Hi all

Last I heard of Tom Madden was (from Kevin Burke a couple of years back) that Tom was running a B&B with his missus in Torquay! Also that Joe Palmer was running (or part of) a radio station in Spain (or somewhere).

Recently went to Fleetwood FOlk Club's anniversary and was treated to a reunion of Dave Walters and Howard Bond (Bonded Boots). It was really great to see them together again. Howard is still singing (and playing) and I see him occasionally. Seem to have been involved in folk music forever, and wonderful it is to. Currently organising Four Fools events up here in sunny Lancashire. Sad to hear of the loss of Roger Nicholson, what a superb dulcimer player he was.

Thanks for the reminder about Capricorn Folk Club Sheila. It was going great until the pub turned the room into a restaurant. (Yep it was happening even back then).

Cheers everyone and keep singing/playing
