I was being berated by a Morris man who said "We've seen you dance now sit there and watch us dance"! And you know I didn't see that particular berator doing any dancing! Did I Dave?

All my irritations are really organisational. The kind of thing that can be thought through before the fact. Artistically my preferrences are not the next Folkie's so if I don't like I don't go, and if I go and find I don't like I am comforted by the fact that someone liked them, because they booked them. If I can't accept others' preferrence how the hell can they put up with me? But turning up to a workshop that has been moved to an earlier time is not good planning. Cancell it because there are two, and we are disappointed, move it forward and we are irritated. And that is the very kind of thing that a newbie at Sidders will not have found out how to cope with. Read the newsletter every day? Not even us more hardened Siddernauts do! We bought a programme, and that couldn't possibly be wrong. Turn up for an event and it is postponed, we know when to return. Pre-pone it and we have NO CHANCE. Simples innit?
