They're great aren't they - they've just spent this weekend at the BBC Young Folk Award semi-finals, so fingers crossed for them!

Think I might have to arrange a visit to my sister in Exeter in April.... She is not really a Folkie but I'm sure she will enjoy it......

Would love to get there. Memories of a young Steve Knightley, Paul Downes, Phil Beer, Colin Wilson - all those guys.

To paraphrase ISB, i was a young man back in the 1970's, and the travel was hard by that I mean we still used the wheel........

Nobody has seemed to mention that it's the open Morris day as well, there will be 400 Morris persons roaming the streets of Exeter tomorrow.
