Funny you should say that Ruth! I was just thinking the same thing!!

Shortdog - have to say I'm surprised at your comment re Frost and Fire. I went with two friends who are not folkies, and they were both extremely impressed by the whole evening, and even specifically mentioned the Mummers play as being great fun and well presented. Maybe the particular evening you saw was a bit down? I went to the Farnham gig, and enjoyed myself far more than I had actually expected to - in fact I would really quite have liked to have had the chance to go a second time. The whole thing fizzed with enthusiasm and good rapport with the audience... in fact when I was handing out badges and flyers with the words on at the start there were two punters there who had seen it the day before in Basingstoke, and had been so enthused that they had to try and get tickets for the Farnham presentation.... so I wasn't alone in thinking it was good!! Sadly I can't make it to the Albert Hall gig, as I shall be elsewhere in London for the Keith Summers Festival (same weekend).
