The whole story:
Jamie Artt told me about an upcoming Neil Young night in a coffee shop in Belfast. I logged onto the appropriate forum (fastfude.org) and here’s what I found:
“gerry norman
Sat 25th Oct 2008, 1:04 pm
After the success of our Bob Dylan night we decided we must put on a tribute night every few weeks and I was told by the crowd that the next must be Neil Young. Anyone interested in playing on 19th Nov to pay tribute to their hero drop me a pm. Doesn’t have to be a solo thing either, we found out we could accomidate 5 piece bands in the shape of Sparks Fly.
I’m now booking acts for gigs from now until Xmas with (fingers crossed) a couple of special guests thrown in. I’m looking for some established acts as well as first time giggers. One thing I can guarantee is that everyone will listen to every word you say. If you don’t believe me ask anyone who has played
Oh, and il give you a caramel machiato.”
I thought “Sign me up!”, and sent Jerry a PM. The quick reply was positive, and I had myself a gig! I recruited Andy to accompany me, and we practiced for a couple of weeks. We got 3 songs ready, arranged with banjo & guitar.
Fast forward to tonight, and there’s me in Charlie’s at 6 while Gerry is still setting everything up. We had a great wee chat. Turns out he’s a fellow southerner. He’s from Sligo, and went to the same school that currently has my CV and won’t reply to me!
People started flowing in gradually, and the whole thing got started by half 6. I was in my element listening to the guys who were on before me – the quality of Neil’s songs is superb, no matter who sings them.
And then it was my turn.
As soon as I came back from the toilet Andy was on “stage” setting up, so I got my banjo out and tuned it during the interval. I then asked one of the other singers to video my set. I could sense that people thought this was a bit weird, so I covered myself by explaining that I have at least 96 CDs of Neil bootlegs, including video of entire concerts. “I’m all about the bootlegs” I said, as I gave him my phone. Everyone seemed amazed by my devotion to Neil, so I had the full attention of the room. We were ready to go.
What is on video here misses just the first line of “for the turnstiles”, but then contains the rest of the set. Here’s the setlist:
For The Turnstiles
Don’t Let It Bring You Down
Too Far Gone
(and a lot of me talking absolute dung in between songs)
After my spot you can see Gerry coming up to pat me on the back. He looked me in the eye and said I was amazing, and a lot of other people said the same. I was overwhelmed, I hadn’t expected this at all. People commented on how like Neil I sound, how much they like my voice, the funkyness of “for the turnstiles” – you name it. The encouragement was so surprising, I just kept saying thank you, trying to take it all in.
Later I thanked Gerry hugely for giving me my first gig, and he said to contact him any time I want another one!
All in all, an amazing night. I’ve learned a lot about myself, and there’s a lot to think about for the future. Praise God alone for any success I’ve had!

Tune: “O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden”/”Mein Gmüth ist mir verwirret”
(J. S. Bach/Hans Leo Haßler) (first published in 1613)
Thomas Zachariah “Tom” Glazer (September 2, 1914 – February 21, 2003) was an American folk singer and songwriter known primarily as a composer of ballads, including: “Because All Men Are Brothers,” recorded by The Weavers and Peter, Paul and Mary, “Talking Inflation Blues,” recorded by Bob Dylan, and “A Dollar Ain’t A Dollar Anymore.” He wrote the lyrics to the songs “Melody of Love” (1954), and “Skokian” (1954).
He also wrote the musical score to the film A Face in the Crowd (1957). Glazer also wrote and sang the eco-conscious title song in the 1966 movie Namu the Killer Whale starring Robert Lansing and Lee Meriwether.
Glazer was married to Miriam Reed Eisenberg; the marriage ended in divorce.
Glazer, with Dottie Evans, recorded three children’s records in 1959 and 1960 that were part of a six-album set known as the Singing Science Records. They contained songs intended to explain science concepts for young children, all of which were written by Hy Zaret (lyrics) and Lou Singer (music). One of these albums, Space Songs, included the song “Why Does the Sun Shine?” which was later covered by They Might Be Giants. His greatest commercial success came with his original recording of the song parody “On Top of Spaghetti.” In 2008, Glazer Smithsonian Folkways Recordings released Tom Glazer Sings Honk-Hiss-Tweet-GGGGGGGGGG and Other Children’s Favorites, a signature collection of Glazer’s live performances.
Glazer also recorded a number of children’s records in the late 1940s and early 1950s with Young People’s Records, Inc. These included When I Grow Up, The Chugging Freight Engine, and Come to the Fair.

Calm-A-Sutra “I’m Drinking Tea” entry for the 2009 scholarship. A music video describing the health benefits of tea as well as various ways to drink tea.
Lyrics:
Aww snap! Get your tea bags (yea yea yea) ready,
It’s about to go down.
Everybody in the place (drink tea) ditch your coffee cups,
And pick (yea yea yea) up your tea and their kettles.
We pouring this, lets go! (yea)
I’m drinking tea, (I’m drinking tea)
I’m drinking tea, (I’m drinking tea)
Everybody look at me cause I’m sipping on some tea.
(Sipping on some tea) I’m drinking tea, I’m drinking tea,
Take a good, long whiff at my delicious, healthy tea. Yea!
Antioxidants? Tea’s got tons of that.
They’re called flavonoids if you wanna be exact.
Lowers cholesterol, unclogs arteries,
Best of all tea lowers risk for heart disease.
Yea I drink tea, as I work up a sweat.
Helping metabolism, when I’m put to the test.
But this ain’t just water, this is as real as it gets.
I’m drinking tea, boosting health, don’t you ever forget!
Better yet, it comes in different forms.
Drink it piping hot, ice cold, or even luke warm.
Add some milk, or some boba, gee what a delight!
When you’re drinking tea with us, every way is right!
I’m drinking tea and, it tastes good and,
It kills viruses, boosting my immune system. No way!
It’s improving my health, reducing my blood pressure,
Decreasing the chance of developing cancer.
I never thought I’d be drinking tea,
I drank so much now I gotta go pee.
Hey coffee, look at me, white, black, green, oolong!
(woa woa woa).
I never thought I’d see the day,
With a tea kettle heading my way,
Believe me when I say, I lost so much weight!
I’m drinking tea, I’m drinking tea,
Everybody look at me cause I’m sipping on some tea.
Woa woa woa, I’m drinking tea, I’m drinking tea,
Take a good long whiff at my delicious, healthy tea.
Calma, Sutra, Tea USA.
Special thanks to CJ and Stephen for filming.

Lyrics: Ildefonso Pereda Valdés
Music: X. Montsalvatge
English translation:
Hush-a-bye my little one,
Little black one who doesn’t want to sleep.
Head of a coconut, little coffee bean,
With soft cottony hair,
With huge eyes like two windows
That look out at the sea.
Close your little eyes,
Frightened little one,
The white bogeyman could eat you!
You are no longer a slave!
If you sleep a lot
The master of the house will buy you
A suit with buttons to be just like a groom.
Hush-a-bye, sleep now little one.
Head of a coconut, little coffee bean.

This was the third song in the set performed by Headless Cross, at The Barrel, on Tuesday, 6 October 2009, and it is their own composition.
Online photo of The Barrel
http://www.bristolbands.com/images/venues/barrel.jpg
The Barrel in history
The 1899 Rate book shows William Charles Underhill as occupying the house [20 Gloucester Road]. The 1901 census tells us more about the Underhills.
Name Status AgeOccupation
Charles Underhill Head M 32Carrier – at home
Laura Underhill Wife M 31
Irene Underhill Dau 7m
Charles was baptised William Charles Underhill at St Marys in Thornbury on 5 July 1868. His parents were William and Annie Underhill. William was a labourer at that time but in 1889 he took over as beer-house keeper at the ‘Queens Head’, situated on the corner of the High Street and Chapel Street [now Blend coffee lounge]. Various directories and Charless marriage record show that William was also a carrier running a daily service to Bristol.
Charles also acquired an interest in running pubs. On 28 December 1893 he married Laura Wilson, the daughter of Thomas Wilson. Thomas had been the licensee of ‘The Horseshoe’ from 1871 until his death in 1882. The licence was then taken over first by his widow, Ann Marie, and then following her death in 1885 by her son, Henry Charles Wilson. However in 1894 shortly after Charles and Lauras marriage, Charles Underhill took over as beer-house keeper. The Horseshoe was situated in the building now used as a kebab takeaway opposite the Heart Foundation shop in St Mary Street.
Charles left The Horseshoe in 1898 and moved to ‘The Porter Stores’, which is now known as ‘The Barrel’. It seems that about 1900 Charles gave up The Porters Stores to his brother, Frederick. Unfortunately, Frederick only managed to stick it out for a couple of years before he died in early 1902 aged only 31. William Underhill, the father of both Charles and Frederick, moved from the Queens Head to The Porters Stores which he continued to run until his death in 1910.
The 1901 census record shows that when Charles moved into Gloucester Road from The Porters Stores, he became a carrier. We assume that he was working with his father on the daily service to Bristol.
We note by 1904 Charles and Laura had moved to Pullins Green and in the 1905 Rate Book he is living at 1 Horseshoe Lane, the cottage which faced on to Pullins Green. Charles died in 1909 aged only 41.
