From my conversations with Doc at the National it seems that Dr. Howells is finally accepting that our concerns are nothing at all to do with commercial music. He is asking for clarifying explanations about the Morris and about regular sessions, and seems to be giving new focus to this issue so he can understand it, which he freely admits now that he doesn't.
I wouldn't hold your breath though! I wish he had answered my question on Mike Harding properly....are these people trained to speak like robots?
