bullfrog,

yes i've had fleeting glimpses of your pal mark. he's involved with a new group 'the restless bentleys' comprising him on low whistle & percussion- he's one of that rare breed of bodhranii who, when he's playing, you can scarcely hear it except when necessary, adding to pieces rather than taking away or taking over. his cronies in the band are lee on whistles,mandolin,tenor banjo; rachel on concertina & flute.

i'm not sure if he's aware of my new session in the vaults as an official regular do but some months ago when we were just starting out with it as an impromptu apres clog dancing session, the 'bentleys' came in the vaults for a pint after their band practice.

i've advertised the event now so he may get wind of it, but you may also em him in case he's missed it.

cheers,

mr h
