Yes I think we will have to meet up again. Any of the other guys who couldn't make it should definitely make the next one.

Oops i hope we didnt scare off Duncan the singer,by the time he met us lot then Brandy would have appeared to be as sober as a judge,or a Steve Jones!!

It was good to (finally!) find you lot!Having walked up to the door, guitar in hand, I was an easy 'spot' for Brandy. Got a pint and sat with him while he bemoaned that no one else had turned up! He assured me he'd checked around inside a few times!So we sat chattin' - along with one Alan - a chap who knew nothing of the 'meet', yet who Brandy had discussed the agenda in full with - and 'hooked'! (Press ganged? Crimped?) - looks like a potential new member accrued through the accidental mix-up!After a few drinks and a long chat, when it got colder outside, we three decided to head for home - and only Brandy's trip to the loo (that's a song isn't it?) made the 'discovery'...So it was grand to meet the bunch 'inside' - put a few faces to names on here.I do hope you organise (the key word? - hah!) another meet - not put off at all, I'll attend again, no worries.Grand to meet you - DPS - No need wait for Otley Fest (Sept) - the full McF band play their folk-rock next at the Abbey Inn Folk Event, Kirkstall (lots of hand pulled beers are available there!) on Sat 24th May - it's absolutely FREE entry to the event - and we're on 'last' (guessing 10pm) on the Sat eve - it's open air - in their car park! Hope the weather holds!

Hope the weather holds! How selfish of the organisers to set it up for the 24th,im off to the Kaisers that night, i would definitely have gone.Duncan,get it all cancelled,arrange it for the 25th( after Leeds at Wembley of course) and ill be there!!Organistion for the evening was spot on,unlike Brandys eyesite.How anyone can go to the toilet a number of times over 3 hours and not see a table covered in maps ill never know,but it was could to meet you and Brandy.By the way,have you (Duncan) got any other music tracks i can hear on the net?
