May I draw the attention of ballad enthusiasts to another of our very popular all-day ballad forums at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club on Saturday 3rd. December with Paul & Liz Davenport, who also perform at the club in the evening?
Full details are on this thread.

Next year we have ballad forums and performances by Anne Nielson & Gordeanna McCulloch on Saturday 30th. June and Craig Morgan Robson on Sunday 16th. September.

We also have a free ballad session on Sunday 22nd. January from noon-3.00 p.m. at our headquarters in the Elephant & Castle, Lewes.

I am delighted to report that ballad singing continues to flourish in Lewes.
