eddie1	A worrying circular from a folk club (130* d)	RE: A worrying circular from a folk club	10 Jul 14
Slightly off-topic - I always smile wryly at reference to what we owe travellers by way of music and song. Of course we do owe them a lot and I am proud to have claimed people like Jimmy MacBeth, Belle Stewart and Davy Stewart as friends but: Way back (probably a 100 years or so) I was at the TMSA festival at Blairgowrie. Held at that place and time because of the number of travellers there for "the berry-picking"! I wanted a change from the usual run of concerts and found a pub frequented by travellers. There was what we qualified folkies would refer to as an "Open Mike" I was treated to such gems as Bebop-a-lula, Nobody's Child and Little Bittie Tear! So travellers are not all sainted bearers of the traditional music torch. On the other hand, neither are they all drunken troublemakers - a bit like any other ethnic group! Eddie
