It would seem, to me, to be good practice to wait until confirmation of the patient's death before proceeding with the burial.

Folk clubs may, for many and diverse reasons, be struggling. They are not now, nor are they likely to be at the point of collapse.

These things seem to run naturally in cycles, and there are numerous indications that there is an ongoing upturn in what one might call "home made music", i.e. sessions.

There will be a knock on effect on public interest in the kind of songs which still have, wait for it, MELODY.

That's us folks!....and off we go again.

Some of us are old enough to have seen more than on cycle.
