Thread Name: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013.
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013.
I long for the return of the Folk Club Traditional Joke Workshops at Blitherscrum. They were such a belly laugh. Three jokes that I fondly remember from those days:-

a] The guitarist who came to the joke workshop, stood tuning his instrument for 12 minutes and then said, "Oh well, that's close enough for folk!"

b] The woman who introduced a song saying, "Here's one I learned from The English Book of Penguin Folk Songs."

c] The bloke who turned up at the workshop with a hat full of cloakroom tickets and announced, "Now I am going to draw the Raphael!"

Cracks like that used to crease me up. Can anyone remember any more? They should all be recorded for the sound archives before these priceless jewels die out.
