>>The Demon Barbers and CBS put pen to paper yet to thank you for saving their moribund careers?<<


The Demon Barbers were kind enough to give me some of their 'artist's free tickets' to Beautiful Days last year actually Ruth. Those tickets covered being able to see any artists, for the entire day, I should point out. I raced over to the main arena when they were on and stood there riveted with the rest of the crowd! SUPERB DAY! You can read what happened in my Demons, Diamonds and Disbelief Blog right here, on my Myspace page, first blog....if you should want to of course. ;0) My daughter and I had the most lovely day that day all thanks to the kindness of Damien, Bryony and all the others.

DEMONS DIAMONDS & DISBELIEF

And yes, Lester did thank me, at Sidmouth, for the Folkwaves thread on Radio 2 and for the fun we used to have on there and the interest it generated.

The people who I have had the good fortune to meet in the folk world have all been extremely lovely. Those people, to me, are the 'real' folk world. They are not bitter, high and mighty, bitchy, unpleasant, spiteful, nor do they consider themselves to be better than anyone else or know-it-alls either. They are warm and welcoming, kind and caring.

I have admiration for them all and I thoroughly enjoy writing about them all too. I will also continue to write about them as well.

Folkiedave....thank you for writing what you feel I *should* have written, but I write what I choose to write. Never do I write, or do, as people dictate I should. You are free to interpret my words or twist them, as you deem appropriate to your view of me. But if it's all the same to you, I'll just carry on the way I've always done...

And that is simply being me and loving the music.

Please feel free though, to write in whatever way you all so choose, I'll not fill in your words for you.

Thanks
