Hello Dick. I hope your Fastenet weekend went well. Always too much to do in June but I hope to get there one day.

I agree that it's great to give feedback. But it can come over as hurtful rather than helpful. I think it would be a shame if Neil stopped doing this and all the folky things he organises.

If it had been me I would have preferred a private message with a friendly approach and some constructive criticism. Maybe suggest the photo could be improved by some judicious cropping, or better still a photo of a singer in passionate unhindered flow, and a couple of reasons why you avoid clubs or singarounds where people use words and notes.
