Indeed Mr. Leveller, and the provisional line up for Ryedale 2009 so far is:

Mawkin:Causley, Jackie Oates, Dave Goulder, Brother Crow, Lucy Ward, The Mick West Trio, Dave Burland, Richard Grainger, Steve Dawes & Helen Pitt, Adrian O, Dick Miles, Kim Wyrd Guy with more to come...

I hope things get sort of out for all of you waiting for money, and I genuinely wish the Pickering Festival all the success for the future...it's just a shame they've chosen a weekend in 2009 when there's another established festival under ten miles away.

Ryedale is a great venue, with the main concerts taking place in the reconstruction of a medieval Manor House. Those of you who were there last year will know the acoustics were great...

Best Wishes,
Graeme,
Brother Crow.
