That's a shame.

I first saw his name on the sleeve notes to more contemporary stuff in the mid eighties like David Sylvian's first solo album and a couple of Talk Talk albums, then traced his work back to John Martyn and Nick Drake.

I feel like I owe him a pint for that.

Yes, he worked with Richard Thompson, as well.

Sadly you've missed your chance to buy him a pint ....

I never took to the Thompsons - maybe it was something to do with Richard's hats - but I still listen to 'Solid Air' and 'Five Leaves Left' fairly regularly.

It's incredible to see the volume and breadth of stuff he contributed to outside of 'folk-rock'. It'd make a pretty eclectic playlist.

Clearly a very talented bloke.

Did you ever get close to having him at one of your 'Goose' gigs?

Who? Danny Thompson or Richard Thompson?!

I don't think we could/could have afforded either of them! We only started the Goose in 2008.

Danny Thompson to the best of my knowledge (understandably given his instrument) only performed with other musicians, usually very well known.

It never occurred to us  to ask about Richard Thompson. I think we just assumed our venues would be  too small, even DHFC.

Danny Thompson, really, but I suppose it could apply to both of them.

Reading through his (partial) discography on Wiki, a couple of names came up that I recognised through the biographies you sometimes post about the artists at 'Goose' gigs.

I kind of hoped he may have turned up unannounced to help out a mate whose regular bass player had double booked. Or he just fancied a couple of pints and a night of folk. Something like that.

Ah, fair enough. Sadly no.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.

      Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.

      Milk delivery

      There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.

      I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
