and then of Carl's female sailor. It was soon after Andy had queried the speed of time that he was then asking where all the time went. 

15/2/2026

Here are the audio clips from the Singers Night on 15/2/2026. Uncle Pleb start off in Donegal with the first of a number of Celtic themed songs during the evening followed by Steves setting of some words by a certain Mr Shakespeare. Victoria headed down south to County Cork and Tony went to the capital for a song written by Pete St John. Keeping the map open we head over to central England for a poem by Dierdre and then Liz brings us back to Manchester telling of a repository of interesting things. John is joined by his grandson, Aston, for a blues and then John's song about the early career of Bob Dylan. Dave ends the selection bringing us back to Ireland with a song he wrote with Sheila about 30 years ago describing the almost mystical magnetic pull to make us want to holiday there. Of course it could have just been the Guinness!!

1/2/2026

Here are the audio clips from the Guest Night with Ollersett on 1/2/2026. Uncle Pleb start off with another new song followed by Dave taking the audience for a ride.  Ollersett, the three piece from Glossop, then showed a faultless display of folk tunes leaning towards the Scandinavian variety. It's hard to choose between them so for those who dont know their jigs from their reels here are examples of them all finishing with a nun expected but most accomplished display of folk tap dancing.

18/1/2026

Here are NOT the audio clips from the Singers Night on 18/1/2026 due to the recording engineer hitting the record button twice this stopping the recording!! He has currently gone into hiding but when I catch up with him I'll give him a piece of my mind, thats for sure! Sorry

4/1/2026

Here are the audio clips from the Special Singers Night on 4/1/2026 featuring The Acoustibots who unfortunately chose one of the the coldest nights of the year to turn up hence a smaller crowd than usual. Uncle Pleb began by giving us their new song followed by its 'companion' piece so here they are. Victoria said something about Deep Purple but she meant the title not the band. Dave, flying solo for once, showed the more poignant side of Jake Thackray. We finish with one from each of the band with Richard revisting Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison, Tim had a Ronnie Lane song with a very singable chorus and Colin ends with his song which doesnt just have a singable chorus it might even rate ear worm status!
