Hi, Cyparissa! Another 'codger' here---and welcome to the best folk forum in the Galaxy. You are settled in one of the hottest hotbeds of folk music in the UK. Somebody mentioned some of the Newcastle High Level Ranters. Add to them Benny 'the whale' Graham, Jim Sharp, Vin Garbutt, Terry Conway---och!, I could go on, and on. If you are any kind of folk [or decent country, or Appalachian, --Dylan, Beatles,paxton, etc., etc.,]please don't deprive those Northumbrians and Durhamites of your talents, eh?
