**** THREAD CREEP - re: FOLK IN LYMM IN 2005 - A LITTLE CORRECTION TO A COUPLE OF POSTS TELLING ME I WAS WRONG. NO ANGST or problem with people from my end *****

Nothing to do with the state of folk now - or is it? Who knows?

But I was neither slagging someone off just giving a straightforward factual account of what happened when I visited Lymm. I read the write up and went on a Wednesday and it wasn't for me. It was more closed and traditional than I thought so I left. I'm not even sure anyone would have noticed though there were few people there :). I was perhaps hoping for something more like the description. Perhaps they didn't like the cut of my jib. I have even been known (uncomfortably to sing an unaccompanied song though I am more comfortable with a guitar in my hands to hide behind)

Songs in the Snug

Brian Peters and The Sandman - do you ever get that feeling of deja vu? It was 2005 I visited Lymm and 2007 when this thread was going. Railway at Lymm

Not a dream but I do like to check my memories aren't deluded. :)
