Banjiman, would 'FARTS' be a thinly veiled dig at that venerable body the AFO?

And Paul, you are right, the 'best young act ever to hit the scene' does seem to be what festival organisers want these days. We do in the folk world now seem to be falling into the same media trap and hype as 'pop' music, where we are told what we will like (good example, Bellowhead)

There is a huge amount of new and undiscovered talent out there with performers who left their teens behind a long time ago. Fortunatly there are still some brave festival organisers who will book new acts from the baby boomer generation.
