I've just had Libby Tempest contact me saying how much they enjoyed the event and they were delighted with the audience. They want to do further events so there is definitely potential for other people to do something. The route is easier than you think. If you're interested Mary, please get in touch and I'll send you Libby's details. (mark@markdowding.co.uk)

Our spot on the Allan Beswick programme on BBC GMR earlier in the day has had a couple of people getting in contact wanting more information. I listened in to the start of his show before I went to the studio and I thought he was going down the road of all presenters who see folk music as "Arran jumpers and fingers in the ear" but he was really enthusiastic about what we were doing and gave us a good build up. Beswick used to do a bit in the folk clubs anyway so he knows what he's talking about and doesn't dismiss us as rural idiots!


Cheers
Mark
