Which members of The Critics Group are still alive and performing? And which ones are already booked for festivals this year? I ask this because I( and I'm sure many others ) would like to go to a festival workshop where information about the group is delivered by people who have first hand knowledge. When performers have already been booked then it should be fairly easy for festival organisers to set up such a workshop. If this thread attracts some attention then perhaps Mudcatters could draw it to the attention of festival organisers to get the idea up and running?

Wikipedia says "Members of the group at various times included Frankie Armstrong, Bob Blair, Brian Byrne (UK), Helen Campbell (UK), Jim Carroll (UK), Phil Colclough, Aldwyn Cooper, Ted Culver, John Faulkner, Richard Humm, Allen Ives, Sandra Kerr, Paul Lenihan, Pat Mackenzie, Jim O'Connor, Maggie O'Murphy, Charles Parker, Brian Pearson, Michael Rosen, Buff Rosenthal, Susanna Steele, Denis Turner, Jack Warshaw, Terry Yarnell and others who joined for individual Festival of Fools shows.
