Greetings one and all

It’s been an interesting week for both the Shelf & the Deltas and it
looks like this weekend will be interesting as well – this Sunday
5th December at the *Music Palace **159a Tottenham Lane **Crouch End**
London N8 9BT*

*Elephant Shelf is on with Chris Farlowe & the Norman Beaker Band, the
evening will also feature a short set by Jack Shay & Midnight 36.*

A couple of other things to mention – Tonight, Friday DELTA LADIES
are Tony Bell’s guests at *Brooke’s Blues Bar
*http://www.brooksbluesbar.co.uk/
final night jam session. We’ll probably get to play a tune or two
and drink lots of real ale and get highly entertained by Tony & Ann
Bell.

Saturday night 4th December Elephant have a very long standing
engagement at *The Froth and Elbow* *(183 High St S) Pub, 183 High St,
Dunstable LU6 3SJ*

That’s it really, we escaped from snow covered France on Tuesday –
nearly got stranded on the M25 – what a nightmare that was – why
are the French so much better at dealing with snow than us…but never
mind we had a fantastic Saturday night over in Bezannes close to Reims
and got to play on stage with *AWEK* www.awekblues.com
<http://www.awekblues.com/>
in front of 800

That’s all f’now

Love

Vicky. Diana, Terry, Rosie & Robbie
