Thank you john. Why tell them my trade? A good point there "Forgive, forget and move on" i like that idea.
As for festival sessions I probably will be at Sidmouth. (Unless the Ealing jazz festival clashes and we're booked) I would say that re-reading this thread the rough ages here are between 19 and 34+. we could have a mass get toghether at say one of the sessions. Leadfingers will be able to help me out here. He runs one of the sessions in town and we could tag on to that. For anybody younger than 19 (If they read this thread!) then they should come accompanied by an adult. Leadfingers is in cohorts with festival organisers so we could nab spare rehersal venues etc to play/jam. We could get in touch with the shooting roots guys as they run events/ showcases. They tend to be for younger people than our catchment age.
Right dinner calls.
Will be willing to discuss issues arising by p.m or here.
    With regards.
    Pete.
