I only came back on to the folk scene about 4 years ago, so I hardly know any of the current crop of UK singers and artists. Through Mudcat though I have got to know lots of nice people and singers and even managed to do Sidmouth and Broadstairs last year my first festivals for about 25 years or more, my last one being about the 3rd or 4th Cambridge.
So please excuse my ignorance, and I hope I will catch up with all these people eventually.
I do live a long way from anything folkie really, and there isn't a regular folk club up here in the frozen north any more. There are a few sessions but they tend to be too diddly diddly for my taste.
I will be coming to the Yorkshire Gathering so will meet a few more, but then Sidmouth is my next one, it's a bit like mounting an expedition to deepest Africa setting up a visit anywhere south of the border from way up here, I'm only about 50 miles from the top edge.
So apologies to Mr and Mrs Sooze, hope we meet up sometime.
Now you see why I need my motorhome!
