Hi Ruth ..... we've never actually asked for permission ... although I doubt if a solitary conductor is going to ask 60-70 folkies to refrain from singing, in past years they've had all on just to sell tickets to all the people on board never mind anything else.

Trevor are you going to join us this year .... perhaps get Peter to bob over, he has been to a couple of do's in Huddersfield when we had fund raisers there
