I'm fairly new to mudcat, and am saddened by CH comments.

Is Ch always like this or is it a form of keyboard tourettes?

Or is this person a joke?

IMO I think given the circumstances, Shaneo did the right thing.
It seems to be a common thing around here, (speaking mainly as a new folkie and morris dancer), that whenever we dance out on a tour, we tend to do the pubs a big favour, it getting more custom. For those publicans who don't want to know, have less custom on the day than if they accepted our little crowd.
