What is it with you? I was talking about Sidmouth Folk Week, the first one. Sidmouth is no longer my local festival. Even when it was, for the past two years I've not attended it hardly at all. I'm afraid that I've never felt the same about it since Gordon had to step down, following the Feminist Witch Hunt against him. If it wasn't for him, Sidmouth would have died, and 'they' hounded him out, by NOT supporting him as they should have done. And no, Dave, my ex was not one of those who didn't support Gordon, he did.

Capiche?

Can you now stop the baiting. (Flying pigs, I guess)

Lovely piece of writing Tom.

As to the Scots, it was their loss. Good to hear that you've been supported by many though. Confusing as to why folk didn't turn out.
When I saw you and Tom Napper at Sidmouth that time, the room was pretty near full, as I recall and we had a really entertaining and often very moving afternoon of songs...I missed you at Eve's a while back, due to only finding out the evening before you were due to play, and I already had somewhere else to be, which was a real bummer, you being just down the road.

There's a need for the folk world to reach new audiences, perhaps, but that's a whole other thread...
