Thread Name: young folk tradition undermining folk
Subject: RE: young folk tradition undermining folk
I am delighted that

the young man in question (whoever that might be) has been taking some time out from touring this year to organise a folk club and festival, complete a commission for orchestra for the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, write and record a new album and take over his own booking and business affairs, as well as play guitar for his sister for a bit of a change

has been so busy.

But I was simply reflecting on the booking list available as a piece of public information for the young man in question (whoever that might be) on his website and that it did not reflect his perceived popularity (let's say) two years ago.

If that is a piece of conscious decision making in order to further his love of music and desire to succeed in a difficult business, and because he has simply been to busy to chase or accept gigs, then that is great and good luck to him and his sister with whom he will be playing this summer.

I take it since you have taken over your own business affairs that the publicity lady has gone? :-)
