Well I have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Chester Folk Festival and I see the thread has died

Thank goodness the weather has for a change been ok, usually stair rods it down at Spring Bank Holiday!

No doubt others have been to Cleethorpes or Chippenham FFs

Roy Clinging had his Cheshire book launch at the festival

Les Barker's band had em in stitches and Heyfeva, young musicians were absolutley brilliant, how we spawn such brilliant musicians with exceptional stage craft i do not know

Pete Morton has started to grow on me, so to speak


However singing songs in the traditional style is a totally different

matter See thread name above!!
