tradsteve, if you want some lessons on the trad folk songs and customs, feel free to come round to my house.....

Dorset had just about got into the swing of the 70's folk revival when I started going to folk clubs in the early 80's. We always were a few decades behind the rest of the country. Only just got a McDonalds in the biggest seaside resort this year...... The county town ran a market that only stopped selling livestock in 1980 and there are no motorways(freeways) and mobile phones don't seem to work there.... so I was stunned to find that folk music still happened all over the world. I went to my first festival in 1982, and been to at least one a year ever since. And Gervase is right about Towersey, his son, Young Lummox has been known to enjoy himself in the barn, and doesn't hide when his dad starts singing.

Gervase, do you want to come and play with my train set??
