Sorry for not taking part the last couple of days. We've had a busy weekend with John Kirkpatrick giving us two all day workshops ("Modes in Traditional Music" and "English Traditional Song") as well as his Saturday evening appearance at the club. All in the upstairs room of a pub. All sold out. One of the floorsingers did a Walter Pardon song - "Down by the dark arches".

Anyway, I think it is time to stop taking this thread seriously. You can't reason with someone who isn't listening.

Following Jim's hints about heavy metal folk, I suggested booking this band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIXV2NhLb_0 but the rest of the committee felt that they were more Early Music than Folk.
