At last, my talents have been recognized!

[Steve Maskery]

I've just come back from a few days in Whitby. It was the Folk Festival last week, and I spent one afternoon in the Middle Earth pub at a singaround. I have a very small repertoire (no making up your own jokes, please), but my signature effort is a Neil Diamond number, which I duly sang, accompanied by my mate Bob and getting the rest of the room to take the part of the brass section.

The following day I was in Whitby, minding my own business, looking in a shop window, when I was accosted by a bloke and his wife.

A tap on the shoulder, and, "I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your rendition of Sweet Caroline yesterday. It was really good, thank you."

My ghast had never been more flabbered. I am the least professional of all the musicians in that room. But I have a fan, I've been groupied!

"Sweet Caroline, ba, ba, baaam,
Good time never seemed so good..."

He wasn't even drunk.

Spent many a happy session in the Middle Earth pub during Whitby Folk Week. Never heard anyone sing Sweet Caroline mind. Not that i'm a critic as i wouldn't have the bottle to sing anything myself, so well done.

VERY well done Steve. I've done a couple of bits of singing in public, including a solo spot (VERY nerve-wracking) and would you believe, NOBODY has "groupied" me - well not yet anyway, and frankly, I'm not holding my breath either!

Well done that man.

I had to sing Sweet Caroline whilst watching the Boston Red Sox at Fenway a few weeks ago. It is a thing apparently.

I've just been back to the same on karaoke bar (you can tell I'm on holiday). It wasn't very busy, just me, a bloke called Colin and one called Dave. Dave I'd profoundly deaf, so can't hear the music, but it doesn't stop him having a go. It's musically excruciating but everyone cheers him on. Coli and I sort of took it in turns.then a couple of Italian ladies arrived. One got up to sing.
She had the voice of an angel. And really tricky stuff, too. Think Aretha Franklin. We did a duo and it was just excellent.
Great fun.
