Eamon Greene croaked his way around, having had flu all week, on one occasion starting with ' ............ In comes I who’s never been before, and I'll tell you of a sick young man before the day be o'er......'
Team Photo taken at start, but no Eamon Green -collected on the way, and no Rob Whitfield, he was to have been the horse but was in bed ill. Jim Hancock took Photos at Gainsborough. Landlord at the George took Photos.
Kate Bilmore, (Marine Sergeant Major) on Piano accordion, Peter Barnard (Medieval Knight), on melodeon, Jon Brockbank (a friend of Peter Barnard, in York Longsword, Military style costume) on fiddle, and Jerry Oakes, dressed in 1990’s; on fiddle all helped to play for the Jag at the three Gainsborough venues.
Brian Dawson caught up with the Jag at Blyton and treated us to a song and a few reminiscence of the Jag. Brian said that he had never played a character in the Jag, but had performed as a musician at sometime.
