And the answer to the question is therefore YES Guest Jack :-) As far as I understand it from Ralphie, apart from Jon's other input,the two of them are lined up in a workshop on the Duet concertina, which I'm looking forward to attending with a lot of interest.

Incidentally, looking at the information that Mark has provided about the event that Ralphie and I are going to be presenting, we are not actually giving a "talk" as such... there is talk involved, but we are presenting a show "Listen and You shall Hear" about the life and work of Lucy Broadwood (so not just her song collecting) - it contains 13 or so musical items ... it's (hopefully - but you'll have to ask those who've seen it before) not a dry dust lecture (the lady had a sense of humour and an interesting life ) :-)

I've only been to Bradfield once before (about five years ago), but enjoyed the sessions and the company immensely. However, even though it's in July, make sure you bring some winter woollies and layers - it can get very cold and windy in the Peaks.
