Kate Rusby backed out of the deal at the last moment and went back to Yorkshire

I could have sworn she went and replaced Sally Barker in the Poozies.......who don't inhabit Yorkshire.

I know a lot about Equation - they gestated after I took the duo Kate and Kathryn and the trio Lakeman Brothers to do a gig in Braga, Portugal. Instant band formation for a foreign festival. It happens. Equation came shortly afterwards.

To update you on Kathryn, she seems very happy with the occasional gig with Sean. She has two lovely children - the twins Lilly and Poppy and as you can imagine they take up a lot of her time. They were at the carols at Dungworth yesterday. If only I had known this thread was coming up, I could have asked her about it.
