Glad we have established where Haltwhistle is - and the River South Tyne runs through the town so one must suppose it may be deemed to be on Tyneside!

This is getting really almost interesting now - keep it up folks.

I would respectfully suggest that EFDSS is a far safer pair of hands for traditional folk music that some of the other oligarchies that have claimed to represent the genre in recent years.

The Society has been getting it wrong for an awful long time now but at least it is still doing a fair bit of good work - or is it?

Debate and discuss.
