Looking forward to seeing them perform as W:C and a hot chocolate is definitely on the cards for Ruth. And some cake, and possible a brandy with it. And please Ruth, call me Dave, no need to be formal or avuncular!!

And to stay on topic.

Two things not mentioned so far. The Goathland Plough Stotts were terrific, and I wonder what people thought of Feargal Sharkey's contribution.

My own instincts say "Why would Steve (Heap) have brought him along to give an indication that there might encouraging words for folk music from the Live Music Forum if there was no encouraging words to be found in the Live Music Forum's report in four weeks time". But I would be interested to hear other's thoughts.

Did he stay for the whole show?
