hi

I hope you don't mind if I go off the thread topic briefly.

I used to play rugby ( which does have some connections with folk clubs) and during my captaincy we were playing away in Liverpool and as we were warming up we noticed that nearly every player in the opposition sported a beard.

Our then Chairman who never missed a game was as usual sitting on his shooting stick ( !!!!) and as we ran on to the pitch to play he stopped me and said.....who are we playing today ??? The 12 Apostles ?? None of them played in sandals !!!! lol

I don't know if any of them were folkies but one guy was apparently a poet and was wont occasionally during the game to go wandering around quoting verses from his own poetry.

Ah those were the days....

Cheers
