When all is said and done, usually more has been said then done, so to speak.

I went to Sharp's at C#House about a month ago as a visitor from out of town, and was made most welcome by a friendly gang of people from most places in the folk continuum. It started at 8 and with 2 spots from Stan Medlicott(?) who also bought everyone a pint, it finished when everyone did a song or a tune.

I would like to think that most clubs are a bit like that - they are about live music some old some new and so on. MacColl was an influence but so were lots of other people. No programme or collection of programmes can sum up the last 50 years of what ever it is we do.

I am just glad it goes on. Just off to slay the Wild Rover and another Morris tune
