As a paying visitor to Lewes yesterday - to melodeon workshop and concert - I have to say what a fantastic day and night I had and thank the organisers.

Out of six or seven floor spots split to the start of two halves, there was only one act that I thought - I really need to go to the bar! and several of the others including Dan Quin and Peter Collins I have paid good money to see in the past - and gladly would do again.

I've never seen Spiers and Boden live before either and they were simply fantastic. The concert price was £6 incredible value.

Brian, I've been trying to do the maths today - as you know I would like to set something up similar to Lewes Arms FC in Cranbrook - with fees to performers and room hire it doesn't add up (?) but again hats off to yourself, Valmai and the other organisers for making it work!
