You cannot imagine how proud I was to see the kind references to Miskin and indeed myself, throughout the nomination process. All a bit of fun I thought...then I pondered, hang on these are the very life blood of our festival scene here, and they seem to like Miskin - Warm Glow, Miskin Tingle Moment time. And then to hear such an amazing verdict. I am very proud and happy to have found a formula that works.
When the results were announced I was away in Suffolk with Jillie researching and meeting surviving family members. My cousin Geoff Ling was well pleased that I was so involved in our traditions and was still flying/singing the family flag. You helped make an old gentleman of our traditions very happy.
