Roderick - you may be right! I remember Weston and "they called the wind Maria". apologies to all for my grumpiness in earlier posting. I have osteoporosis and a very painful frozen shoulder and can get a bit mawkish. But seriously, further back in the thread someone said we should be going out and supporting the music and not sitting in typing and they were right. But with pubs closing all over the place, which were the usual starting point for live bands /acts it is going to get harder for new acts to get started. Next folk gig I see I will go to.

Its lovely reading this thread now with so many people posting now who remember great nights and great artists.
