well actually i have changed my mind about all this.

I am willing to concede that all of you are probably completely right about everything, and I was completely wrong.

i was at Fylde this weekend, and I suddenly realised that actually I am very isolated in folk music. No bugger else is doing anything remotely like what I do, and this should tell me something. If that had been an election, I would have lost my deposit!

I got it wrong somewhere, I'm not sure it matters where. But my ideas must have been very mistaken somewhere along the line. sorry about the fuss I made over this and various other subjects.
