Saul Rose at Cornwall Folk Festival 2004 was a pretty special moment for me - I had never seen or heard anything quite like it. (being a teenager at the time, despite being a morris dancer and sometimes melodeon player, I was quite anti-folk!)

Every so often in random sessions something just clicks, a moment of clarity washes over me, I can sense the past, present and future through the music. What causes this must be some very specific mix of music, a feeling of shared tradition, people and beer (attempts to replicate this have resulted in failure - usually due to too much beer)
