Subject: RE: Review: Ely Folk Festival
Kev - that's a real Ely Sunday session. One year we had a bunch of Djembe players in. The only real down side was when certain someone sang a song that is so hackneyed that it just isn't done any more. That was embarrassing. The galloping squeezers are fine so long as they don't take over. The threepenny bit player got several goes as a step-dancer. It isn't "around" - it's a free-for-all! There is etiquette in general. I only saw one person played over all night.
I bought a tee-shirt. It reminded me of a certain well-known 70s female rock violinist trying to pee up her fiddle...
Next year can we have Jon Loomes and Bluehorses (separately) please?
