In view of some of the hostile remarks which have been expressed about Hull, and also, quite unjustifiably, towards some of the people from there, I'd just like to add my compliments to the city and its musical traditions.
When I visited Hull and Beverley several times earlier this year I found a lively and vibrant community of singers and musicians, who were also very friendly and welcoming. There were, and still are, lots of sessions going on, and I'm encouraged to hear of Geoff Lawes' new club at the Bull which I hope will be a great success, and while I don't expect to be returning in the forseeable future, I'm still interested to hear about what goes on there.

The people who post from Hull are a diverse bunch of individuals who add a great deal to the forum with their humour, and wit, but above all with their love of music. I would admit that I could sometimes wish that there was a little less drivel, but if that is the price to pay for all the good stuff that is posted then I can't really object.

I am very concerned that those who have been distressed by some of the more offensive comments that have been made should not be driven away from here. I and many others value the contributions made by 'Ullites to the Mudcat, and to music in general, and I plead with those who are thinking of quitting to stay, and continue to entertain the rest of us with both BS and music.

I have great memories of Hull. As a schoolboy athlete I ran in the English Schools Championships there, billeted over two nights with a family in Willerby. I also remember Notingham Forest beating Hull City 4-0 one Christmas Day. Wally Ardron scored all 4, one right foot shot, one left, and 2 headers, As a singer I had memorable gigs at the Blue Bell, the famous Folk Union One, and also at the Rugby with the great Ian (Jock) Manuel. He was a superb singer especially good on bothy ballads. I don't think he got the recognition he deserved. He sang really good songs in a rough-edged but musical voice,with a terrific sense of rhythm. There was a good club at South Cave too. I've never sung at the Maritime Festival but I'm willing!. Hull held a leading position in the folk revival at one time. It would be grand to see it rise again.

I well remember your Hull gigs, Burl. And there's still a few of us who remember Jock's singing.

As for the folk revival, Hull and District (inc North Lincs) seems to be having a mini-revival of its own at the moment. There's a new club started at the Bull on Beverley Road (Thurs) and more sessions than you can shake a stick at. And the People's Voice Festival in Beverley this year was a wonderful example of what can happen when a few right-minded individuals get together - a completely free festival, with concerts, dance, sessions, workshops, dance teams, pub gigs, singarounds, the lot.
