Rather than start your own thread why not be constructive and start your own band or session & don't travel 55 miles to see anyone- it's barmy at £6.50 a gallon- as daft as paying £50 for a football match!

Can I add 'pretentious' as a further qualifier to my description of
the Unthanks as 'crap' a word I stand by.... ie the waste product left after a good dose of either food or exposure without comprehension of the wonderful repertoire of traditional music left by such originals as Ewan MacColl or A L Lloyd or Peter Kennedy- that it should come to such as the Unthanks- if they were alive today they'd be turning in their graves....
am all for kids playing the music we love but have you heard what they play???
