Having used the day after my arrival back from Whitby to join Mudcat and do the washing, I managed to get to Towersey on Sunday - the day the catters held a singaround after the big singaround in the 3 Horseshoes barn. We had some wonderful singing from King Brilliant, Daisy, Geordie broon, Morticia, Gervase, Micca, Noreen, JudeL, Liz the Squeak, Ickle Dorrit, Alanww and Matthew Edwards. There were some very squeaky moments when I sang Dennis Wheatley. It was great to meet catters I didn't know before, as well as to realise that there are many catters I've known for years and years from Towersey, Sidmouth and even my local folk clubs. The atmosphere in the barn was very emotional - we were walking on Rod Shearman's ashes, Rod's family were there, and the collection was going towards the project to publish Rod's songs, hopefully in time for the memorial day on 11 November. Don't ask me about the Steve Heap festival because I didn't manage to get to that bit. One of these days I will get away from the fringe and go to official events, honest, but the fringes seem to be getting better and better....
