Bridgend Farmhouse BIG opening party. March 2018





 This weekend, Saturday 24th March 2018 to be precise, Portnawak greatly enjoyed playing the garden stage for the grand opening of Bridgend Farmhouse.

This is an excellent project, where a group of folk have tirelessly been working for 7 years to bring it into fruition.  Bridgend Farmhouse has been renovated from it's dilapidated state into a community owned initiative, with cafe, garden, workshops and volunteers.  The emphasis is placed on community and good eating.

 Go and visit, get involved!

Siblings reunited!


What a marvellous way to end a great year of gigs, weddings, shimmy shakedowns and Medievaldisco's...

Our wonderful harmonium-ist, flautist and church organist extraordinaire Edith Custard has been reunited with sister Agatha after 32 years.

Agatha (pictured) saw a performance by Portnawak and The Woo and was shocked to find her long lost sister pedalling away on the harmonium, which provides the 'wheezy, creaky, throbbing bedrock of the Portnawak sound'.

They have since had many afternoon teas to catch up on all the news from the last three decades. Hooray! Battenberg for all!

Pink Bunny from Space

Yesterday a giant pink bunny fell from space killing a party of drunken aristocrats who were out murdering grouse. Bunny Astronomers suspect local bounce merchants Portnawak & the Woo of luring the lapine to the area with promises of "really big holes" and "a lettuce the size of Bass Rock". The troubadours were last spotted dragging a B&Q trolley full of dead grouse over the horizon.

Cooking an egg

Portnawak II from Woodcote shows
his nice first paned egg  to his friends
- Grab a pan, standard size, good quality
- Start a fire (prefer heavy wood to pine)
- Immobilise one of your hens, using the pan
- Threaten the hen to cook it in the pan if it does not give an egg right now
- You should now have your egg
- Put your pan over the fire, and break the egg inside the pan
- Sing "Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Who's got my Cuckoo!?!"
- Your egg should now be ready cooked, enjoy!
