Mmm..   Not embracing this Mudcat lark these days, a rather unmistakeable odour permeates across the pond.

However, back here in the real world..

A smaller than normal band of balladeers, banjologists and banter in The Wheatsheaf last night but quality over quantity of course....

Note the rookerie's posts regarding The Epworth Music Day, including an acoustic session all afternoon and a folky diddly doo session at the same time as well as concerts all day all over the place. (Yours truly seems to be doing one spot in a car park. I hope they remove the red jelly babies for me.)

Some cracking singers nights and sessions going around locally these days and our two are only part of the picture. All good stuff.

Don't forget, we are only two hours from London via Kings Cross to Doncaster then Dave's Taxi, tell him Ian sent you. Alternatively, the VIP terminal at Sandtoft International Airport does a rather nice champagne whilst awaiting carriages.
