Granma's post exemplifies how Eliza can set the mood here - after what WAS a misunderstanding, she tells me to F-off, and then follows a stream of childish, false and defamatory, kick-him-while-he's down attacks, from most of the rest of you.
Meanwhile, my accurate post about good REGULTIONS at NE folk festival competitions (follow the links for the list), regarding local material and unaccompanied singing, has been completely ignored.
And to somewhat petulant Volgadon and Woody - I was out at a singaround last night, and will now address Pip, AGAIN: I've said, as part of my regulationism, that economic/capitalist (NOT all) immigration/emigration should be stopped, the world over, from now on.
And again to Ralphie - since my myspace music (use above link, if you wish) is so bad that you don't want me attending your folk club, you'd better tell me which one it is - as, despite all the above remarks, I remain a keen English folkie (whose performances some HAVE apparently enjoyed).
