Carols And Capers - Maddy Prior & The Carnival Band

What a voice - updated

Advantages: A thoroughly great night out
Disadvantages: Depends on your taste in music

Maddy Prior has the most beautiful voice. She used to be lead singer with Steeleye Span in the 70’s and I always loved their music – remember the hit All Around My Hat? I saw Steeleye Span perform live at the open air concert at Cardiff Castle where 10CC were topping the bill. It had rained all afternoon and we were all soaked but as Maddy Prior took the stage the rain stopped! I didn't really know her at that time but the music was brilliant and her voice was so clear.

As you take your seats for the performance the stage is littered with guitars, fiddles, drums of all sorts, bagpipes (Irish and Flemish), oboe and many instruments I’d never even heard of! Dave's boss had suggested that he went to ...

Review of Maddy Prior and The Carnival Band

A 4-day Cruise on the Carnival fun-ship Paradise

Advantages: Entertainment, a great opporunity to see a few different places on one holiday
Disadvantages: food limited at night, slow room service, small-ish ship

I was recently taken on a 4 day Carnival cruise on their Paradise boat, departing from Long Beach, Ca, and visiting Catalina and Ensenada, Mexico. We left Monday evening and returned Friday morning. It was my first experience at cruising. ~ Booking ~ I was taken as a surprise trip, so I was not involved in the booking process and can not comment on it, or on the price paid per person, as I do not know. ~ Parking and Baggage Drop Off ~ When we eventually arrived at the Long Beach ferry terminal (through our own mistake we first went to the San Pedro terminal? whoops!) we easily found parking in a large multi-storey car park and, just as easily, dropped our baggage off with porters. Prior to arrival, we had received luggage tags that we'd filled in our details on. These meant that our baggage would be taken to our rooms, and would ...

carnival games

Advantages: entertaining and fun
Disadvantages: it can get boring very quick

This game is good for a group of friends playing it together but can get a little bit boring after a while.. Its a carnival game but the "prizes" are not that good..My kids do not enjoy playing this game as it is a bit difficult, the bowling game and the duck shooting game is quite fun and can be entertaining but as i say even them games get boring very quickly.. In my opinion this would be a good game if you had a few friends over for a get together for a few hours but as for going out to purchase this game to play everyday its not worth it. maybe a few more entertaining games added on, it maybe more enjoyable. But i do not recommend this wii game ...
