Subject: RE: Farewell to the Buffalo Brothers
Hi there

Well it looks like I'm getting the hang of commenting on this forum now.

What can I say? Thank you for all your kind words. Mark did indeed join us at our farewell gig and he helped make it one of the most memorable nights I've had in a folk club in the last, ooer thirty years? Thanks again Mark.

Thanks also to Sooz who brought all this to your attention. The Buffalo Brothers were fantastically crap at self publicity, regularly turning up to gigs with no cds, never having had one single decent photograph taken of them and only ever doing gigs when the phone rang.

I've not seen Buffalo John since the gig, he's up in Northumberland hugging a tree and doing some oms no doubt. But as soon as I see him we're going to have words. It may be that since Fairport Convention look like packing Cropredy in for good, we may do our own miniscule version of it. Buffalo Stampede 2005 may already be in the pipeline?

Thanks everybody
Allan Wilkinson
