And big thanks to Geoff who took on even more than the great amount of work he usually does because of Ali's absence.

Yes Geoff Miller did sterling work at Saddleworth and with lots on his mind

Jim, I'll not be at Whitby. Foolishly I've got myself 1 week of work so unless my old man whizzzez me up by motorcycle on the Friday I have little chance of being in attendance.
Oh woe are we!
'til next time !
H.

just got my computer working so add my heartfelt thanks to everyone, but especially Geoff for the amazing time we had. We enjoyed everything, from the singarounds, and the performances. Finally, an sensational last night at the Cross Keys and the wonderful late night drinking in 8 pints van. The War of the Roses was a rather lucky win and I remain in awe of the Lancashire team. I got home and wrote a song I was that inspired! As for Hazel' dark chocolate voice -it was sounding pretty fine to me over the weekend, so we are gearing up for Hull Shanty Festival in September! thanks again to everyone but especially Ali- we missed you very much and you are in our thoughts Linda xx

Hope to pop o'er the border sometime in the future and sus out one or two clubs over t'other side of the hill so to speak. Sheffield festival looks like it could be nice and then there's the Roy Bailey and Martin Simpson gig at Sheffield City Hall for Palestine children - must try and get to that!. Sithee folks :-)

unfortunately for me, I was suffering from highly painful sciatica so walking to & around the various events was a prob.

However, had my chauffeuse drive my car up to the X Keys, where we enjoyed a fab sinaround sesh on Sat afternoon & again in the evening.

The new management were very welcoming & late Saturday night presented us with several LARGE JUGS of 'SCORCHER'!!

Whew!- Fab ale & company!!

as former Chair person of Sheffield Folk Festival I can recommend it - not involved really this year as too many other committments but the Kelham Island Museum is a fantastic venue and if you like a good mix of singing dancing and music it has a real balance ( Sheffield Folk Scene is generally buzzing and the Ceilidhsoc at the Uni really has them all dancing)- check it out if you want a festival to end the season on.
