No, I was talking to the son of one of the Gypsy Kings, actually.

Look mate, I'm sorry, but I'm fair sick to death of your nasty behaviour in this thread. You may take this music 'seriously' but I love it in a very different way. I also have a very good sense of humour which bubbles out into all sorts of stories and images..which you may not find funny, but hey, you don't have to read my posts at all do you.

YOU are the one who suggested the radio programme, above, not me. So where all this vitriol is coming from I've no idea.

I've also had a message from your buddy, 'ruth archer'... a PM, and as most people in here know that I put rude and abusive PMs on the board, and that Joe Offer has my full permission to read ANY PMs that people send to me, or I send to others, at all times, I'm putting her message on here for others to read.....as I've said nowt about Sidmouth in this thread at all, other than recalling a wonderful evening I had at the first ever Sidmouth Folk Week, back in 2005, which I consider to have been the BEST Sidmouth Folk Week I've so far attended, because.....because it was a folk festival that was NOT supposed to happen, but it did, against ALL odds, and it was very special....


From Ruth Archer (Joan Crump of Sidmouth Folk Festival)..a PM to me a short while ago, I presume because of me daring to say the above...

>>>"if you don't want people to get personal, and if you don't want me to
keep complaining to the mods about your constant poking and having your
posts removed, stop taking sidewipes at both me and Sidmouth. Neither me
nor the festival is anything to do with you and I am fed up of being
endlessly hounded by you. For god's sake, woman. Take your crazed
vendetta elsewhere."<<<<<


I have nothing further to say to either of you, other than please take your radio programme and your folk week and shove them both where the turnips usually go.

Thank you.


And yes, Joe, I realise I'll probably get locked out of Mudcat again for a while, nay for Infinity and Beyond, but really, WTF do these people think they are?????
