Before the Bridges & GEFFs come along and hurl meaningless, defensive, snarling abuse at Nigel, I'd just like to get in my admiration of his courage at speaking out. He says nothing I haven't known for 40 years (almost the whole of his lifetime) but it needs to be said. Loudly.
Because it is THEY (the Bridges & GEFFs) who are the enemies of efforts to raise the tradarts to the status they deserve.
Nigel, the music has lasted a bloody long time and will, whether or not you and I and the Cap'n squander our time on Mudcat. It is, fortunately, for enduring than a gaggle of parochial GEFFs in a "f*lk club", a concept which is well on the way out and quite irrelevant apart from a tiny handful of shining examples.
It not just survives but thrives elsewhere, as you and I know.
And long will it.
And, yes, hurrah for Bellowhead. These things take a little time . . .
