Burst Water Main Closes Uppinham Road Oakham Photographs

Above Rutland County Council sent one of their communications officers to take a few snaps.
He also monitors my blog, I am surprised he had time to leave the office. Nice Camera.

Abi Moore performs at Red Lion at Market Rasen free entry

Hello Martin

Thought I'd send a quick email before I get ready for tonight's show
Red Lion at Market Rasen, 9pm-
Free entry if you fancy it! I'm hoping I may be joined by a special guest musician too!

It's mid- February already and I haven't sent any news or uploaded any new videos- apologies!
What I have been doing is coming up with a new show that I'm very excited about.
I've been scouring the land (well, Lincolnshire & Rutland) for the loveliest village halls in which to put them!

The new show is called Songwriters of the 70's and I'll be celebrating the best songwriters
of that era- Joni Mitchell, Carole King, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, John Denver, Bob Dylan,
Simon & Garfunkel et al. All these artists influenced my style and I thought it might be time
to pay homage to them all in a special show.

The first of these will be on:

Saturday, April 2nd- 7.30pm: Barkston & Syston Village Hall
Main Road, Barkston, Nr Grantham, Lincs, NG32 2NH
Tickets are £6 from Honest Records on 01476 560041, from the venue on 01400 250518 or online at: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/108091

It does seem a long way off but tickets are already selling without me having promoted it properly yet, so I thought I'd better let you know now! Each one will be a seated, ticketed, theatre- style show with candle- lit tables, and I may try and get creative and do some baking to treat you all in the interval too! There's a bar for non- alcoholic refreshments, but feel free to bring your own bottle.  This will be followed by shows in Wing and Swayfield in May- see www.abimoore.com for more details.

So that's it for now! If you're in Lincolnshire and can't make it to tonight's show (sounding like it's going to be fairly packed out already) then I'll be playing at Smiths of Bourne on Sat 26th Feb. I'm heading over to York on Mon 14th March to play at the very beautiful Basement Bar at the City Screen Cinema. See the website for more info!

Health and happiness,

Abi x

Councillor Nick Wainwright Confirms Rutland County Council's E-mail is not secure!

Councillor Nick Wainwright Confirms Rutland County Council's E-mail is not secure!

 
"I now never use the Council email facilities.  The system is far from secure and is open to abuse. "


Dear Martin,

Many thanks for your prompt reply and I thank you for your honesty.

I am quite happy for you to post pictures of me if I have parked illegally, after all I was clearly in the wrong and should be taught a lesson.

With regard to emails sent to either yourself or Town Councillors sign ‘Nick’, I can confirm that I have never entered into any dialogue with Town Councillors and I never sign-off emails as ‘Nick’.  You are probably correct in you assumption that this is foul play by others.  It is for this reason that I now never use the Council email facilities.  The system is far from secure and is open to abuse.

The irony of your comment about Facebook is that the only reason I registered was to find out if my daughter had an account.  I am totally against Facebook and any form of social networking on the internet.  I think it is very dangerous and have actively tried to get the website banned at my daughters school.

Finally, concerning my email comment you recall from last year, I think you may have taken it the wrong way.  I did not want to get drawn in to any fall outs you may have had with other members of the Council. I don’t harbour any bad feeling towards you and would like to keep it that way.


Kind regards
Nick Wainwright
