See you there....
An excellent evenings tom-foolery will be undertaken over at The Gin Mill.Mr John Hasnip of Yeovil,Somerset,England will be performing entirely without the aid of a safety net,playing many a classic english tune with a fine splattering of Americana thrown in for good measure. So,come enjoy their superb food,washed down with a choice of gorgeous beers and relax,Mr John Hasnip of Yeovil,Somerset,England will take care of you.
They said it could never happen.Hasnip at the Higher Grounds,where Hurricanes hardly ever happen? But,its all true,he's there,the Hurricanes aren't. He will be demonstrating some rather fine Beatle tunes,thrown in will be some Elvis Costello,a little Green Day,some Del Amitri,a smidgeon of Squeeze,definitely some Who,almost for sure some Simon and Garfunkel,the list is endless,only,it isn't as it ends here.
So,no Hurricanes but plenty of Hasnip,hurrah......can i go now??
Yes folks,this is a Private Party in a secret location. I can tell you that there will be many fine tunes being played,with many fine people in attendance with some awesome beers and fantastic food stuffs only,its a private party so you can't come!
Ah,good old Waterville and Silver Street Tavern,good old Saturdays for that matter,what a great invention they are. I am going to be playing tunes from The Beatles,The Beat,Elvis Costello,Elvis Presley,Dave Goldsworthy and Miles Hunt and one hell of a lot more besides,Green Day,The Monkees,Simon and Garfunkel and Tom Petty and more besides that too,you know what,i might indulge in a few cheeky beers.....
Hey,its Old Hallowell day and i'll be playing in Hoxter's at 1pm,i shall be doing the whole Dark side of the moon LP dressed in velvet pants and a cowboy hat....well,you know,i say the whole Lp,maybe just a song and,you know,i say velvet pants when i'll probably be wearing jeans and,you know,i say cowboy hat,it'll probably just be my old balding head but other than that,the gig is as advertised.
I'll see you there !!

Saturday,Saturday,Saturday,Saturday!! Thats the gospel according to Elton John,who am i to disagree when he puts it that way. The Old Goat was never mentioned in the bible,nor was John Hasnip and i'm pretty sure the Beatles were only mentioned fleetingly so,put all that vagueness together and you've got,Hasnip at the Old Goat on Saturday 25th June around 8PM ish,Elton John won't be there and neither will the Bible,apart from that,everyone else will be...well,the Beatles won't but apart from that,everyone else will be....
