Dearest Splott Man,
All being well I will be! This is quite the loveliest of Festivals and a great favourite of mine. It's big enough to generate a terrific atmosphere in the town, all of whom KNOW about it and support it, yet small enough that everyone gets to know everyone else. It brings home what I have said for many years "That Folk music is as much about Folk (people) as it is about music and song"
I do hope our Irish friends can afford the Ferry fare this year, in the past their contribution has been inmmense, the music seesions in the "Oak" have been tremendous, and no doubt local favourites "Mainbrace" will bring their Quality and erudition, and produce a great "Sea Song Session" in the "Ship" ( Note the name of the Pub Charlie, and should you be there make yourself known!)
Just the saving up to do!
Bring it on!!!! I've friends to meet,
Cheers,
Scowie.
