Subject: RE: Show of Hands at The Royal Albert Hall
Hello Blowz... :0)

Hope you're well...

No, this is about something which took place on the BBC board a while back now..and believe you me...there was much pushing of a certain festival and a certain festival organiser at the time, by said festival organiser over and over. There was also a very unnecessary remark made by said festival organiser about Show of Hands. I took umbridge over it and dared to say so...and World War 3 was declared after that I'm afraid....

It wasn't about SoH particularly, but about people having some sense of what is right and wrong when they are festival organisers, purely in my opinion. I merely think there is a line you should not cross on messageboards, particularly the BBC, about insulting artists, whoever those artists may be, especially if the festival itself may at times hire those artists and make money because of them, in order for their festivals to be successful.

It's about honour and a sense of integrity I guess.

Purely my opinion though, but ever since, the insults, as you can see, have been getting far, far worse.

I refuse to go down to those levels though.

And now...I'm away back to The Royal Albert Hall and 'South Australia'

I wish those Fishermen's Friends had a Myspace page...and Blowz...that reminds me!

WHEN are The New Scorpion Band going to get one? It would be a great idea! Help to spread the word etc....I've got them on my site, just as a link, but if they had their own page...magic things would happen! Myspace is that kind of place...it's AMAZING! Tell them they SO have to get one!
