Subject: RE: Dick Miles, Just as the tide
my point, Vic, is that I put my videos and tutorialvideos up for free, so that the music can get passed on and people can learn.
you have not bothered to check my video, yet I am a professional singer and you are a folk club organiser.I am nearly speechless


I have no wish to be unkind to you, Dick, but you have emailed me requesting a gig at club or festival within the last year. I replied carefully and politely outlining the reasons why we could not do so. If you can't remember them, then let me know and I will send them again - but by private message as this would not be a matter for a public forum.

I might also remind you that within the past year you have called me an "arse-licker" on this forum. Now, this was not mentioned when I took your name and request for a booking to both the festival committee and the club committee - but I remember thinking at the time that it was an odd way of trying to endear yourself to someone that you might want to book you.

Can I wish you the best with your career even though it looks unlikely that we will book you?
