After the Ball... more news...















A quick update from Tapped But Settling H.Q. - Frank has confirmed that we raised £324 for Rainbows on Saturday night.  There will also be some other donations coming in - more details after the festive season.  Thanks again to GU4 and all the performers and audience who made it such a special and fun night - and for a very good cause.  Oh - and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone from Frank and Rod...

After the Ball... Carols... Turkey... Phoneboxes... Superheroes...






A night to remember... GU4 and all the other performers gave of their best, with the night tipping into surreal hilarity in places.  Superheroes of folk music indeed.   And according to Mr Marmion, turkeys are not just for Christmas but for wearing on one's head while singing that sombre ode: 'The Hole in the Elephant's Bottom.'  You had to be there... A  big thanks to Bill Wilkes, Miggy Campbell, Pete Burnham and Karen Harris (and Humphrey with his flail!) for heading up a night that was not only jammed with great music and mucho fun but via the efforts of our generous audience raised a good sum for an extremely worthy cause. the Rainbows charity.  Final figure not in yet as there is other money to be added but as soon as Frank has worked it out it will be posted here.  Applause to all for their generosity and help - including the landlord of the Swan in the Rushes, Ian Bogie, Dave and the rest of the staff.








Tapped But Settling will be back with another production soon enough...
