"I was at Staithes for a music event earlier this year.
When we went to the pub for some grub,some of the performers were having a bit of a sing and a chap called "Twilt" who I beleive is a resident performer at the "Twa Dogs" pub in the lake district,
Said here you go and handed me his beloved Martin so I could "Do" a song.
Lovely guitar nice fellow.
The other strangeness was "Dave" from Hartlepool who said here try this one and stuck his Lowden(don?) in me sticky mits.
Then went to the bar for an hour.
Quite a nervous hour on my part."

Must say you didn't seem nervous Tim - no need really either 'cause Twilt's Martin is only one of those 5 grand jobbies, and Dave's Lowden only worth about a couple. Dave's from Sunderland by the way. Great bunch of folks at Staithes... most of them would share their last meal with you.
