Well! now I'm back home again,From 3 weeks in Holland with my girlfriend,funny I come back to Austria and Its the first bit of sunshine and heat(I've had) for 21 days But the lowlands are'nt really famous for the sunshine. so hello again,and Hello Lena! yes I think I remember seeing Martin carthy that year,but sometimes the 5 nationals form one big conglomerate festival in my mind,(with a bit of Woodford,Cobargo and Majors creek thrown in).You know....I was wondering why 'Mr Malaska' was ringing enormous bells in my head,must've been too loud to extract any sence from it.What does that 'shop -Martin carthy,Linsay' (at the top of your message) thing mean?? .And do you live in Canberra? I did ,for 8 years the band I was in is now called 'Katushya',you might have wandered in their direction at the last national Probably only 5 percent of their stuff is Finnish(if that). In Amsterdam I bought a dubious-looking cd called 'the rough guide to Scandinavia,I dont usually go in for that sort of thing ,but it was one of those rare times where i had money to waste.Asit turned out it was'nt a waste there were some good things that I had'nt heard before like FRIFOT .and other swedish and Norweigan bands. I've said enough for today ,bis spater ,Andy.
