Anyone phoned Alan - Should I persevere?

Letchworth was good last night

'Faries with Boots' played tunes, Malcolm Hobbs sang marvellous ballads, Alan was the ghost of Johnny Cash and a bit of Bruce Bedspring, Nigel sang some Slade, Sue sat clutching her fiddle, Stevi rode on, A glamourous granny wore a galway shawl (which evidently can't be brought in Galway), another man sang & played his guitar single handed, Cathy lounged about looking glamourous, loads of groupies swamped the main seating areas and Chris sang a song to send us home happy

Easy to get to - Baldock is in Herts, just off the A1M, and come off at the first junction North of Stevenage.

Paul was a very kind man and he's very sadly missed from this messageboard. I hope that the festival goes well Ross, you've got a great line- up there, and I hope it goes from strength to strength, turning into a major folk festival.

And you're so very right, Paul won't ever be forgotten.

If Joe Offer is reading - I wonder if it's possible to change the subject heading to 'Scrump Music Festival - 28-29th March' or similar

Many thanks

Hi Ross, suggest you start a new thread for the 28th March festival, with the right title, and just link from here to that.
