Just another thought - wherever we may be in Manchester - the weekend of 18/19 Nov almost co-incides with BBC's children in need day (17th). Hows about we get involved somehow with that. It may not only help a good cause but played right could be good publicity for Mudcatters everywhere!

As well as that, seeing as the Beebs own folk presenter is from our fair city, I wonder if we could somehow involve Mrs Hardings kid himself???

Food for thought eh?
