Grymoire support The Hurd 03/04/10 Red Lion Manningtree Essex 8pm

Blimey Vicar! Well, spring has definitely sprung at The Grymoire Observatory; perfect weather it seems for a spot of nude gardening! Clad only in a stout pair of tan brogues, Mr Scott beats down the blackened hemlock stalks with a whippy twig whilst his erstwhile compatriot Mr Shillaker, in nothing but a pith helmet and neckerchief jauntily sets to in the herb garden and tickles the stubborn winter sod into a fine, loamy tilth. As robins and redwings hop happily about in the dogwood, Mr O'Flaherty the postman (and husband of the terrifying Grymoire Observatory housekeeper and All Ireland gurning champion Mrs O'Flaherty) wheels his rusty penny-farthing up to the garden gate and raising his small, exquisitely crafted alpine horn to chapped lips, lets fly a low, sonorous note - baaaarrroooommm! Swiftly donning their rustic smocks Messers Shillaker and Scott down tools and rush to collect the post and to their delight, amongst the papyri, parchment, circulars and overdue gas bills, discover an invitation from their friends The Hurd to deliver their finely crafted nonsense at an evening of musical entertainment to be held at 8pm until 11pm in The Red Lion, South Street, Manningtree on the 3rd of April in the year of our Lord 2010. Further delights include Dragonfruit! Let there be jiggery-pokery!
