I was a travelling folkie yesterday and enjoyed the Folkaholics very much at Winkwell. You all were very well received by the customers and bar staff. The photos I took aren't too bad, so I could print some, forge signatures and go round the pub selling them.

It all sounded very spirited, yet unobtrusive. The range of instruments and songs added variety, the songs were a mixture of humourous and serious and there were opportunities for all there to join in from time to time.

Allan was brilliant. I am glad you enjoyed the evening Scrump. His song about the man with the cracked china cups who had problems breathing really caught me unawares - thank goodness he had given me my tissues back by then. A lot of the other songs he sang were on his last CD and it was good to hear them live again.
