Ian, my neice is Chloe Dunn, of Cottenham. She's the fiddle end of a four piece, but dang, I can't remember the band's name. The dear little maid is only 14.

I bumped into Sam at one of Carol Dawson's Hootenannays at Wootton, and while we're on the subject of next years festivals, how about scratching together a bridge toll and coming over to the Sloop in Barton on Humber of a Tuesday, where anarchy, good cheer and free sandwiches accompany Eric Twigger from Cottingham FC, surely one of the nicest blokes a chap could meet.
