It's here! The Bank Holiday weekend beer and music thread!

[WeeGord]

Let's rejoice in this warm weather, long weekend and the promise of a beer or two, much music and merriment though sadly not a Wembley Final.

Anyhow, onto more important matters now... discovered Fire Island Buffalo this week and was reasonably impressed I have to say. Looking forward to indulging in a few new ales this weekend too down in London Town, hopefully discover a decent find or two.



Musically, to get use started here's something for the weekend... literally.

yes gord!! here we go! just the boring old bottles of stella in the sun for me this weekend

the music has sadly collapsed into whatever the teenage daughter blasts over the sonos. the house music control is lost for the next 6-7 years i imagine!

I'm not drinking until later due to going to the pictures with my youngest son. When I get back I will be cracking open the Gordon's Gin. I nearly had one at lunchtime but realised I had to drive to the Showcase. I won't be drinking too much as I am dropping and picking plants up at guisborough_robs in the morning.

My choice of music this week comes from my sister-in-law's choice of music last weekend when she put on her Crosby, Still & Nash vinyl. Played them a few times through the week and had forgotten how good they were.

It's independence day here in Guyana, just had a nice BBQ out on deck
Music chosen by the Philippine crew

After reading "No Sleep Till Saltburn" from here a year or so ago I came across a similar book by a mate's mate "Hell Bent For Leather" so before I start reading that I'm filling up on Rush and Rainbow and Priest and Maiden plus others from years gone by. Loving "Xanadu" to bits right at this moment.

He'll Bent for Leather is as good as No Sleep til Saltburn I could do with reading both again.

I won't be touching a drop of alcohol until it gets dark guys, it's far too light for me

 

[Beverleyred]

Kicking off with a nice NZ Pinot gris to accompany a lamb bhuna. Enjoy the weekend guys and gals.

I shall be starting the evening off with a couple of these tasty bad boys






As for music, I will put forward this lady with a lovely unique voice. A song might I add, where some of the lyrics remind me of our wonderful message board

Bank holiday weekend so plenty of time for beer. Tonight I have a bottle of cheap Shiraz from Morrisons, tomorrow I think will include a trip to a beer garden.



Tonight it will be Mississippi John Hurt. Here is 8 minutes of pure bliss, 3 mins in when the song actually starts, shut your eyes and be amazed.

The weirdos on here who think that you and me are the same person are going to read what you posted upthread and they're going to think that you just forgot to sign into your bumface account.

I've just found a Pirates album of BBC sessions and it's great.

And I'm drinking out of season ale that's going cheap.
