A very good singers' night last night at the Milkmaid – a feast of excellent music,
great to see so many young (and talented) performers there -
I thought I was mainly going out to play myself -

Just a few lines to say how much we enjoyed the Demon Barber Roadshow at the Apex

We had a great night last night and it was good to meet so many friends and friendly faces. Congratulations to Steve as well, because the PA was up there with the best. See you in November, if not before Richard Brazear [Four Blokes Ed.]

Just a note to say what a great night it was last week. The audience were dead warm and it was a great turn out, my worries about ticket sales proved to be unfounded. Thanks and well done mate .Cheers Vin [Garbutt Ed.]

It was very kind of you to fit us in at no notice. If we had realised how popular
the Milkmaid club is we would have contacted you first. Having seen the club I can
see why it is so popular! We would love to come back and do a proper spot. If you
could let me know what dates you have available I can check which ones don't clash
with our own club. We meet only once a fortnight so hopefully would be able to find
a mutually agreeable date. Thank you again for making us so welcome. Suzanne Tibbenham

We enjoyed the gig at the Milkmaid very much. You have a great sound-
but from what we hear from other parts of the country
it is the same everywhere. Doesn't look good for folk.
Best wishes, Mary [Humpreys Ed.]

Just a quick note of thanks from Jo and I for inviting me to be a part of last weeks
gigs in Bury at the Adult Learning Centre and Headway. It was really fun -

Steve must be one of the best sound men around -
It was also a treat to hear the Malingerers -

Just to say thank you for making me feel so welcome on my first visit to The Milkmaid last Friday (30th July). A very well organised and friendly club, I thouroughly enjoyed performing. Super club and super people.
Hope to see you all again in the near future. Best wishes -

What a wonderful evening with Sarah Grey & Keiron Means, the Malingerers were a superb support, please can you get them back sometime as a main act. Unfortunately I had to leave before the end as it went on far too late for me. Is it possible to have a shorter half time break and finish earlier as the concerts seem to be finishing later and later. Thanks Michael.

A belated Thank You from Gwendal and me for a wonderful night on Jan 15th and such
a great reception! Please also pass on huge thanks to Steve for doing whatever he
does so brilliantly, so that this complete novice with a microphone didn't have anything
to worry about! .... Thanks again -

Dear Milkmaid Folk Club, At last you've seen sense in dropping the floor spots. I will come more often now as will 2 others I know. Great news. Mike Rennie

i've been meaning to tell you how friendly and relaxed i thought your club was (unlike some others) and how great it is that i still maintains good quality acts. i thought steve, your sound man, did a fantastic job and was very attentive to our various needs. Claudine

I had a great time last night. Alex was fantastic, hopefully you get him to play again. I enjoyed Bella but it was the Irish guy from Last Night's Fun who really blew me away. Please, please book him to play soon. I went straight home and ordered 2 of Last Night's cd's and Alex said that he said the Irish guy (I'm useless with remembering names) [Denny Bartley Ed.] had made his night too. I'll definately be back again when my shifts allow. I'd love to play at your club it has a really nice atmosphere. Could you let me know when your open mic nights are please? Alan

Thanks for a great evening yesterday and for being so welcoming to my kids, especially Natasha! We thought all the acts were great, but Bella was absolutely fantastic. Please get her back soon! Sarah

Many thanks, Terry, for giving Chris and I the opportunity to play at Coldhams Common.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves -
One other thought about encouraging the public in -
I only found out about the Milkmaid when I met Linda and David while singing. I am sure there are others out there who would love to come if they knew it was there. Liz Miller

I had a really good time, its a nice evening, with some talented performers and a really friendly crowd. I will definately come again. Al

Thank you so much for a great night! I really enjoyed it and so appreciated how much the audience engaged with all of us performing. I thought the whole setup was beautifully run and I would love to come back and play again. I also thought the sound was great.... Pema Clark

What an absolute delight to have such talented young people as the Lizzie Doe band appearing as support for Flossie. Please can we have some more good young acts and have Lizzie back as a main act. Thank you. Ann

I'm sorry to say that I don't really think the floor singers before the support act is working very well.
It makes the evening too long and to be truthful they spoil the enjoyment of the evening.
Surely you could arrange another time for floor singers instead of spoiling the fantastic nights you give us. Mike
Posted Monday 26th Jan 09
Hi, is it really necessary to have two floor spots on before the evening starts.
Having the support act and main guest is enough for an evening. When you put on two (all respect to them ) poor local performers it takes away the quality of the concert.
Why don't you have more singers nights so these people can play then, instead of force feeding them to an audience there for quality. Anon

Catherine Craig & Brian Willoughby were fantastic and I really enjoyed Brians guitar playing, I could have listened to Brian on his own all night but Catherine added that extra bit of sparkle. I thought that Gary Breeze was very brave to play guitar on the same bill as Brian, but he did a wonderful job. Not so sure that the floor spots beforehand is such a good idea, maybe this should be moved to the open mic sessions so that we can hear more of the main artists. Eric
