"I don't know why you have to give it such a negative sounding handle though"

Apologies "treewind" - it's more a personal negative look at the downsides of what is obviously a consuming passion for many - just trying to get more understanding of the magic that's all. As I said - I do support all my local folk clubs (and there are many) and I look forward to the guests especially (I do note there are a number of my friends/colleagues who avoid guest nights - probably because they are performance junkies themselves).

Travelling folk are a special breed, and they help to make my life a very enjoyable one. I hate TV, so I need somewhere to go to share the buzz.

Power to your elbow..
