Hi John,

The great Silvo is on at Poynton this w/end. Saw him there last year and he was as great as ever. I recently attended a Family Mahone gig the m/c university - most of the audience were about 30 years younger than me (mind you i think Shane McGowen was the main attraction) but with Kate Rusby, Eliza Carthy and quite a few other not-so-oldies (saw a group of lads playing jigs & reels whose average age was about 13? and they were fab) so there is hope!

Methinks the one man band was Don Partridge john.
