Sorry DeG, I wasn't getting at Jim - it was he who used the phrase 'one-horse town'. If I read it right, he said he was in a 'one-horse rural town/village in the arsehole of nowhere'. I was merely quoting his post and asking politely where he was, in case there was any chance of getting there to see his venue.

No offence intended. Lord knows, after being on this forum, on and off, for ten years or so, I'm very wary of causing offence !!!

As it turns out, I've just looked up his town - and now I want to go there.

I heard some great sessions in Manchester when I was last living there, DeG... but that was in the 70s. Good folk clubs, and even the occasional great blues legend at the Free Trade Hall, but of course that's another story. (I'm convinced I once saw Howlin' Wolf and Freddie King on the same bill there, but the memory plays tricks after all these years).
